✦ Synopsis

The LHCb experiment aims to measure CP violation and rare B-decays. For this, a tracking system is constructed consisting of a silicon micro-strip vertex locator close to the interaction point, and tracking detectors around a dipole magnet. The resulting tracking performance is estimated from simulation to yield 95% efficiency. The momentum and impact parameter resolutions vary between 0.35% and 0.5%, and 20 and 160 mm, respectively.

The ATLAS muon spectrometer consists of three layers of precision drift-tube chambers in an average toroidal magnetic field of 0.4 T. Muon tracks are reconstructed with 97% efficiency and a momentum resolution of better than 10% for transverse momenta up to 1 TeV=c. The latter requires misalignment
