The particle flux increase (pile-up) at the HL-LHC with luminosities of L = 7.5 × 1034 cm−2 s−1 will have a significant impact on the reconstruction of the ATLAS detector and on the performance of the trigger. The forward region and the end-cap where the internal tracker has poorer longitudinal track impact parameter resolution, and where the liquid argon calorimeter has coarser granularity, will be significantly affected. A High Granularity Time Detector (HGTD) is proposed to be installed in front of the LAr end-cap calorimeter for the mitigation of the pileup effect, as well as measurement of luminosity. It will have coverage of 2.4 to 4.0 from the pseudo-rapidity range. Two dual-sided silicon sensor layers will provide accurate timing information for minimum-ionizing particles with a resolution better than 30 ps per track (before irradiation), for assigning each particle to the correct vertex. The readout cells are about 1.3 mm × 1.3 mm in size, which leads to a high granular detector with 3 million channels. The technology of low-gain avalanche detectors (LGAD) with sufficient gain was chosen to achieve the required high signal-to-noise ratio. A dedicated ASIC is under development with some prototypes already submitted and evaluated. The requirements and general specifications of the HGTD will be maintained and discussed. R&D campaigns on the LGAD are carried out to study the sensors, the related ASICs and the radiation hardness. Both laboratory and test beam results will be presented.
