| Description | We made great progress in the development in the UK deliverables for the ATLAS ITk Upgrade. The main contributions of the Oxford group include: 1. Construction of Prototype modules for the ITk Pixels 2. Production QA/QC procedures developed 3. Production assembly tooling and procedures completed for pre-production 4. CAD model of stave core geometry and all parts drawings 5. Stave core assembly & parts manufacture tooling 6. Stave core thermo-mechanical testing network 7. Manufacture & testing of staves 8. Stave Manufacture and Testing Plan 9. Preparations completed for production of cores 10.Production of final prototype cores 11. Modules mounted on first final prototype stave 12. Strip barrel global structure design (incl. interlinks) These findings will be the foundation of the ITk construction. |
| Exploitation Route | Our finding will benefit the development of future detector operating in hadron colliders and for medical applications |
