Status and prospects of the LHCb experiment
Prof. Ulrich Straumann / Université de Zurich

The LHCb experiment is designed to exploit the large b quark production cross section in pp collisions at the future LHC at CERN in order to perform a wide range of precision studies of CP violating phenomena and rare decays in the B meson systems. The experiment will operate at a moderate luminosity of 2Ã^_1032 cm-2s-1 and should be fully operational from the start of LHC operation in mid of 2007. An overview of the design and present production status of the experiment will be given, with some emphasis on the silicon tracking system, provided by the Swiss groups. The physics reach of the experiment will be demonstrated by the results of some Monte Carlo simulations.
