ATLAS ITk Production Database use and tools

Abstract

The ATLAS detector will undergo major upgrades before data-taking at the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider will start in 2030. One of the main upgrades is a new radiation-hard inner tracking detector with a fast readout which is needed to cope with the high pile-up interaction rate (with up to 200 additional interactions per bunch crossing). Building this detector is an international effort and involves a large-scale manufacture of parts following a complex production flow across institutes. To maintain the tight production schedule and ensure the detector is build to specifications, continuous oversight of the build status is essential. For this purpose, a Production Database was developed which is a fully functional distributed data management system. It will be in use for the remaining years of construction and for 10 years of detector operation. The production database functionality and its usage is described in these proceedings.
