A meeting to discuss issues of engineering and integration for present and future tracking systems.
Topics include
Topics include
- Deflection, stability and precision of the structures, achieved and revisited requirements for the next generation
- Choices of construction materials
- Structural issues concerning humidity or outgassing
- Tracker to beam-pipe interfaces, bakeout scenarios
- Thermal expansion differences inside the detector
- Vibration issues such as bond wire vibration (transport, operation)
- Effects on mechanics during fast discharge of magnet coils
- Radiation and mechanics: A discussion about the impacts of radiation on the design, materials and also issues like access constraints
- Mass and therefore radiation lengths of mechanics, electronics and cooling
- Mass and radiation lengths of cables and pipes
- Service management: What strategies do we have to deal with services? How can we minimise installation and testing times?
- Cooling issues inside tracker volume
- Supply and return lines inside full detector volume
- Pipe materials, pipe connection techniques and fittings
- Humidity control, inside detector volume and along services
- Gas flushing and gas cooling of tracking detectors
- Rails for support and guidance
- Alignment systems, requirements and "weak modes" of the system, in-situ adjustments, sensors including load sensors
- Managment of transport loads
- Failure management: What do we do to achieve a tracker with maximum duty cycle
- Maintenance scenarios and the required special tooling
- FEA and its comparison to real objects
