The EP-DT Quality Assurance & Reliability Testing (QART) Lab
The QART lab provides resources concerning quality assurance to the CERN community as a whole but focused primarily on silicon detector technology.
The main purpose of the lab is to provide equipment and expertise in order to perform reliability testing. The lab has environmental test chambers, a vibration test system, stereo- and 3D digital microscopes, infrared cameras, a small but high field (2T) normal magnet, and a variety of other devices.
The lab also provides advice and assistance in many aspects of silicon detector design, construction, and operations.
