Description
Silicon detectors are at the heart of the ATLAS experiment and play a crucial role in physics program pursued at the LHC. They used for precision position tracking and momentum reconstruction as well as particle identification. I will discuss the ATLAS detector with special emphasis on silicon tracking technology, front-end electronics, and the challenges in detector design for the LHC environment.
