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: Periods and Calendar
The test beam setup is based on two main components:
- Silicon telescope (so called "Bonn" telescope) with is own DAQ
- 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).
