Abstract
The high-luminosity Large Hadron Collider is the flagship project of particle physics for the next decade. To cope with the increased particle density from up to 200 simultaneous proton-proton collisions, both omni-purpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS, plan for a substantial upgrade of their detectors, notably a complete exchange of the tracking system. This project deals with the Slovenian contribution to the ATLAS tracker upgrade, the Inner Tracker (ITk). As part of the ITk, the group is responsible for three distinct work-packages: the beam protection and luminosity measurement system (BCM’) in the inner pixel volume, the procurement and testing of bus tapes for the strip end-cap detector and the radiation QA of the strip sensors.
