Description

The current Inner Detector of the ATLAS experiment is to be replaced with the all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk) to satisfy more demanding performance requirements during the High-Luminosity LHC runs. The performance of ATLAS ITk strip module prototypes has been extensively evaluated using high-energy particle beams and, complementary to the measurements, full simulations of the experimental setup have been carried out using the Allpix-Squared framework.

This contribution focuses on comparison of key performance metrics of strip detectors obtained using Allpix-Squared simulations and test beam measurements at the DESY II test beam facility. The effect of the particle beam impacting the tested module at non-perpendicular angles is also explored and discussed.
