Title: ATLAS HL-LHC Tracker Upgrade (ITK)
Abstract: The high luminosity upgrade to the LHC (HL-LHC) is planned to begin collisions in 2026. Its targeted integrated luminosity of 3000 fb-1 will open exciting opportunities for great discovery. For HL-LHC operations, all experiments will have to replace their tracking detectors to cope with the larger charge particle densities, the higher amount of pile up collisions and the intense particle fluences expected.
In this presentation, I will describe the ATLAS tracker upgrade (ITK), focusing on the strip system. A study which determined the optimal sensor material and geometry will be presented. The design and development of thin, mass-producible readout hybrids and detector modules will be shown. The potential for CMOS-based sensors for future tracking detectors will be described. Finally, the current status of the strip project will be discussed.
