Abstract
ATLAS is a multi-purpose particle detector for the LHC and will detect proton collisions with a center of mass energy of 14 TeV. Part of the central inner detector, the Semi-Conductor Tracker (SCT) is assembled and tested. The barrel SCT is composed of 4 layers of silicon strip modules with two sensor layers with 80μm pitch. The high granularity and low noise occupancy (<5×10−4) of the silicon detectors will enable ATLAS to have good tracking and vertex resolution and so a high physics reach.
