Abstract
The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is currently preparing major detector upgrades to meet the requirements of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), scheduled to begin in 2026. With the radiation damage and high density of tracks expected at the HL-LHC, the current Inner Detector would be inoperable, and will instead be replaced by an all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk). The ITk consists of two sub-systems: a pixel detector close to the beam pipe, and a strip detector at larger radii. This paper presents results from an extensive design and prototyping effort for the ITk strip detector, including studies of the sensors, electronics, and support structures. The performance of the detector has been validated through testbeams, simulations, and thermal and electrical prototypes. Plans for the forthcoming production phase are also presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
