Simulating Defects in the ITk Pixel Detector — •Kira Abeling, Timo Dreyer, Jason Veatch, and Stan Lai — Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

Around 2026, the current ATLAS Inner Detector will be replaced by the Inner tracker (ITk) in preparation for the coming higher luminosity of the HL-LHC but also with the higher radiation which can degrade silicon detector performance or disable readout electronics.

This talk presents how defects in the ITk pixel detector are simulated and how these defects affect track reconstruction. Different scenarios are simulated, including malfunctioning modules due to random failure or due to radiation problems, all of which are crucial to investigate in order to quantify failure and risk scenarios of the ITk before it is built.
