SciFi: A large Scintillating Fibre Tracker for LHCb

Understand

The LHCb detector will be upgraded during the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) of the LHC in order to cope with higher instantaneous luminosities and to read out the data at 40 MHz using a trigger-less readout system.

• The current LHCb main tracking system will be replaced by a single homogeneous detector based on scintillating fibres.
• This contribution gives an overview of the scintillating fibre tracker concept and presents the experience from the series production complemented by most recent test-beam and laboratory results.
