Status RF foil • RF/vacuum foil • Purpose • Production methods used • Deformations: static - overpressure • Electrical properties • Coating • Cables • Interference Silicons
Protect against RF effects Wakefields in Vertex vessel EMI in detectors Good conductivity RF and vacuum separation foil(1) Why? • Separation extreme-high-vacuum of LHC from Detector vacuum • (outgassing electronics, cables, NEG coating,…!) • Stiffness Physics requirement: • Restrict amount of material • preferably low-Z (small radiation length) • Thin • Detectors should overlap • Alignment • Stereo angle • Complicated shape
RF and vacuum separation foil(2) • Production from foil • Requirements for: • Stiffness • Welding • Thickness • Shape • Choice of material • Methods to be used
Material data Material: AlMg3 Young's modulus: 70.000 MPa Poisons ratio: 0.33 Shear Modulus: 27.3 GPa Yield Strength: 80-180 MPa Ultimate Strength: 180-260 MPa Electrical conductivity: 1.9x107 ohm-1 m-1 (almost 50% of pure Al) Weldable!
Production of RF foil • Methods investigated: • Cold formation • Press- anneal at 420° (or 350 °) - cool- press … • More than 15 cycles, 2 – 100 bar • Two or more molds • Hot gas forming • Deform at 350° • Time consuming • Explosive formation • Uncontrolled • Superplastic deformation • Deform at 520° • One cycle, p 10 bar • Crystal growth, melting, • Vacuum leaks • Formation speed, • Temperature
Full size foil Vacuum tight foil from 300 µm AlMg3 Buckling in the center toblerones is solved Ribs (2.5mm high) are added at the forward-end to increase the stiffness.

RF shielding Frans Kroes has produced a note on Attenuation of an EM field by AlMg4 screen of 0.2 mm Conclusion: Assuming a conductivity of 0.33 of pure Al: At 1 mm distance to the rf screen: 1.415 x 10-3 V/m
Conductivity • Pure Al = 37 x 106 Ohm-1 m-1 • Measured (accuracy 10%) conductivity of 1 m long 1 cm wide strips of AlMg3: • undeformed = 17 x 106 Ohm-1 m-1 • deformed = 11 x 106 Ohm-1 m-1 • 45% for undeformed • 30% for deformed material
Coating (1) • The extreme deformation might result in tiny leaks in the material. • Also a protective layer might be used at the inside of the detector box. • Apply poly-amide-imide coating • Solution in N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) • Drying and polymerization at 60º, 150º, 260º and 315º C • Properties like Kapton and Torlon • Good electric insulation • Radiation resistant 30 MGy, strength not changed • Outgassing properties have been studied
Coating (2) A thin layer of poly-amide-imide is air brushed on the inside of the foil for electrical protection and to increase vacuum tightness Effect of the layer: Leak detection With Helium Before After 1.2e-3 3.2e-7 1.2e-5 7.2e-7 3.6e-5 5.2e-7 3.8e-5 2.4e-6 1.2e-6 3.2e-7
