Abstract
A silicon pixel detector has been chosen for the innermost region of t he ATLAS experiment. In addition to being a new technology sitting in a particularly hostile environment, the ATLAS experiment imposes some difficult constraints of its own on this detector. This demands an amb itious development program. The first generation of front-end chips ha ve recently been bonded to detectors and tested in a beam of 180 GeV p ions. Presented here is a description of the demands on the ATLAS pixe l system and the first encouraging results. (C) 1998 Published by Else vier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
