Title: Tests of Silicon detectors for the ATLAS detector upgrade Author: Vít König Department: Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Zdeněk Doležal, Dr., IPNP Abstract: This thesis is focused on the testing of prototypes of strip silicon detectors for the modernization of ATLAS detector on ATLAS Upgrade. These tests take place at the Department of Silicon Detectors at the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics. The main focus of this work is the description of tests of Front-end parameters of the detector using the calibration charge and laser. The first chapter of this thesis briefly describes, how the experiment in particle physics works, and summarizes the basic facts about the ATLAS detector and its upgrading. The second chapter describes the physical properties of semiconductors that are needed to understand the principle of particle detection by silicon detectors. It also describes how to read and process information from the detector. The third and fourth chapters describe the testing of FE parameters of the detector, done itself by the author of this work. Conclusions from these measurements will serve to further tests of strip silicon detectors for ATLAS Upgrade. Keywords: ATLAS Upgrade, laser tests, Front-end elektronic, strip silicon detector
Tests of Semiconductor Detectors for ATLAS Upgrade

Together with the planned upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, a lot of experiments on the LHC will have to be improved as well. This is also the case of the ATLAS experiment. This thesis focuses on laser testing of silicon strip detectors which will be part of the Inner Tracker in the improved ATLAS Upgrade experiment. The first two parts of the thesis describe the ATLAS Up- grade experiment and summarise the basic theory behind silicon strip detectors. The third and the main part of the thesis is dedicated to experimental part of my work, which consisted of the actual laser testing of silicon strip detectors. The fourth chapter discusses the results of my measurements. All the tests presented in this thesis were performed in the laboratory of the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics in Prague. Besides having performed the measurements of de- tection properties of strip detectors, several ROOT macros for automatization of these measurements were written.
