Description
The Phase-II upgrades focus on enhancing the Tile Calorimeter's capabilities in ATLAS detectors, essential for high-energy physics research. Led by Wits University, these upgrades involve improving LVPS bricks, which convert 200V DC to 10V DC for detector operations, ensuring radiation resistance and reliability. Over a thousand LVPS bricks will be produced, each undergoing initial and final testing. Several test stations will support the process, using LabView for hardware and software testing. After testing, data will be collected and analyzed to ensure optimal performance.
