Description
The ATLAS Pixel Detector is an 80 M channels silicon tracking system
designed to detect charged tracks and secondary vertices with very high
precision. To verify that the integrated
assembly will perform as expected subsequent to installation into the
experimental area, a fraction (10%) of the detector and the requisite ancillary
services has been assembled and operated in a laboratory setting. We
refer to this as system testing, and results from these tests will be presented.
The talk will illustrate all the aspects of the system test,
including the detector control and safety system, the monitoring system and the DAQ
system, the data base technologies used to store the configuration
and condition data, the techniques for calibrating the detector and
the analysis of noise tests and cosmic data.
