Introduction:
Two test beam periods are scheduled in 2009 at CERN: May and October. These tests are crucial in view of validating the sensor for the IBL, but also for the SLHC tracker upgrade.
ATLAS TestBeam periods in 2009
- 10-17 Oct. in H6 with the EUDET telescope
- 24-04 Nov. in H8 (depending on if we can switch with ALFA) with the BAT and Morpurgo magnet
- 20-25 Nov. in H6 with the BAT (preliminary)
Official documents: Periods and Calendar
See todo list
The test beam setup is based on two main components:
- Silicon telescope (so called "Bonn" telescope or BAT) with its own DAQ and monitoring. Have integrated the TurboDAQ system.
- 3D assemblies read out by TurboDAQ (1 TurboDAQ per tested board). We shall have at least 3 TurboDAQ available, plus one in the lab (building 161).
