Mounting LHCb hadron calorimeter scintillating tiles
Scintillating tiles are carefully mounted in the hadronic calorimeter for the LHCb detector. These calorimeters measure the energy of particles that interact via the strong force, called hadrons. (Image: CERN)

LHCb VELO in the clean room
The VErtex LOcator (VELO) has been upgraded during LS2. It is a new pixel detector consisting of 52 modules, each equipped with four hybrid planar pixel tiles, arranged in thin walled RF boxes which form secondary vacuum enclosures within the LHC primary vacuum. It is cooled with evaporative C0$_{2}$. (Image: CERN)

RICH1
The two ring-imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors, RICH1 and RICH2, located upstream and downstream of the LHCb magnet 1 and 10 m away from the collision point, provide excellent particle identification over a wide momentum range. Both have been refurbished to cope with the more challenging data-taking conditions of Run 3. (Image: CERN)

FRONT-END ELECTRONICS
Within the LHC, the beams cross one another in a detector every 25 nanoseconds, corresponding to a frequency of 40 MHz (40 million times per second). In previous years, LHCb filtered down this “event rate” to 1 MHz, using fast electronics to select the most interesting events. (Image: CERN)
