The ATLAS Pixel Detector is the innermost layer of the ATLAS tracking system
and will contribute significantly to the ATLAS track and vertex reconstruction.
The detector consists of identical sensor-chip-hybrid modules, arranged in
three barrels in the centre and three disks on either side for the forward
region.
The position of the pixel detector near the interaction point requires
excellent radiation hardness, mechanical and thermal robustness, good long-term
stability, all combined with a low material budget. The pre-production phase of
such pixel modules has nearly finished, yielding fully functional modules.
Results are presented of tests with these modules.Comment: Poster at the XXIII Physics in Collisions Conference (PIC03),
