Description

The planned HL-LHC (High Luminosity LHC) in 2025 will necessitate a complete re-design of the current ATLAS Inner Detector (ID) to become the Inner Tracker (ITk), which will consist of both strip and pixelated silicon detectors.For the Technical Design Review (TDR) for the ITK Strips detector, it was required to show beam test results for a fully irradiated module. Consequently, a fully electrical Barrel Strip module was irradiated at CERN PS to 8x1014 n/eq cm-2, and subsequently characterised at a testbeam in CERN with the ACONITE telescope (an abstract with results will be submitted in a separate abstract in this workshop). This presentation will describe how the irradiation and testbeam campaign was arranged and integrated to achieve results for the TDR. Details will also be given of the challenges for 2017, where the sensor geometry designs of radial strip detectors for the end-cap (forward region) are being integrated into ALLpix and EuTelescope, with the plan of further irradiation and testbeams in 2017.
