Abstract: Following the successful submission of the ATLAS ITk Strip Detector TDR at the beginning of last year, development of the system has continued. With the final chipset expected to become available in the middle of next year and preproduction targeted for the second half of 2019, we are well into the final stages of R&D. I will outline the strip detector, the prototyping which has been done thus far and the plans for delivering the full ITk strip detector in time for HL-LHC, due to start in the middle of 2026. About the speaker: Dr. Craig Sawyer obtained his MSci in Physics at Cambridge University in 2011, with the master project on "Phenomenology of Ultra-Light Higgs Bosons at LHCb", he then obtained DPhil in Particle Physics at Oxford University in 2015 with the thesis on the measurements of vector boson production in association with jets at the LHC using the ATLAS detector, as well as on the pile-up subtraction and suppression for jets in ATLAS. He is currently a detector physicist at STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Activity Coordinator for ATLAS ITk Strip Modules, leading module assembly and prototyping at RAL. He is also working on physics analysis of hadronically decaying diboson resonances, more recently heavy neutral leption searches using displaced vertices.
