  1. Cylinders or Space Frames ? David Hitlin September 16, 2005

  2. Alternatives to rohacell shells • Tensioned fibers (JA) • Light carbon fiber space frame (DH) • More material than naïve tension system, but more than shells • Still much less than silicon+cables+cooling • Should be very rigid and self-supporting • Facitates gas cooling • Permits use of lampshade endcaps • Used in BABAR vertex detector (much smaller scale) • Greatly reduces area of silicon to cover a given solid angle • Reduces multiple scattering by increasing average andle of incidence for charged particles • Facilitates access David Hitlin Sept. 16, 2005
