Description
The housing of the sensors for future RICH detectors is a complex task, regardless of the sensor choice,
due the many requirements. In order to save on the required resources and simplify the design, different
functions should be possibly integrated all together, including, for SIPM-like sensors, some sort of active
cooling. A local cooling strategy is being investigated first, to cool down a region as small as possible around
the sensor only, exploiting the industrial technologies existing today for cooling of solid state devices by
many applications. The results of test conducted so far will be presented together the current conceptual
design, tests and prototyping.
