Advanced Virgo: a second-generation interferometric gravitational wave detector

Fausto Acernese, +233 more
TL;DR: Advanced Virgo as mentioned in this paper is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detection rate) by three orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

The LHCb detector at the LHC

A. A. Alves, +889 more
TL;DR: The LHCb experiment is dedicated to precision measurements of CP violation and rare decays of B hadrons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva).
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced Virgo: a 2nd generation interferometric gravitational wave detector

Fausto Acernese, +227 more
TL;DR: Advanced Virgo as discussed by the authors is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detection rate) by three orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of the LHCb Vertex Locator

Roel Aaij, +102 more
TL;DR: The Vertex Locator (VELO) as discussed by the authors is a silicon microstrip detector that surrounds the proton-proton interaction region in the LHCb experiment, which is operated in vacuum and uses a bi-phase CO2 cooling system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of the LHCb Vertex Locator

TL;DR: The Vertex Locator (VELO) as mentioned in this paper is a silicon microstrip detector that surrounds the proton-proton interaction region in the LHCb experiment, and the performance of the detector during the first years of its physics operation is reviewed.
