Abstract

LHCb experiment operates a forward spectrometer that collects proton‐ proton collision data at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. During the so-called Long Shutdown 2 period in years 2018‐2019, LHCb detector will undergo a major modernisation. A vital part of this upgrade process is building a silicon micro-strip tracking detector — Upstream Tracker (UT) — that will be placed before the bending magnet. The UT will play a critical role in the upgraded trigger system. This paper contains a general discussion of the UT detector and presents description of a silicon response simulation platform that is being currently designed by the AGH UST LHCb group.
