The ATLAS detector is one of the 2 general purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It was designed to enable the search for the Higgs boson which gives other particles their mass, and for direct searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
Currently, work is underway to upgrade the ATLAS detector to meet new requirements such as higher luminosity in the context of the phase II LHC upgrade currently scheduled for 2025. A major part of this detector upgrade will be the replacement of the current Inner Detector with an all-Silicon tracker. The biggest component of this replacement will be a new Silicon strip system. I will describe the current development work within the UK on the mechanics of the future barrel strip detector, in particular the design, prototyping and testing of the barrel strip stave assembly, stave mounting and global structure. FEA studies on global and local structure behaviour of various components, and CFD studies on understanding the temperature distribution inside the barrel and at the EOS region will be presented and some testing results from ESPI system will also be presented.
The Oxford ATLAS Group is one of the largest high-energy physics groups in the UK. We contribute actively to physics analyses, detector performance studies/improvements, computing, database development and detector running and R&D within the ATLAS collaboration.
