Some Background • Background to current Mechanical Design • The present design represents work by us at Syracuse as well as the Fermilab engineering group, principally by Herman Cease. • First serious mechanical designs sometime around 1999. • It has gone through several iterations and changes as ideas and technologies used in the detector have changed. • Old aerogel was replaced by liquid radiator and 5000 PMTs • Photon detector changed from HPD to MAPMT as baseline • Other changes • Shakedown of design in beam test over the past summer. • I’ll describe the current mechanical design. • This represents a lot of work (so far). • But… • So… R.Mountain, Mechanical Overview of BTEV RICH Sub-Systems, 22 Oct 2004

Construction & Installation Entirely constructed, assembled and tested at SU Shipped whole to FNAL (?) Mounted to superstructure in C0 CH Critique A few comments Not clear that it is possible yet to handle an entire row of MAPMTs for purpose of removal and repair Moving on pins is difficult mechanically Full cabling will be a nightmare Cooling interferes with this operation Need to precisely re-insert the row May require additional steel plates to provide adequate mag shielding In general, cooling and thermal issues insufficiently addressed Currently true for entire design, in my opinion Thermal expansion of various support members, as well as stability and motion MAPMT Enclosure (cont’d) REAR VIEW Beam Test Prototype design R.Mountain, Mechanical Overview of BTEV RICH Sub-Systems, 22 Oct 2004

Construction & Installation Mounted to the tank frame in C0 AH, using gasket-type seal Mirrors pre-aligned on structure Critique This Design: complicated CF support integrated with the structural frame CF tubes for access to adjustment of mirror tiles an integrated rear window Previous Design: two large panels hanging from a stiff frame tiles mounted to panels a separate rear window (Separate) Rear Window Design was always problematic Static pressure head of gas is large, so window bows under this load But can’t have braces in window region due to radiation length constraints Access to adjustment screws was cumbersome Beam pipe has to be sealed to windows with a bellows The mirror support is a mechanically complicated part of the design.
