R&D Activities on cooling in PH-DT group

Participants: P.Petagna, J.Godlewski, P.Tropea, A.Mapelli, A.Moraux, G.Nuessle, J.Daguin, J.Noite, J.Noel, J.Swierblewski, R.Dumps, L.Zwalinski, B.Verlaat

Current activities

  • Setting up a test bench to evaluate the suitability of CO2-based cooling for LHC tracker upgrades - collaboration work space

  • "On Detector" Thermal Management - study of different "customized" solutions for thermal contact

  • First case-study of direct chip cooling technique through a coupled micro-channel circulation plate for NA62 "GIGA-TRACKER"

  • Study on new class of physical sensors - optical-fiber based Relative Humidity sensors

  • Process modeling and dynamic simulations study focusing this technique on the application of future detector cooling plants

  • Studies on remote repairing of leaks in detector cooling plants and on correlations between measured leak rates and fluid loss

Activities are performed in the frame of Detector Cooling Project.
