Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN is investigating the difference between matter and antimatter through the study of particles containing a beauty quark. The LHCb experiment has almost completed the upgrade of its detectors, including the installation of a new silicon pixel detector around the proton-proton collision region. In 2022 this new vertex locator (VELO) detector will be commissioned for data taking. An important aspect of the commissioning activities is the understanding of the electronic noise of the individual pixels and a fine-tuning of the operational settings to equalise the performance of all pixels. This thesis studies the reproducibility of this equalisation process, comparing scans taken both consecutively and separated in time. In both cases, a compatibility is obtained, with some isolated anomalies in two of the the VELO ASICs.
