R&D for the Cooling Demonstrator of the CBM Silicon Tracking System (STS) — •Kshitij Agarwal for the CBM collaboration — Physikalisches Institut der Universität Tübingen
As the core detector of the CBM experiment, the Silicon Tracking System (STS) located in the dipole magnet aims to reconstruct charged-particle tracks & momentum from beam-target interactions.
Due to the expected non-ionising irradiation damage (fluence - 1014 neq(1MeV)/cm2), the silicon microstrip sensors will dissipate < 6 mW/cm2 at -10∘C. Thus it is imperative to keep the sensors at or below -10∘C at all times to avoid thermal runaway and reverse annealing by forced N2 cooling. The corresponding electronics connected via ultra-thin microcables are placed outside detector acceptance with a dedicated cooling system used to remove ∼ 40kW power dissipated.
To experimentally verify the aforementioned concepts under realistic mechanical constraints, a thermal demonstrator comprising a half-layer of STS is under development. This contribution will describe the electronics cooling system design and respective cooling performance simulations. Experimental proof-of-principle tests/simulations with 3M™ Novec™ 649 for electronics cooling and air cooling for silicon sensor cooling will be shown. Lastly, future plans on the demonstrator integration and design will be also presented.
