Description
A new all-silicon tracking detector (ITk) for ATLAS is under construction to meet the demands of the HL-LHC, and updated track reconstruction performance predictions have recently been published by the ATLAS Collaboration. The new detector, designed to operate at an average of up to 200 simultaneous proton–proton interactions, will provide a wider pseudorapidity coverage, an increased granularity and will outperform the current ATLAS Inner Detector. In this contribution the expected performance of the ITk detector will be presented, with emphasis on the improvements in track reconstruction. The expected improvements for downstream domains will also be discussed, such as flavor tagging, electron and photon reconstruction.
Significance
Demonstration of state-of-the-art track reconstruction performance of the ATLAS ITk tracking software in the challenging HL-LHC environment
