Detector Seminar
Assembly and Integration of the ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker

Description
The ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker (SCT) will be a central part of the tracking system of the ATLAS experiment and is one of the major new silicon detector systems for LHC. The final system comprises 4088 individual detector modules with 16000 silicon wafers and 6 million readout channels. It is currently being assembled as part of the ATLAS Inner Detector Integration effort at LHC point 1.
After a brief overview of the SCT detector system and results from the completed module production, the presentation will focus on the system integration of the SCT. As part of the Inner Detector Integration this work is carried out in the ATLAS SR1 cleanroom, which is the main facility for the integration of the SCT, TRT and Pixel detectors as well as for the final Inner Detector assembly. It has been equipped with a silicon test system, which can characterize up to 1 million readout channels simultaneously and can give us operational experience for the detector and its supply and readout system as installed in the pit.
The presentation will describe the integration sequence of the SCT starting from the assembly of modules to structures, through the tests of completed barrel and endcap sections to the final assembly into the Inner Detector Tracking System. Particular attention will be given to the recent test of a fully completed barrel layer in SR1. The test provided us with operational experience for a significant fraction of the full detector. The preliminary results serve to illustrate the likely overall performance of the silicon strip detector system. The presentation will conclude with an outline of this year's work program to complete the SCT and integrate it into the Inner Detector before the installation in the pit.
