Abstract
The ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) is an all-silicon tracker that will replace the existing inner detector at the Phase-II Upgrade of ATLAS. The outermost part of the tracker consists of the strip tracker, in which the sensor elements consist of silicon micro-strip sensors with strip lengths varying from 1.7 to up to 10 cm. The current design is part of the ATLAS ITk Strip Detector Technical Design Report (TDR) and envisions a four-layer barrel and two six-disk end-cap regions. The sensor and readout units (modules) are directly glued onto multi-module, low-mass, high thermal performance carbon fibre structures, called staves for the barrel and petals for the end-cap. They provide cooling, power, data and control lines to the modules with a minimal amount of external services. An extensive prototyping program was put in place over the last years to fully characterise these structures mechanically, thermally, and electrically. Thermo-mechanical stave and petal prototypes have recently been built and are currently under intensive study. This contribution will focus on describing the stave and petal structures and the prototyping work carried out so far. In addition, some details of the work carried out on the global supports which will hold the staves and petals in place will also be presented.
