The ALICE Collaboration aims at studying the physics of strongly interacting matter by building up a dedicated heavy-ion detector. The Inner Tracking System (ITS) is located in the heart of the ALICE Detector surrounding the interaction point. Now, ALICE has a plan to upgrade the inner tracking system for rare probes at low transverse momentum. The new ITS composes of seven layers of silicon pixel sensor on the supporting structure. One goal of the new design is to reduce the material budget ($X/X_0$) per layer to 0.3$%$ for inner layers and 0.8$%$ for middle and outer layers. In this work, we perform the calculations based on detailed geometry descriptions of different supporting structures for inner and outer barrel using ALIROOT. Our results show that it is possible to reduce the material budget of the inner and outer barrel to the value that we have expected. The manufacturing of such prototypes are also possible.

The Inner Tracking System (ITS) of the ALICE experiment will be upgraded during the second long LHC shutdown in $mathrm{2019}-mathrm{2020}$. The main goal of the ALICE ITS Upgrade is to enable high precision measurements of low - momentum particles ( < 1 GeV/c) by acquiring a large sample of events, benefiting from the increase of the LHC instantaneous luminosity of $mathrm{Pb}-mathrm{Pb}$ collisions to $mathcal{L} = 6 cdot 10^{27} cm^{-2} s^{-1} $ during Run 3. Working in this direction the ITS upgrade project is focusing on the increase of the readout rate, on the improvement of the impact parameter resolution, as well as on the improvement of the tracking efficiency and the position resolution. The major setup modification is the substitution of the current ITS with seven layers of silicon pixel detectors. The ALPIDE chip, a CMOS Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS), was developed for this purpose and offers a spatial resolution of 5 $mu$m. The use of MAPS together with a stringent mechanical design allows for the reduction of the material budget down to 0.35% $X_0$ for the innermost layers and 1% $X_0$ for the outer layers. The detector design was validated during the research and development period through a variety of tests ensuring the proper operation for the full lifetime inside ALICE. The production phase is close to completion with all the new assembled components undergoing different tests that aim to characterize the modules and staves and determine their qualification level. This contribution describes the detector design, the measurements performed during the research and development phase, as well as the production status.

The ATLAS detector at CERNs Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is equipped with a tracking system at its core (the Inner Detector, ID) consisting of silicon and gaseous straw tube detectors. The physics performance of the ID requires a precision alignment; a challenge involving complex algorithms and significant computing power. The alignment algorithms were already validated on: Combined Test Beam data, Cosmic Ray runs and simulated physics events. The alignment chain was tested on a daily basis in exercises that mimicked ATLAS data taking operations. ID commissioning after final installation into the ATLAS detector has yielded thousands of reconstructed cosmic ray tracks, which have been used for an initial alignment of the ID before the LHC start-up. A hardware system using Frequency Scanning Interferometry will be used to monitor structural deformations. Given the programme outlined here, the ATLAS Inner Detector has had a solid preparation for LHC collisions.

The Inner Tracking System (ITS) is the detector of the ALICE central barrel located closest to the beam axis and it is therefore a key detector for tracking and vertexing performance. Here, the main results from the ITS commissioning with atmospheric muons in 2008 are presented, focusing in particular on the detector operation and calibration and on the methods developed for the alignment of the ITS detectors using reconstructed tracks.
The Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN includes a silicon pixel detector as its innermost component. Its main task is the precise reconstruction of charged particles close to the primary interaction vertex. This pap er gives an overview of the mechanical requirements and design choices for the barrel pixel detector. The distribution of material in the detector as well as its description in the Monte Carlo simulation are discussed in detail.
This paper describes general characteristics of the deployment and commissioned of the Detector Control System (DCS) AD0 for the second phase of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The AD0 detector is installed in the ALICE experiment to provide a better selection of diffractive events.
