About
UK Research & Innovation awarded a contract to Cavendish Technical Services for the supply of precision tools used in the assembly of ATLAS Inner Tracker modules.
The ATLAS detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider is undergoing an upgrade, and the UKRI ATLAS group is contributing to the construction of a new silicon strip tracker.
This tracker consists of silicon strip sensor modules arranged in precise expanding shells around a central beamline, with each module assembled through manual steps across multiple UK production sites.
The tools support the high precision required for alignment and tracking within the detector.
The contract value was £130,813.85.
