Description

For the High-Luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) the ATLAS detector will undergo a series of upgrades to cope with the increased number of proton interactions and harsher radiation environment. One of the key projects in this suite of upgrades is the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) and its pixel detector, which will have unprecedented granularity and number of channels, that require extreme bandwidth of O(100 TB) for data readout. In this talk we present the so-called Optosystem, which performs the electrical-to-optical conversion of signals from the pixel modules. The key components, the Optoboards are housed in Optoboxes contained in 8 Optopanels located on the ITk endplates. The system is entirely designed and build in Bern. We show the design, testing and production of the system and recent results related to the performance tests of prototypes operating in a full data transmission chain.

Limited flash talk slots I would present a poster instead.
