Project description
R&D work for the construction of 500 detector modules in one endcap of the silicon strip detector of the future ATLAS detector for the high-luminosity LHC. In particular: characterization of Hamamatsu sensors, development of tools to build
modules of the R4/R5-type as well as universally applicable tools for all module types; test whether and where UV-curing
glues can be applied in the module construction, and whether DCDC power boards can be directly placed on the module;
preparation of module mass production.
