Description
Abstract:
AMS-02 is a multipurpose particle physics detector installed on the International Space Station. The objective includes search of dark matter, the primordial anti-matter, and the origin and propagation of cosmic rays. L0 (Layer 0) is a double-layer plane of silicon strip detector to be installed on AMS-02, which increases the acceptance of cosmic rays by 300% and significantly improves the ability of identifying heavy ions.
We will introduce the construction process and quality control (QC) of the building process. In order to keep stable performance in the extreme environment of space, mechanical accuracy and strength, detector leakage current, and noise levels must be tightly controlled during the construction process and finally tested and verified. Visual inspection, OGP metrology, and Electrical-Test will be done during construction. All the relevant results will be presented.
