The ATLAS ITk strip detector system for the Phase-II LHC upgrade

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ATLAS is currently preparing for the HL-LHC upgrade, with an all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk) that will replace the current Inner Detector. The ITk will feature a pixel detector surrounded by a strip detector, with the strip system consisting of four Barrel layers and six endcap disks. After completion of final design reviews in key areas, such as Sensors, Modules, Front-End electronics and ASICs , a large scale prototyping program has been completed successfully. We present an overview of the Strip System, and highlight the final design choices of sensors, modules and ASICs . We will summarise results achieved during prototyping and the current status of production and pre-production on various detector components, with an emphasis on QA and QC procedures.
