Description

The Tracker Barrel with 2S Modules (TB2S) detector of the HL-LHC CMS Tracker will consist of 4416 silicon strip modules, supported by 368 “Ladder” structures. A carbon composite “Wheel” of 2.4 m diameter and 2.4 m length supports the Ladders as well as smaller sub-detectors of the Tracker. This presentation summarizes the main design features of the TB2S Wheel and explains the various production phases that are currently culminating in the final assembly and load testing of the Wheel. Various production difficulties and lessons learned will be explained.
