Abstract
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 $1.5
\times 10^{34}\mathrm{cm^2s^{-1}}$, with an integrated luminosity expected to rise
from 50 $ \mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ to 300 $ \mathrm{fb^{-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 $\mathrm{m^2}$ will comprise over $ 2 \times 10^9$
pixels. The first iteration of the chip, along with its features and
design are presented. Notable recent advances in the mechanical and
electronic design of the silicon modules are also shown. Progress on
prototyping developments, which focus on simulation, verification and
FPGA emulation work are outlined. The latest beam test campaigns have
yielded valuable insights into the radiation performance of precursor
chips of the MightyPix. Noteworthy highlights are presented, accompanied
by plans in place to maximise the chip's performance.
