Simulation and Tests of Strip Semiconductor Detectors for ATLAS Upgrade
Theiner, Ondřej ; Kodyš, Peter (advisor) ; Řezníček, Pavel (referee)
Together with the ongoing works on preparations of High-Luminosity LHC, there is a need to enhance the performance of various experiments on the collider as well. This is also the case of the experiment ATLAS and its subdetectors such as Inner Detector which will be completely replaced by new all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk). This thesis deals with computer simulations of silicon strip detec- tors for ATLAS Upgrade ITk. For this purpose, we are using framework AllPix2 . It enables to simulate everything from the interaction of the particle with silicon, charge propagation in electric and magnetic fields, charge collection, up to signal digitization. We focused mostly on three aspects in the simulations. The first is a precise characterization of used detectors, the second is a simulation of a test beam measurements and the third one is a simulation of test measurements with a radioactive beta source. We also discussed the possibility of simulation of test measurements with a laser. These simulations are important not only because they help us to better understand processes happening inside the detector, but they are also used as a validation of testing measurements. As a result of this, we are able to point out the effects of the experimental setup (or detector itself) which have an impact on measured...
