Microstation Prototype Progress Report Jaak Lippmaa Manchester, December 12, 2005
Introduction • Microstation concept proposed for the FP420 in August 2005 • Roadmap proposed and approved by the FP420 collaboration • We report the development to date • To Do List Renewal • Newcomers to the design team Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa
Microstation Concept Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa
Microstation Mechanics Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa
New Requirements • Several detector planes have to be accommodated • Must have flanged interconnect to beam pipe • Must be bakeable • Should be one sided • Detectors should preferably be in beam vacuum Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa
Implications • Thorough design review was conducted • Present detector frame design cannot accommodate hybrid mounted detectors or multiple detector planes • Increased thermal load not compatible with the original design • Use of detector hybrids imposes changes in detector mounts and the number of wires needed and amount of power that needs to be fed to the vacuum chamber • Vacuum chamber design has to be changed to accommodate flanges and bigger detectors and rigid mount • Relational co-ordinate system has to replaced by the ”cavern reference system” Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa
Vacuum Chamber • Original vacuum chamber was designed as a lightweight self sustaining pre-tensioned structure suitable for volume production • Manufacturing just one unit is very costly! Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa
Detector mounts • Detector mounts could not handle the added strain on the inch-worm motors and frames • Cold fingers are inadequate for added thermal load of several detector planes and readout electronics Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa

Where will the protons be? Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa
Vacuum Chamber cont’d • We redesigned the vacuum chamber • Along traditional vacuum design principles using cylindrical components and flanges • All moving parts can be housed in a rigid secodary vacuum chamber elmiminating air/vacuum boundary at bellows • To accommodate detectors on one side of the beam pipe • Detector movement is facilitated by bellows bridging vacuum/air interface, double bellows for added protection to primary vacuum can be accommodated in this case • Detectors are between the beam pipes – careful with the interpipe space budget !

New Concept BASIC IDEA - MICROPOT Beam pipe Heat Exchanger Emergency stop and calibration position UHV bellows Detector array Air Cavity -Can be sealed and pumped for secondary vacuum option • Step-Motor • Stiff contact with detector frame • Operates in air or vacuum UHV cavity Rigid (flanged) coupling to the beam pipe • Detector frame • Acts as cooling conduit • Supports rigid cabling Fiducial Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa Cable UHV feedthrough

New Concept Cont’d Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa
Advantages of the updated design • Precision adjustable stepper motors are readily available for air or vacuum operation with 5 micron accuracy • Components for the vacuum chamber are available, relatively small amount of welding is needed • Cooling can be handled by simple ethylene-glycol system or LN • COTS components can be used for most of the design other than the detector frame/hybrid • This should keep the cost down and facilitate cost sharing Manchester 11-13 Dec 2005 Microstation Update Jaak Lippmaa
To Do List • Requirements set by the transfer cryostate still unclear • Selection of detectors • Need detector pack dimensions and weight • Need accurate bill of materials for vacuum outgassing study • Need to co-ordinate hybrid design – wiring and power requirements (heat exchange) • Selection of readout electronics • Whose DAQ? • How many wires have to cross air/vacuum interface • Selection of mounting • how many degrees of freedom for the mount • How many degrees of freedom for the detector assembly?
