The ATLAS Pixel Detector is an 80 M channels silicon tracking system designed to detect charged tracks and secondary vertices with very high precision. An upgrade is presently being considered for the ATLAS Pixel Detector, enabling to cope with higher luminosity at Super-LHC (SLHC).
Options considered for a new detector are discussed, as well as some important R\&D activities, such as...

The material budget inside the sensitive tracking volume is highly dependent on the dissipated power for data transmission. It is therefore important to have a very low power serial data link, that allows to transmit digital data over short distances within the tracking volume. Such a low power ohmic data transmission through micro-twisted transmission lines aims for a transmission speed of ...

The upgrade of luminosity of the LHC (SLHC) will necessitate changing the ATLAS tracker. The new fully silicon tracker will contain pixel layers, short-strip layers and long-strip layers. The silicon strip detector will be organized in staves or super-modules. The readout electronics will follow this organization and be based on front-end ICs, module controllers and super-module controllers....

The increased luminosity at the SLHC and associated increases in occupancy and radiation levels present severe challenges for the CMS tracker, which will require complete replacement. Inner pixellated regions will expand to higher radii and the outer tracker region will most likely be instrumented with short strip silicon sensors. It is also necessary for the tracker to provide information to...

The upgrade of the LHC towards higher luminosity needs to be matched by an upgrade of the detector performance. In the case of the ATLAS Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) detectors, higher luminosity will result in increased neutron and gamma background rates leading to a reduction of spatial resolution and tracking efficiency as well as to an increase of the required readout bandwidth. In the...
