Session 1: System Issues
- Gianluigi Casse (University of Liverpool (GB))
An upgrade of the ATLAS detector system is foreseen for the High Luminosity phase of the LHC accelerator (HL-LHC) which will start operations in 2027. The present inner detector will be replaced by a new full-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk) designed to face the challenges posed by the large particle multiplicity and the extreme radiation environment at HL-LHC. The innermost part of the ITk, the...
The Upstream Tracker is a four-layer silicon strip detector positioned upstream of the dipole magnet. It is a key sub-detector for charged particle tracking, capable to provide fast track momentum information, essential for the software based trigger. We will discuss the detector design, based on silicon strip sensors, which features embedded pitch adapters and top-side biasing. The sensors...
Proton induced Ionizing and Non-Ionizing energy loss campaigns are required studies for silicon sensors and electronic devices qualification when designed for medical, space and high energy physics applications.
The Experimental Area of the Trento Proton Therapy Center offers the possibility to perform these studies using a 70-230 MeV proton beam designed for medical treatment of...
For the high luminosity era of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) it is foreseen to replace the current inner tracker of the ATLAS experiment with a new detector to cope with the occurring increase in occupancy, bandwidth and radiation damage. It will consist of an inner pixel and outer strip detector aiming to provide tracking coverage up to |η|<4. The layout of the pixel detector is foreseen...
