The SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) data acquisition (DAQ) system will calibrate, configure, and control the approximately six million front-end channels of ATLAS silicon strip detector. It provide a synchronized bunch-crossing clock to modules, communicate first-level triggers chips, transfer information about hit strips high-level trigger system. has been used extensively for calibration quality assurance during SCT barrel endcap assembly performance confirmation tests after transport barrels...
The completion of Run 1 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has seen discovery Higgs boson and an unprecedented number precise measurements Standard Model, 2 begun to provide first data higher energy. high-luminosity upgrade LHC (HL-LHC) four experiments (ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, LHCb) will exploit full potential collider discover explore new physics beyond Model. We review experimental challenges opportunities in proton–proton collisions HL-LHC.
The ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) is one of the largest existing semiconductor detectors. It situated between Pixel detector and Transition Radiation at four interaction points Large Hadron Collider (LHC). During 2006-2007 was lowered into cavern installed in its final position. For assembly, integration commissioning phase, a complete Detector Control System (DCS) developed to ensure safe operation tracker. This included control individual powering silicon modules, bi-phase cooling...
This paper describes the design and implementation of grounding shielding system for ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker (SCT). The mitigation electromagnetic interference noise pickup through power lines is critical goal as they have potential to jeopardize electrical performance. We accomplish this by adhering rules, avoiding ground loops isolating different subdetectors. Noise sources are identified rules protect SCT against them described. A rigorous was crucial achieve required highlights...
