The detector control system for the ATLAS semiconductor tracker assembly phase

The ATLAS Semiconductor tracker (SCT) consists of 4088 silicon microstrip modules, with a total of 6.3 million readout channels. These are arranged into 4 concentric barrel layers and 2 endcaps of 9 disks each. The coherent and safe operation of the SCT during commissioning and subsequent operation...

Description
Summary:The ATLAS Semiconductor tracker (SCT) consists of 4088 silicon microstrip modules, with a total of 6.3 million readout channels. These are arranged into 4 concentric barrel layers and 2 endcaps of 9 disks each. The coherent and safe operation of the SCT during commissioning and subsequent operation is an essential task of the Detector Control System (DCS). The main building blocks of the SCT DCS, the cooling system, the power supplies and the environmental system, are described. First results from DCS testing are presented.
