【 摘 要 】

The LHCb experiment is designed to perform high-precision measurements of CP violation and search for New Physics using the enormous flux of beauty and charmed hadrons produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The operation and the results obtained from the data collected 2011 and 2012 demonstrate that the detector is robust and functioning very well. However, the limit of O(1)fb-1of data per year cannot be overcome without improving the detector. We therefore plan for an upgraded spectrometer by 2018 with a 40MHz readout and a much more flexible software-based triggering system that will increase the data rate as well as the efficiency specially in the hadronic channels. Here we present the LHCb detector upgrade plans.
