DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Craig Sawyer (Science and Technology Facilities Coun
 cil STFC (GB))\n\nThe ATLAS ITk Strip Detector is a key component of the A
 TLAS Phase-II Upgrade for the High Luminosity LHC\, with large-scale produ
 ction now underway worldwide and final delivery to CERN planned for Novem
 ber 2028.  In this seminar\, I will present an insider's view of the unex
 pected technical challenges that have emerged - from the surprising effect
 s that picometer scale vibrations can have on silicon strip modules to th
 e dramatic mechanical failures that can arise from mismatches in thermal e
 xpansion across materials and assemblies.  I will discuss the underlying 
 physics and engineering behind these issues\, how they were diagnosed\, an
 d what alternative design or procedural choices might have mitigated them
 .  Most importantly\, I will consider the broader lessons these experienc
 es offer for future detector projects.\nhttps://cern.zoom.us/j/61585612649
