✦ Synopsis

The Vertex Locator (VELO) is the component of the LHCb experiment nearest to the interaction point. It is a silicon strip detector comprised of two retractable halves and during stable running the inner-most active silicon sits approximately 8 mm from the beams. Here we briefly describe the LHCb VELO and present early performance results with data taken in the first half of 2010.

LHCb is an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), dedicated to the study of b-hadron physics. The Vertex Locator (VELO) is a sub-detector which reconstructs primary and secondary vertices, which is of importance for the processes under study. It is a silicon micro-strip detector operated in
