Abstract :
LHCb is one of the experiments for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and is dedicated to B-physics and CP-violation measurements. To exploit its physics potential good tracking performance with high efficiency in a high particle density environment close to the beam pipe is required. Silicon strip detectors with large read-out pitch and long strips will be used for the LHCb Inner Tracker behind the magnet and the Trigger Tracker station in front of the magnet. We report here about the design of the Silicon Tracker, test beam results and the electrical tests foreseen during production
