ATLAS Pixel nSQP

Project Leader: M.Capeans

The ATLAS Pixel nSQP (new Services Quarter Panels) project consists of reproducing the Pixel services with few key changes that would add long-term reliability to the operation of the Pixel Detector: the current on-detector optoboards will be replaced by a newly developed electrical readout, and new optoboards will be located at ID End-Plate, facilitating their service.

A full set of new services will be manufactured and possibly installed on the Pixel detector during the next long LHC shutdown (2013/14). The coordination role, mechanical support and quality assurance are project aspects where DT staff is involved.

Current DT staff in the project: B.Brunel, M.Capeans, P.Charra, X.Pons
