- Radiation-tolerant silicon sensors are an enabling technology for particle physics. The cutting-edge particle tracker at the heart of ATLAS was upgraded in 2014 by inserting a hermetic layer of planar and 3D silicon sensors, mounted on the beryllium beam pipe. The paper signifies the milestone first deployment of game-changing new pixel sensor technologies, developed to survive the extreme radiation environment (5×1015 neq/cm2), fully integrated onto low-mass support structures, with CO2 cooling, and electrical services to readout 12M channels at 40 MHz. The IBL detector has improved the tracking and flavour-tagging performance of ATLAS and enabled hundreds of physics journal publications.
