  1. TS / MME – CEM: Chemical Engineering and Methods • MANDATE • STRUCTURE AND MANPOWER • INSTRUMENTS • TWO EXAMPLES OF MAIN WORK FOR PH • FUTURE ? V.Vuillemin / TS-MME – LEAF 28.10.05

  2. TS-MME-CEM Section: Mandate Realize qualitative and quantitative inorganic and/or organic chemical analyses, develop new analytical procedures and methods following the users demands, provide support on general chemistry for MME Group and CERN community. Offers expertise and consultancy in radiation chemistry, ageing and materials compatibility and reactivity, purification of gaseous mixtures and fluids. Assures a complex range of metallic surface treatments: cleaning for UHV applications; chemical&electrochemical degreasing, plating, etching and polishing using DC or pulsed current. Assures the outsourcing, when necessary, for different surface treatments and for plastic and resins works. Produce prototypes, pieces or parts in different types of resins and realize special gluing, as, for example for cryogenic, magnetic or high voltage applications for LHC and/or HEP detectors.

  7. Avalanche mode Streamer mode Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) Used for the muons triggering for ATLAS, CMS and ALICE, experiments at LHC ATLAS CMS

  8. Ar The nominal composition of the RPC’s gaseous mixture in LHC experiments Example of a GC-MS chromatogram (standard gas mixture RPC – ATLAS)

  9. GC-MS identification of some radiolytic products Zoom 1 ALICE (Id. 19) Example: RPC – ALICE (Id.19)

  10. Cleaning tests of the irradiated gas mixture • The HF is totally eliminated • The filters reduce the total impurities content (~50%) Mixture before filters Mixture after filters

  14. FUTURE: • Do the LHC experiments need analysis during • tests / commissioning / running of: • Gas composition • Radiolytic components in gas (efficiency of filters) • Presence or not of HF in gas • Presence of silicon oil in installed chamber circuits • Cooling fluids composition [CnFm] • Radiolytic components in cooling (efficiency of filters) • Presence or not of HF in cooling fluids • Or any other chemical analysis performed in TS-MME-CEM ? • And to which extent?
