Recent developments in the mechanical supports for the next generation of large area tracking systems at HL-LHC have established the benefits of large-scale multi-module systems. In this presentation, we report on an evolution of this approach targeted towards future large area tracking systems for future e+e- and pp collider experiments.
We will describe the design of a large-scale...
DESY and the other Helmholtz centers and institutes participating in the Helmholtz research field Matter are currently preparing the application for the next funding period, which will start in 2021. With this document we will try to increase the visibility of detector mechanics and cooling, and put more emphasis on generic R&D in these topics. In parallel to the general funding application we...
Position-sensitive silicon tracking detectors at collider experiments and elsewhere require advanced
solutions for mechanical support and cooling. Integrated low-mass systems must be developed that
offer efficient heat removal and miminize the impact of the support and cooling systems on the
material budget of the detector.
Cooling the detector through micro-channels in silicon offers...
CO2 cooling has been the ideal cooling technology for detectors since its introduction for the LHCb-VELO cooling in the beginning of the millennium. The target operational temperatures for silicon detectors have been lowered over the years stretching the CO2 cooling technology to its limits. Detector cooling typically having small tubes need a high pressure evaporative fluid to be able to...
Robots of different characteristics and designs are emerging and becoming essential for solving challenging problems in industry and harsh environments. Aiming to increase safety, robots can help perform repetitive and dangerous tasks, which humans either prefer to avoid or are unable to do because of hazards, size constraints, or the extreme environments in which they take place, such as...
