Description

The increased luminosity of the HL-LHC will require more channels in the upgraded ATLAS Tracker, as a result of the finer detector segmentation. Thus, an upgraded and more efficient HV biasing of the sensors will also be needed and is among the many technological challenges facing the ATLAS Tracker Upgrade. A number of approaches, including the sharing of the same HV line among several sensors and suitable HV switches, along with their control circuitry are currently being investigated for this purpose. The proposed solutions along with latest test results and measurements will be described
