LHCb Outer Tracker Relocated to GSI for New Research Ventures

The LHCb detector's Outer Tracker (OT), a significant portion of which was constructed by the Dortmund working group, has been transported to the GSI in Darmstadt, Germany. After being replaced by the Scintillating Fibre (SciFi) sub-detector at LHCb, the OT journeyed through France and reached GSI on August 25. It's now set to play a key role in the PANDA detector at the FAIR accelerator facility, furthering research into the enigmatic strong force. The OT's intricate modular design will continue advancing particle research at its new home.
