Université Catholique de Louvain

The Louvain group, in addition to producing around 100 petal structures (assembled both in Louvain and at CERN), has worked with the Lyon group on the integration of the Tracker endcap. They built the “petals reception centre” at CERN, where all petals produced abroad were retested prior to integration.
