DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ryan Justin Atkin (University of Cape Town (ZA))\nTh
 e upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to the high luminosity LHC (H
 L-LHC) will result in far more collisions occurring per particle bunch cro
 ssing\, in turn producing more particles per second. Consequently\, the cu
 rrent detectors will need to be upgraded to accommodate for the large incr
 ease in radiation and data acquisition as well as a need to improve the tr
 acking efficiency for the increased occupancy environment. One of the main
  upgrades to the ATLAS detector is the complete overhaul of the inner dete
 ctor (ID) by replacing it with an all silicon Inner Tracker (ITk). A simul
 ation of the ITk will also be required for performance simulations as well
  as for testing sample sensors in testbeams. The current testbeam simulati
 on and reconstruction software are written completely using Cartesian defi
 nitions. However\, some of the geometries in the ITk have radial definitio
 ns. In particular\, the geometry of the R0 sensor in the strip end-cap is 
 in need of a radial description. Presented is the work behind characterisi
 ng a radial geometry for the R0 sensor in these testbeam software. The sim
 ulated data was reconstructed and analysed with post-reconstruction softwa
 re and then compared to the reconstructed and analysed data from the EUDET
  testbeam telescope at DESY\, Hamburg.\n\nhttps://indico.tlabs.ac.za/event
