| Location: | KIPAC Auditorium |
| Abstract: | After recent announcement of the Higgs discovery, the ATLAS experiment is facing new challenges in measuring its properties in the years to come. Keeping up and increasing performance will depend in major parts on the performance of the tracking system. The talk will outline the installation and commissioning of the innermost tracking detector, the ATLAS Pixel Detector, with particular emphasis on operation. First upgrades in preparation will be presented, the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer (IBL) and the new Service Quarter Panel project, both of which are starting final component tests at CERN. Advantages as well as problems shall be highlighted here. The presentation will conclude on what future detector upgrades should take into consideration at the design stage. |
| Speaker: | Jens Dopke - CERN
 I have studied particle physics at the University of Wuppertal, where I acquired both my diploma with works on the Pixel Detector Data transmission system, as well as my PhD with commisioning of that system and design of the the Insertable B-Layer (IBL) readout system. After my PhD I started a fellowship at CERN, focussed on the new Service Quarter Panel project for the ATLAS Pixel Detector, which aims to replace on-detector electronics on a timescale as short as 2013. My major tasks within this project are system tests, which will soon also include the IBL.
