A Setup for Testing of Silicon Pixel Modules for the ITk Tracker in the ATLAS Experiment at CERN

Abstract

New pixel sensors will be installed to the new Inner Tracker upgrade at the ATLAS detector. These sensor will have higher radiation tolerance than the ones currently on the Inner Detector. This thesis will concentrate on development of a test setup dedicated to testing the new pixel sensors. The Peltier Controller Temperature Monitor has been developed for this purpose. IV-curve measurements have also been done on RD53A sensor modules. The Peltier Controller Temperature Monitor has been successfully used in stage 1 qualification test of module testing in the University of Bergen. The Peltier Controller has also been proven to work quite well.
