Speaker
Description
This presentation will provide an overview of the joining methods used in the production of the CO$_2$ cooling pipes for the TB2S detector, part of the CMS Tracker Upgrade at CERN. It will focus on both brazing and soldering techniques applied to assemble the components, as well as the cleaning methods and manufacturing processes employed. The aim is to share key lessons learned during production, with particular emphasis on the importance of independent checks and full process traceability. These aspects proved essential in a distributed production model where technical work was outsourced to multiple suppliers and service providers. The presentation is intended to inform and support future projects facing similar challenges in quality assurance and coordination across multiple partners.
