Assembling the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) which consists of approximately 16,000 silicon microstrip detectors with 6.3 million readout channels built into 4,088 modules.
In participating institutes worldwide, graduate and undergraduate students as well as high school teachers and students are involved in the development, construction and testing of parts of the new detectors. This work provides experience in modern laboratory work, state-of-the-art research, cooperation in international teams, and complex problem solving. Such an education prepares students for a wide spectrum of professions in science and industry as well as in education and administration.Special Education Programmes Credits:
