Summary

This paper presents initial performance testing of large-format silicon strip sensors developed for the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) strip detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The work forms part of a major detector upgrade programme and characterises prototype sensor functionality against established design requirements. The findings are of specialist interest to the particle physics instrumentation and detector development communities, with no direct application to agricultural, soil health, or nutritional research domains.

UK applicability

This paper has no applicability to UK farming systems, soil health, or nutrition research. It addresses fundamental physics research infrastructure development at an international facility (CERN in Switzerland) and is outside the scope of agricultural and food systems science.

Key measures

Silicon strip sensor performance metrics under design specifications; prototype sensor behaviour and functionality for high-energy physics detection

Outcomes reported

The paper reports performance testing results of prototype large-format silicon strip sensors designed for the ATLAS ITk tracker upgrade. Testing characterised sensor behaviour against design specifications for the particle detector system.
