New LHC detector technology - Engineering the ATLAS IBL

The video tutorial provides an overview of the Insertable B-Layer (IBL) at CERN's Atlas experiment. It explains the IBL's function as a particle detector, its structure composed of staves, and the innovative use of 3D sensors. The tutorial highlights the differences between planar and 3D sensors, emphasizing the latter's robustness in harsh radiation environments. It concludes with the installation and testing process of the IBL, ensuring all systems are operational before data recording begins.
