Abstract
The successful physics program of the LHC Run-1 data taking period has put a strong emphasis on design studies for future upgrades of the existing LHC detectors. In ATLAS, testing alternative layouts through the full simulation and reconstruction chain is a work-intensive program, which can only be carried out for a few concept layouts.To facilitate layout prototyping, a novel technique based on the ATLAS reconstruction geometry and a fast simulation engine have been established that allow fast layout iterations and a realistic but fast Monte Carlo simulation. This approach is extended by a fast digitisation and reconstruction module.
Highlights
With the first long shotdown (LS1) ending and Run-2 of the LHC data taking starting, the LHC experiments shift part of their focus to detector upgrade
The TrkDetElementBase is the base class for all tracking detector elements with methods for reading out all relevant information, extended by the geometry description implemented in GeoModel
A new technique for building custom tracking geometry has been developed reading the detector description from XML configuration files removing any dependence on GeoModel libraries
