Abstract:A: For the high luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider to start operation around 2026, a major upgrade of the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) is in preparation. Thanks to their low power dissipation and high charge-collection efficiency after irradiation, thin planar pixel modules are the baseline option to instrument all, except for the innermost layer of the pixel detector. To optimise the sensor layout for a pixel cell size of 50 × 50 µm 2 , TCAD simulations are being performed. Charge-collection efficienc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
