Field integrals for the ATLAS tracking volume

The magnetic field integrals connected with the momentum resolution are calculated for the ATLAS inner tracking volume in a range of pseudorapidity $|\eta| < 3$ for the cases of `ideal' and inhomogeneous solenoid fields. In the latest case, the magnetic field map is extracted from POISSON calculations with help of an interface program POISGT. The tracking volume is restricted by a length of 6.8 m and by a radius of 1.06 m. The solenoid coil with an active length of 6.3 m and with an inner radius of 1.23 m produces the magnetic flux density of 2 T in the center of the coil.

Alignment of the Pixel and SCT Modules for the 2004 ATLAS Combined Test Beam

A small set of final prototypes of the ATLAS Inner Detector silicon tracker (Pixel and SCT) were used to take data during the 2004 Combined Test Beam. Data were collected from runs with beams of different flavour (electrons, pions, muons and photons) with a momentum range of 2 to 180 GeV/c. Four independent methods were used to align the silicon modules. The corrections obtained were validated using the known momenta of the beam particles and were shown to yield consistent results among the different alignment approaches. From the residual distributions, it is concluded that the precision attained in the alignment of the silicon modules is of the order of 5 micrometers in their most precise coordinate.
