WP10: Advanced Mechanics for Tracking and Vertex Detectors

Objectives

Task 10.1. Coordination and Communication
• Management and coordination of the Work Package, including monitoring of work progress, budget spending and
reporting to the project management.
• Organisation of WP meetings as well as meetings with other WPs and coordinating presentation of results within
AIDAinnova and to the detector community.

Task 10.2. Engineering of optimised cooling substrates
• Develop the process of cooling channel integration in CMOS structures into scalable solutions
• Define the optimal geometrical features attainable for 3D printed ultra-thin cold plates in metal alloys and ceramic
composites
• Implement the full integration of cooling features into ultra-light carbon composite structures

Task 10.3. Micro-connectivity
• Define advanced engineered solutions for the hydraulic interconnection of multiple micro-structured silicon cold plates

Task 10.4. Supercritical CO2 as refrigerant
• Characterise Supercritical CO2 (sCO2) as a possible ultra-effective single-phase refrigerant for “warm” detector
cooling
• Study the design of new supercritical heat exchangers for optimal energy recovery at higher temperatures in
transcritical CO2 cycles

Task 10.5. Characterisation of ultra-light structures
• Evaluate the feasibility of a new version of the existing Frequency Scanning Interferometry (FSI) instrumentation
suited for use as an accurate survey of ultra-light and small detector structures
• Refine and standardize the methodology for vibration and distortion measurements in view of new and more precise
specifications for future detectors
