Description

During the LHC Run 1 the LHCb experiment has successfully performed a large number of high precision measurements in heavy flavour physics using 3 $fb^{-1}$ collected at centre-of-mass energies of 7 $TeV$ and 8 $TeV$. In LHC Run 2 the LHCb is expected to integrate an additional 5 $fb^{-1}$ data, however many of the measurements will remain limited by statistics. For this reason LHCb will withstand in 2020 a major upgrade during the Long Shutdown 2 of LHC, with the aim to collect 50 $fb^{-1}$ of data by 2028. To achieve this goal the LHCb detector readout rate will be upgraded from the current 1 $MHz$ to the LHC bunch crossing rate of 40 $MHz$. The luminosity delivered to the experiment will increase of a factor five, up to $2 \cdot 10^{33} cm^{-2} s^{-1}$. The online selection of events will be uniquely performed by a pure software trigger, improving the trigger efficiencies. In order to sustain the increased luminosity and readout rate, all the sub-detectors will be upgraded. The architecture of the upgraded DAQ system and trigger strategy will be presented, as well an overview of the sub-detector upgrades.
