ATLAS Inner Tracker Performance at the beginning of the LHC Run - 2 . ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
The ATLAS experiment performs studies of proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The Inner Detector is a part of the ATLAS apparatus placed nearest the interaction point, designed to measure charged particles momenta and their trajectories, and to reconstruct vertices of decays of physics objects created in collisions. During the LHC technical stop 2013-2015, the Inner Detector underwent several upgrades and improvements, most notably an additional Pixel Detector layer was installed. This document describes the improvements done in the Inner Detector and its combined performance in the first year of data taking after the LHC restart in 2015.

The ATLAS FTK system: how to improve the physics potential with a tracking trigger
After a very successful data taking run, the ATLAS experiment is being upgraded to cope with the higher luminosity and higher center of mass energy that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will provide in the next years. The Fast Tracker (FTK) trigger system, part of the ATLAS trigger upgrade program, is a highly parallel hardware device processor based on a mixture of advanced technologies. FTK pr...
متن کاملJet reconstruction and performance using particle flow with the ATLAS Detector
This paper describes the implementation and performance of a particle flow algorithm applied to 20.2 fb−1 of ATLAS data from 8 TeV proton–proton collisions in Run 1 of the LHC. The algorithm removes calorimeter energy deposits due to charged hadrons from consideration during jet reconstruction, instead using measurements of their momenta from the inner tracker. This improves the accuracy of the...
متن کاملATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT): Straw Tubes for Tracking and Particle Identification at the Large Hadron Collider
The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) is the outermost of the three inner detector tracking subsystems and consists of ∼300000 thin-walled drift tubes (“straw tubes”) that are 4 mm in diameter. The TRT system provides ∼30 space points with ∼130 micron resolution for charged tracks with |η| < 2 and pT > 0.5 GeV/c. The TRT also provides electron identification capability by detecting trans...
متن کاملSilicon strip detectors for ATLAS at the HL-LHC upgrade
The present ATLAS silicon strip tracker (SCT) and transition radiation tracker (TRT) are to be replaced with new silicon strip detectors as part of the inner tracker system (ITK) for the Phase-II upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider, HL-LHC. We have carried out intensive R&D programs based on n-on-p microstrip detectors to fabricate improved radiation hard strip detectors that can survive the r...
متن کاملATLAS Upgrade for the Super LHC Meeting the challenges of a ten-fold increase in collisions
With the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) about to start collisions, plans are already advancing for an upgrade. In this super-LHC (sLHC) project, about ten times the LHC luminosity in some 8 years from now is aimed. Coping with the high instantaneous and integrated luminosity will require many changes to the ATLAS detector. The designs are developing rapidly for an all-new inner-tracker, big change...
