Description

The ATLAS Pixel Detector had good performance throughout the first operation of the LHC. During the long shutdown of data taking in 2013 and 2014, the services of the detector have been renovated and a fourth layer of pixels, called Insertable B-Layer (IBL), has been placed around new smaller radius beampipe. The new layer is closer to the interaction point and has a reduced pixel size. It will mitigate some loss of efficiency of the previous innermost layer when increasing the peak luminosity, scheduled to reach 2×1034 cm−2 s−1. The modules production has been completed in the first months of 2014. An overview of the used technologies and the expected performance of the Pixel Detector is presented.
