Description
The LHCb detector is set to undergo a significant upgrade during the
upcoming long shutdown 4 of the LHC. This upgrade will result in
a nearly tenfold increase in instantaneous luminosity, reaching $1.5
\times 10^{34} c m^{-2} s^{-1}$, with an integrated luminosity expected
to rise from $50 f b^{-1}$ to $300 f b^{-1}$. To effectively handle
the elevated track densities, the downstream tracking stations will employ
silicon pixel sensors in the inner region where particle fluences are
highest. The MightyPix ASIC is a Monolithic HV-CMOS sensor based on the
HV-MAPS families MuPix and ATLASPix, specifically designed to meet the
requirements of LHCb. The Mighty Tracker silicon detector will covering
an extensive active area of $18 m^2$ will comprise over $ 2 \times 10^9$
pixels. The first iteration of the chip, along with its features and
design, will be presented. Notable recent advances in the mechanical and
electronic design of the silicon modules will also be shown. Progress on
prototyping developments, which focus on simulation, verification and FPGA
emulation work will be outlined. The latest beam test campaigns have
yielded valuable insights into the radiation performance of precursor
chips of the MightyPix. Noteworthy highlights will be presented,
accompanied by plans in place to maximise the chip's performance.
