- The ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) is a silicon-strip tracking detector which forms part of the ATLAS inner detector. The SCT is designed to track charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN at an energy of 14 TeV. The tracker is made up of a central barrel and two identical end-caps. The barrel contains 2112 silicon modules, while each end-cap contains 988 modules. The overall tracking performance depends not only on the intrinsic measurement precision of the modules but also on the characteristics of the whole assembly, in particular, the stability and the total material budget. This paper describes the engineering design and construction of the SCT end-caps, which are required to support mechanically the silicon modules, supply services to them and provide a suitable environment within the inner detector. Critical engineering choices are highlighted and innovative solutions are presented - these will be of interest to other builders of large-scale tracking detectors. The SCT end-caps will be fully connected at the start of 2008. Further commissioning will continue, to be ready for proton-proton collision data in 2008.

- © 2019 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved. Within the EUROfusion MST1 work package, a series of experiments has been conducted on AUG and TCV devices to disentangle the role of plasma fueling and plasma shape for the onset of small ELM regimes. On both devices, small ELM regimes with high confinement are achieved if and only if two conditions are fulfilled at the same time. Firstly, the plasma density at the separatrix must be large enough (ne,sep/nG ∼ 0.3), leading to a pressure profile flattening at the separatrix, which stabilizes type-I ELMs. Secondly, the magnetic configuration has to be close to a double null (DN), leading to a reduction of the magnetic shear in the extreme vicinity of the separatrix. As a consequence, its stabilizing effect on ballooning modes is weakened.

- In the year 2022 an upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is planned to increase the luminosity such that an integrated luminosity of L-int similar to 3000 fb(-1) can be accumulated by 2030 [1]. The radiation damage of the present inner tracker at this date and the high track density of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) require an upgrade of the inner tracker of the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) experiment. A new integration concept will be used: the readout electronics is directly glued on the strip surface of the silicon sensors and the sensors are glued to a support structure. For the barrel region this structure is referred to as a Stave and for the end-cap region it is referred to as a Petal. For tests a smaller version, the Petalet, will be build with two design concepts. In this article the construction method is explained and first hybrid test results for one Petalet sensor are presented.
