The second major upgrade of the LHCb detector, LHCb Upgrade II, will maximise the discovery potential of the High Luminosity LHC by providing unique detection capability. The experiment is designed to exploit the high production rate of heavy flavoured (beauty and charm) particles in LHC collisions, enabling precision searches for physics beyond the Standard Model through loop processes. LHCb Upgrade II builds on the existing infrastructure of the LHCb experiment, with upgrades to all subdetector systems and new elements that will provide capability to resolve particles from different collisions in the same bunch crossing through the use of precision timing information. Data will be recorded at much higher rates than currently possible, leading to a broad and exciting physics programme. This application is for 6 months bridging funding between an R&D phase and a subsequent preconstruction phase of UK work on LHCb Upgrade II. It provides crucial continuity of effort, that is essential for the UK to maintain leadership in the international project. UK effort is focussed on specific, strategic technologies that will enable the physics goals of LHCb Upgrade II to be achieved while also achieving broad impact.

LHCb 探测器的第二次重大升级，即 LHCb Upgrade II，将通过提供独特的探测能力，最大限度地发挥高光度 LHCb 的发现潜力。该实验旨在利用大型强子对撞机碰撞中重口味（美丽和魅力）粒子的高生产率，从而通过循环过程精确搜索超出标准模型的物理现象。 LHCb 升级 II 建立在 LHCb 实验现有基础设施的基础上，对所有子探测器系统和新元件进行了升级，这些新元件将提供通过使用精确计时信息来解析同一束交叉中不同碰撞的粒子的能力。数据记录速度将比目前高得多，从而产生广泛而令人兴奋的物理项目。该申请为期 6 个月，为英国 LHCb 升级 II 工作的研发阶段和后续预施工阶段之间提供过渡资金。它提供了至关重要的努力连续性，这对于英国保持在国际项目中的领导地位至关重要。英国的努力集中在具体的战略技术上，这些技术将使 LHCb 升级 II 的物理目标得以实现，同时产生广泛的影响。
