Production and Quality Control of Micromegas Anode PCBs for the ATLAS NSW Upgrade

For the 2019-20 New Small Wheel upgrade of the ATLAS detector, Micromegas detectors of 1280m2 active area will be build. On this scale industrialization of anode board production is an essential precondition for detector construction. Design and construction methods of these boards have been optimized towards mass production. In parallel quality control procedures have been developed and established. The first pre-series of large size Micromegas anode boards has been produced in industries during 2015 and demonstrates the feasibility of the project. Full scale production is currently launching and will last 16 months.
