Description
In the current CMS tracker power cables constitute a substantial
fraction of its dead-material. In an upgraded tracker for an SLHC the
current scheme of supplying power independently to each module is
unlikely to be tenable due to excessive dead-material. A review of
the current ideas for power distribution for a CMS tracker at the SLHC
are presented, the experimental methods used to evaluate the performance
of different schemes is described and the ongoing tests of different options are outlined.
