Tuning of the Silicon microstrip detector (SCT) digitization parameters at ATLAS — •Akanksha Vishwakarma — Humboldt University, Unter den Linden 6, 10099 Berlin, Germany

The increased luminosity of LHC in RUN-2 causes high radiation exposure of the ATLAS detector. This might bring about changes in the detector responses, especially of the pixel and the silicon strip detector. To study this, several digitization parameters are varied in the simulation and are analysed by comparing with data. In particular, the impact on the reconstructed cluster and track is considered. This investigation is used to optimize data-Monte Carlo agreement.
