Description

This overview presents the current status of the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker, including results from the latest data-taking periods in autumn 2009 and spring 2010, and from the detector alignment. We report on the operation of the detector and observed problems. The main emphasis is given to the performance of the SCT with the LHC in collision mode, in a comparison with the expected parameters and with the Monte Carlo simulations.
