The ATLAS ITk Tracking and Vertexing performance at the HL-LHC

ORAL

Abstract

The High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is expected to reach the peak instantaneous luminosity of $7.5 \times 10^{34} \rm {cm}^{-2}s^{-1}$ at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$ 14 TeV. This leads to an extremely high density environment with up to 200 interactions per proton-proton bunch crossing. Under these conditions event reconstruction represents a major challenge for experiments. To meet the HL-LHC requirements, the ATLAS Phase-II Upgrade Program foresees the complete replacement of the current Inner Detector with a new all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk). In this talk, the latest results on the expected performance of tracking and primary vertex reconstruction with the ITk will be presented.
