LHCb VELO software alignment, Part III: the alignment of the relative sensor positions

Instrumentation and Detectors 2008-07-23 v1

Abstract

The LHCb Vertex Locator contains 42 silicon sensor modules. Each module has two silicon sensors. A method for determining the relative alignment of the silicon sensors within each module from data is presented. The software implementation details are discussed. Monte-Carlo simulation studies are described that demonstrate an alignment precision of 1.3 micron is obtained in the sensor plane.
