Description
During the LHC Phase 2 upgrade, the CMS Tracker will be upgraded to meet the performance demands of High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). This presentation focuses on the realisation and technical decisions of the Tracker Barrel Pixel (TBPX), which has recently reached production phase. To start, it will be presented the current status of the prototypes and first final layers produced, followed by an updated overview of the production workflow. Special emphasis is placed on the most time consuming and complex assembly operations.
We then detail the technical solutions and precision tooling developed to overcome these challenges, optimizing both assembly time and mechanical accuracy.
Furthermore, we discuss the integration strategy, explaining the layer-by-layer assembly process required to complete a full TBPX quarter. Finally, we present the Quality Control methods, ranging from individual component testing to full-assembly validation—ensuring the system is fully qualified for the next decade of operations.
