چکیده
Several prototypes of the Transition Radiation Tracker for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC have been built and tested at the CERN SPS accelerator. Results from detailed studies of the straw-tube hit registration efficiency and drifttime measurements and of the pion and electron spectra without and with radiators are presented. r 2004 Elsevier B.V.

High Rate Photon Irradiation Test of an 8-Plane ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker Sector Prototype
In this document we report the results from a high rate photon irradiation test of an ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker 8-plane endcap sector prototype with 192 straws instrumented with near to final front-end electronics. Data was taken at the CERN X5 Gamma Irradiation Facility with a Cs photon source, and at the Weizmann Institute irradiation facility in Israel with a Gammabeam 150 Co source...
متن کاملHadron beam test of a scintillating fibre tracker system for elastic scattering and luminosity measurement in ATLAS
A scintillating fibre tracker is proposed to measure elastic proton scattering at very small angles in the ATLAS experiment at CERN. The tracker will be located in so-called Roman Pot units at a distance of 240 m on each side of the ATLAS interaction point. An initial validation of the design choices was achieved in a beam test at DESY in a relatively low energy electron beam and using slow off...
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 کاملRadiation Hardness Studies of the Front-end ASICs for the Optical Links of the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker
Studies have been performed on the effects of radiation on ASICs incorporating bipolar npn transistors in the AMS 0.8 μm BiCMOS process. Radiation effects are reviewed and the approach used to achieve radiation tolerant ASICs is described. The radiation tests required to validate the ASICs for use in the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are discussed. The results demonstrate tha...
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...
