ATLAS Inner detector

Inner detector

Introduction

Our lab takes part in the preparation and construction of the SCT (Semiconductor Tracker) of the ATLAS Inner Detector.
Silicon strip detectors are used to detect the passage of particles from high energy proton collisions at the centre of the ATLAS detector. These detectors together with hybrids and readout chips are assembled into a module.

Activities

(these items currently contain many links to CERN and other institutes, but there is an intention to include here more Prague-specific contents)

Module testing and QA (Our group's commitment within SCT collaboration is to test assembled modules before they are being put on the discs)

Principles of module testing (purpose, test specifications - P.W. Phillips's document)
Plans (Z. Dolezal's talk at NIKHEF)

Forward hybrid development (together with Freiburg),
Beam tests at CERN and KEK

trigger system at CERN SPS H8 beam designed and manufactured by our group (talk at CERN SCT Week (May 2000), manual)
measurement
data analysis (Peter Kodys's page)

Module assembly (together with MPI Munich)
