Description
The current ATLAS Inner Detector will be replaced with the new Inner Tracker (ITk) to cope with the increased track density and corresponding radiation levels at the HL-LHC. The ITk is designed to be an all-silicon tracking detector with a strip detector surrounding the inner pixel detector. The strip tracker will consist of a central barrel detector with four layers and two end-caps. The 19,000 modules required for the full detector will be assembled between 31 module assembling institutes worldwide in 50-54 months. Each module is assembled from a silicon strip sensor and between one and three flexes holding readout electronics in a series of precision assembly and quality control steps.
In preparation for the module production phase, 5% of the module production volume was assembled during module pre-production. This contribution provides an overview of the results from the ATLAS ITk strip tracker pre-production phase and selected issues discovered in the process.
