LHCb is a particle physics experiment operating at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is the world's leading physics experiment in its field and has a unique capability to explore physics beyond the Standard Model. LHCb's main aim is to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model through precision tests of matter anti-matter asymmetries (CP violation) and rare decays of particles containing beauty and charm quarks. The experiment also has world-class programmes in other areas due to its unique design and coverage of an angular region closer to the beams that at the other main LHC experiments. The opportunity now exists to dramatically increase the reach of LHCb's programme and to widen its physics profile. The UK groups propose to lead the upgrade of the VELO (Vertex Locator), the most precise vertex detector at the LHC, and LHCb's unique RICH (Ring Imaging Cherenkov) particle identification (PID) system. A programme of physics performance studies, computing, reconstruction software and trigger algorithm development, and involvement in a new scintillating fibre tracker complements this work.

LHCB是在CERN的大型强子对撞机（LHC）上运行的粒子物理实验。它是世界领域领先的物理实验，具有独特的能力，可以探索超出标准模型的物理学。 LHCB的主要目的是通过对物质反物质不对称（CP违规）的精确测试以及含有美丽和魅力夸克的颗粒的罕见衰变来搜索标准模型以外的新物理。该实验在其他领域还具有世界一流的计划，因为它的独特设计和覆盖了靠近其他主要LHC实验的光束的角区域。现在，现在有机会大大提高LHCB计划的影响力并扩大其物理概况。英国小组建议领导Velo（顶点定位器）的升级，LHC上最精确的顶点检测器以及LHCB独特的富含（RING Imaging Cherenkov）粒子识别（PID）系统。一项物理性能研究，计算，重建软件和触发算法开发以及参与新的闪烁光纤跟踪器的计划。
