Project

ATLAS TRT/IT

Project Leader: A.Catinaccio

We have, over the past 10 years, fully engineered and developed the ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT); a detector based on proportional straw tubes.

We had major responsibilities on the design and calculation, development, prototyping, testing, procurement, production tooling and methods, final assembly, installation and commissioning of both TRT End Caps and on a large part of the TRT barrel.

Our team, with Andrea Catinaccio as Project Engineer of the ATLAS Inner Detector(ID), was also responsible for the integration and installation of the whole ID in 2006 and 2007, at the heart of the ATLAS experiment.
