Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment (LHCb) at CERN is aimed to study flavor-physics.The Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector system (RICH), which provides particle identification, have been operating successfully since 2010.During the second Long Shutdown of the LHC of 2019-2020, the RICH detectors will be upgraded to maintain the excellent PID performance with a five-fold increase of instantaneous luminosity.In addition, the detector will be readout at the full LHC bunch-crossing rate of 40 MHz using a flexible software based trigger.To cope with that changes the current hybrid photon detectors will be replaced by Hamamatsu R13472 multi-anode photomultipliers (MaPMT) with external brand new frontend electronics.The new photodetectors and the associated electronics have been subjected to calibration procedures.The high-voltage working point determination, relative efficiency measurements of MaPMT pixels and their calibration procedure for the RICH detector system will be presented.
