Radiation-hard optoelectronic data readout for the ATLAS SCT

Conference item

The ATLAS experiment is currently in the final pre-production design phase to allow timely installation at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2005. The sub-systems closest to the interaction point - the tracking detectors, will be subject to significant total radiation dose at high flux. Optical data transmission has been chosen for the Pixel and SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) to both deliver timing and control information to the detector modules and transmit tracking data to the remote counting ...
