DESCRIPTION:Professor Aurelio Bay\n"Comment réaliser un détecteur de par
 ticules de précision"\nLHCb is one of the experiments which use the colli
 sions of beams in one of the interaction regions of the LHC accelerator at
  CERN. Its mission is an attempt to answer questions of fundamental physic
 s\, such as the problem of matter-antimatter asymmetry in our Universe and
  the origin of dark matter. The LHCb Collaboration has 1\,200 members from
  73 institutes in 16 countries around the world. The Lausanne group is one
  of the founding members of LHCb. The purpose of this presentation is to s
 how in a simple (but by no means exhaustive) way how such an instrument ca
 n be built for precision measurements.\n\nBiography\nAurelio Bay was a Pro
 fessor at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) from 1994 to 2003 and then at 
 EPFL from 2003 to 2020. He has been the thesis director of 27 PhDs. He was
  vice-dean of the UNIL Faculty of Sciences and actively participated in th
 e implementation of the project which resulted in the transfer\nof the Che
 mistry\, Mathematics and Physics Sections from UNIL to EPFL. He was direct
 or of the UNIL College of Sciences from 2015 to 2020. An experimental high
 -energy physicist\, he has taken part in several experiments in Switzerlan
 d at PSI and CERN (L3\, LHCb\, SND)\, in Japan (Belle)\, and in the United
  States (TPC/2γ). Director of the High Energy Physics Laboratory from 199
 8 to 2020\, the laboratory is a founding member of the LHCb experiment wit
 h important responsibilities in its construction as well as in the exploit
 ation of data. He was a member of the working group for the creation of th
 e Swiss Particle Physics Institute (CHIPP).
