| Results and Impact | I lead the international design and development effort for the endcap pixel detector structures ("mechanics") for the ATLAS ITk, the planned 2025 upgrade to the inner tracking portion of ATLAS. My team of about 60 physicists, engineers and technicians from the UK, Italy and Russia have designed an elegant and performant system of ring-shaped supports and services (cooling, power, and readout) and are currently proving the design with prototypes and undergoing intensive design reviews. In June of 2019 all the people involved in the project met in Edinburgh to compare and share manufacturing techniques for the support structures, and to coordinate the design of different components of of the electrical services and cooling infrastructure, some of which are being developed in the UK and some of which are being developed in Italy. |

| Results and Impact | I lead the international design and development effort for the endcap pixel detector structures ("mechanics") for the ATLAS ITk, the planned 2025 upgrade to the inner tracking portion of ATLAS. My team of about 40 physicists, engineers and technicians from the UK and Italy have designed an elegant and performant system of ring-shaped supports and services (cooling, power, and readout) and are currently proving the design with prototypes. In February of 2019 a group of us met in Genoa to compare and share manufacturing techniques for the support structures, and to coordinate the design of different components of of the electrical services, some of which are being developed in the UK and some of which are being developed in Italy. It was particularly use to take our UK engineers along and have them do hands-on work in the labs at Genoa together with the Italian engineers and technicians. |

My team of about 40 physicists, engineers and technicians from the UK and Italy have designed an elegant and performant system of ring-shaped supports and services (cooling, power, and readout) and are currently proving the design with prototypes. We are also developing detailed production and assembly procedures. In June of 2018 we met in Milan to exchange ideas and present the recent progress, current status and plans for the individual R&D projects which, taken together, form the whole project. A particularly important outcome of this workshop was a detailed plan for the Preliminary Design Review which we passed at CERN in September 2018, enabling us to carry on to the final design stage. |
