  1. Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Structural & Environmental monitoring of Pixel and Tracker Systems SVD meeting Iván Vila Álvarez • Instituto de Física de Cantabria (CSIC-UC)

  2. Outline • An introduction FOS sensor for the environmental and structural monitoring • Case of use: • Current R&D for a FOS-based monitor for the PXD detector. • Final Remarks. I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  3. FOS for environmental and structural monitoring industry driven technology I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  4. Fiber Bragg Grating Optic Sensor 101 • Keep in mind: Physically, FGB sensors are a section of an optical fiber with a length of few millimeters. I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  5. Fiber Bragg Grating Optic Sensor 101 (2) I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  6. Advantages of FBG sensors • General attributes of Fiber Optic Sensors: • Immunity against: High electromagnetic fields, high voltages. High and low temperatures. Nuclear radiation environments (not in all the cases) • Light-weight, miniaturized, flexible, low thermal conductivity. • Low-loss, long-range signal transmission(“Remote sensing”) • Specific FBG attributes: • Multiplexing capability (sensor network) • Embedding in composite materials. • Wavelength encoded ( neutral to intensity drifts) • Mass producible at reasonable costs. • Very high and low temperatures (4 K to 1200 K). I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  7. Case of use: Current R&D for a FOS-based monitor for the PXD detector • For the last two and a half years, joint project with the Spanish Aerospace Agency (INTA) on the implementation of FOS sensors in HEP applications. • Main R&D lines for PXD detector: • Real time Monitoring of SVD-PXD relative position. Development of FOS-based high precision, miniaturized, radiation resistance displacement sensor. • Qualification of commercial FOS sensors against radiation. • Integration of temperature monitoring fiber sensor in PXD envelope. I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  8. FGB-based displacement sensor • New development starting from an proposal of the late BTeV vertex detector: “ The omega-like gauge” • Mechanical displacement range adapter: converting strain to displacement. I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  9. FGB-based displacement sensor (2) • First prototypes tested very recently. • Excellent linearity, about ±1 mm range and 1 um resolution. I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  10. FBG radiation hard assessment: Motivation • Most the current irradiation studies dedicated to aerospace missions and nuclear industry: Continuous gamma and neutron fields. • In HEP a more complex mixture of radiation types and presence of long annealing periods between accelerator programed stops. • We have irradiated the sensors up to SLHC levels and specifically to Belle-II levels • Reproducing behaviors shown with gammas: saturation and strong fiber coating dependence. • Still more work needed to understand long term annealing effects. I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  11. Diagnosing tools: PXD Thermo-mechanical mock-up FBG attachedCooling Block FBG attached Beam Pipe Dry Air Cooling block and Beam Pipe cooling Free FBG outside cage I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  12. Final Remark • As a very, very preliminary approach, it seems very feasible the integration of FBG sensors on the SVD enclosure CFRP cylinder for temperature and deformation monitoring seems • Other opportunities are the integration of FBG for the sensing of temperature and humidity (R&D in progress) in the SVD volume. • We are willing ( and insterested )to develop a FOS-based environmental and structural monitor for the SVD I.Vila, vila@ifca.unican.es - DESY, 25th Nov. 2011.

  15. Our current and (expected) future R&D on FOS • Study of the radiation FOS resistance as function of the coating and doping types a level of the sensor fiber. • Real time structural and environmental monitoring (temperature, movements, vibrations and humidity) of PXD and SVD subdetector at Belle-II (jointly with INTA, IFIC and HEPHY) • Intensity profiling of beam particles recently probed (quite handy for finding particle beam position).
