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

To exploit the full discovery potential of the Large Hadron Collider an upgrade towards high luminosity (HL-LHC) is scheduled until 2024-25. In parallel to the accelerator the experiments have to adopt to the expected higher particle rates and detector occupancy. Within the next long shutdown in 2019-20 the innermost end-cap regions of the ATLAS Muon spectrometer will be replaced by the New Small Wheels (NSW) including Micromegas detector modules of several m$^2$ size. The Micromegas Readout Anode boards, representing the core components of the detector, are manufactured in industry, making the NSW Micromegas the first Micro Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD) for a major LHC experiment with a crucial industrial contribution. Production of the up to 2.2\,m long boards is a serious challenge on industrialization technology and quality control methods.
