The calorimeter and muon systems are essential components to provide a trigger for the LHCb experiment. The calorimeter system comprises a Scintillating Pad Detector and Pre-Shower, followed by electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters. The calorimeter system allows photons, electrons and hadrons to be identified, and their energy to be measured. The muon system consists of five measuring stations equipped with Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPCs) and triple-Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors, separated by iron filters. It allows the muons identification and transverse momentum measurement. The status of the two systems and their expected performance is presented. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The calorimeter and muon systems are essential components to provide a trigger for the LHCb experiment. The calorimeter system comprises a Scintillating Pad Detector and Pre-Shower, followed by electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters. The calorimeter system allows photons, electrons and hadrons to be identified, and their energy to be measured. The muon system consists of five measuring stations equipped with Multi-Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPCs) and triple-Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors, separated by iron filters. It allows the muons identification and transverse momentum measurement. The status of the two systems and their expected performance is presented. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
