The ITk consists of 4 barrel layers and 12 disks of strip modules, and 5 layers of pixel modules. Liverpool has been involved from the earliest design of the overall layout, playing key roles in the detailed module and structure design. Production and testing of vital parts is ongoing in the LSDC, with strip hybrid reception testing, pixel and strip module assembly, carbon fibre structure manufacture (in the Advanced Material Laboratory of the LSDC) and preparations for the integration of one pixel outer endcap. This work involves detailed mechanical assembly and electrical testing at various stages to ensure the quality of the detector produced.
Modules
- Reception testing 10,000 strip hybrids, designed in Liverpool and produced in industry.
- The testing and wirebonding of 3000 hybrids after ASIC loading
- Assembly and electrical testing of ~580 strip barrel modules
- Assembly and electrical testing of ~500 pixel modules
Support Structures
- Production of 100 strip barrel stave cores
- Production and dressing of 6 carbon-fibre half cylinders, ready for cooling and electrical services and carbon fibre half rings with pixel modules mounted on them.
Integration
- The tooling and test infrastructure to assemble one complete pixel endcap detector.
- The assembly of one pixel endcap detector.
