Search for squarks and gluinos with the ATLAS detector in final states with jets and missing transverse momentum using 4.7 fb-1 of √s=7 TeV proton-proton collision data

This paper relies on the performance of the barrel strip tracking system for which critical assembly steps were performed under my supervision at Oxford. We mounted the more than 2000 Silicon detector modules on their support structures. After mounting the modules were tested, both in small groups and all the modules on each of the four support cylinders in turn. Less than 0.5% of the silicon modules were damaged during this assembly. This assembly task required us to develop custom robotic tooling and infrastructure to operate and read out from a quarter of the ATLAS barrel SCT at a time.
