Sumario:Dedicated studies on the performance of the Inner Detector are conducted to ensure an optimal track reconstruction of the particles created by the proton-proton collisions in the ATLAS detector at the LHC. In 2015 the insertable B-Layer was added to the Inner Detector as the new layer closest to the beam pipe. This extra addition was placed in 2014 during Long Shutdown 1 and was necessary because of the expected decrease in B-tagging efficiency and vertexing precision associated with the revision of the luminosity profile evolution at the LHC. The initial Pixel detector, the 3 most inner layers of the ID excluding the IBL, were build for a luminosity of 10^{34}cm^{−2}s^{−1} while the expected luminosity for Run-2 was higher[1]. The new IBL would help to preserve the tracking performance needed in the new high luminosity regions that we are approaching. This paper describes a study of the IBL Lorentz Angle, residual mean biases and possible correlation between these two to improve the tracking performance of the ATLAS detector.
