Abstract

The ATLAS pixel detector is an 80 M channels silicon tracking system designed to detect charged tracks and secondary vertices with very high precision. To verify that the integrated assembly will perform as expected after installation into the experimental area, a fraction (10%) of the detector and the requested services have been assembled and operated in a laboratory setting. We refer to this as system testing, and results of these tests will be presented. All the aspects of the system test will be illustrated, including the detector control and safety system, the monitoring system and the DAQ system, the techniques for calibrating the detector and the analysis of noise tests and cosmic data.
