“…At the center, a loss of approximately 15% in collected charge is observed. The p-in-n and two strips in irradiated detectors has been reported in test beams of the ATLAS SCT [20]. From this, it is evident that a sizeable part of the drop in collected charge of the irradiated sensors is due to loss of charge when the track has an interstrip position between 0.2 and 0.8, where a 10-15% loss in charge is seen.…”

The LHCb experiment is preparing for a major upgrade in 2018-2019. One of the key components in the upgrade is a new silicon tracker situated upstream of the analysis magnet of the experiment. The Upstream Tracker (UT) will consist of four planes of silicon strip detectors, with each plane covering an area of about 2 m 2 . An important consideration of these detectors is their performance after they have been exposed to a large radiation dose. In this article we present test beam results of pre-prototype n-in-p and p-in-n sensors that have been irradiated with fluences up to 4.0 × 10 14 n eq /cm 2 . Published in Nucl. Instrum. Meth. A. c CERN on behalf of the LHCb collaboration, licence CC-BY-4.0. arXiv:1506.00229v4 [physics.ins-det] 5 Nov 2015 ii

“…For fully-depleted modules, the average shift in collected charge is approximately 30 µm for the Pixel Detector and 10 µm for the SCT, in both cases not negligible with respect to the detector resolution and alignment precision. Measurements of the Lorentz angle for the ATLAS sensors have already been performed in test beams [38,46], but in conditions different from the actual operation in ATLAS.…”

The ATLAS Inner Detector is a composite tracking system consisting of silicon pixels, silicon strips and straw tubes in a 2 T magnetic field. Its installation was completed in August 2008 and the detector took part in data-taking with single LHC beams and cosmic rays. The initial detector operation, hardware commissioning and insitu calibrations are described. Tracking performance has been measured with 7.6 million cosmic-ray events, collected using a tracking trigger and reconstructed with modular pattern-recognition and fitting software. The intrinsic hit efficiency and tracking trigger efficiencies are close to 100%. Lorentz angle measurements for both electrons and holes, specific energy-loss calibration and transition radiation turn-on measurements have been performed. Different alignment techniques have been used to reconstruct the detector geometry. After the initial alignment, a transverse impact parameter resolution of 22.1 ± 0.9 µm and a relative momentum resolution σ p /p = (4.83 ± 0.16) ×

The ATLAS SCT: Commissioning experience and SLHC upgrade

The ATLAS Semiconductor Tracker (SCT) has been installed, and fully connected to electrical, optical and cooling services. Commissioning has been performed both with calibration data and cosmic ray events. The cosmics were used to align the detector, measure the hit efficiency and set the timing. The SCT is now ready to take data when the LHC turns on this autumn. At the same time, it is clear that the present ATLAS tracker will need to be renewed for projected luminosity upgrade of the LHC, the SLHC. This is mainly driven by occupancy and radiation hardness issues. The new tracker will likely be entirely made of silicon, with the space of the present SCT largely taken up by detectors with much shorter strips. Several large-scale R&D projects on the sensors and module concepts for this upgrade are running, including sensor and module prototyping. We will report upon the commissioning experience from the SCT, use it to extract valuable lessons for future silicon tracker projects, and give an up-to-date overview of the status and results of the R&D efforts for the ATLAS tracker upgrade.
