Description
The ATLAS experiment at LHC is now approaching the end of the
construction phase. In this presentation, I will focus on the ATLAS-TRT
(Transition Radiation Tracker) assembly and its installation in the ATLAS
cavern, which covers the period of the last two years. After an overview of
the TRT detector, I will show the various tests performed during the
”stacking” of the TRT wheels. This concerns mainly the leak tightness of the
piping for the cooling and the active gas, the test of the high voltage
distribution and the checking of the front-end electronics. Then, I show
some results obtained in the combined test of two of the ATLAS trackers
(SCT and TRT), and I conclude with the installation of the TRT in the ATLAS
cavern.
