ATLAS Upgrade Strip Modules Assembly Workshop

November 2010

The Liverpool Semicondutor Centre Cleanroom Facility

This webpage contains pictures and links to video clips taken at the instruction session for assembling ATLAS SCT Upgrade Strip Sensor Modules. The aim of these videos and pictures is to illustrate the use of the various jigs, templates as used in the assembly procedure, and the procedure itself.
The hybrid assembly procedure is detailed below, pictures and videos of the module assembly can be found here.
