SUMMARY:LHCb Upgrade II - Flavour Physics at HL-LHC - Dan Thompson: Univer

DESCRIPTION:The LHCb Detector\, after performing beyond specification duri
 ng Run 1+2 of the LHC\, was successfully upgraded during Long Shutdown 2 t
 o the current detector\, increasing the instantaneous luminosity by a fact
 or of 5 and moving to a fully software-based trigger. This will further LH
 Cb's physics reach\, enabling more world-leading measurements of CP violat
 ion\, rare b and c hadron decays and the further discovery of new particle
 s through spectroscopy.\n\nLHCb Upgrade II is the planned next upgrade to 
 be installed during LS4\, allowing LHCb to operate through to the end of t
 he LHC schedule\, ramping up with the increased HL-LHC luminosity to ~40 p
 p collisions per bunch crossing. This will provide an unprecedented and un
 matched sample of b and c hadron decays\, increasing the total luminosity 
 yield seven-fold\, with unique acceptance and a diverse physics programme.
  This will require a complete overhaul of the sub-detectors with time reso
 lution\, high granularity and extreme radiation hardness required to manag
 e the increase in rate.\n\nThe motivations for LHCb Upgrade II will be pre
 sented along with an overview of the detector upgrades before focusing on 
 the VErtex LOcator (VELO) and the recent progress on VELO Upgrade II desig
 n\, simulation and\nongoing R&D. Finally\, the possible VELO readout metho
 ds will be discussed\, with the high rates producing 20+ Tbps from the sub
 -detector.
