3 3F.Bosi, M.Massa, SuperB Meeting, Isola d’Elba, May 31, 2008 General Considerations Remember the main requirements for MAPS sensor L0 support : 1. Need to evacuate the sensor Power (about 20 kW/m 2, sensor temperature below 50 °C ) 2. The L0 MAPS support (w/o cables and sensors) has to remain as low as possible ( anyway below 0.53% X 0 ) (see Giuliana’s talk at the last Collaboration Meeting).

4 4F.Bosi, M.Massa, SuperB Meeting, Isola d’Elba, May 31, 2008 General Considerations The second statetment is due to the following physics and technological considerations: a) Total radiation length of L0 < 0.8 % X 0 b) Sensor MAPS can be thinned down to 50  m, (for N.2 layers means 0.1% X 0 ). b) Signal-Power multicable takes in total 0.17 % X 0 (Pixel Alice experiment)

5 5F.Bosi, M.Massa, SuperB Meeting, Isola d’Elba, May 31, 2008 Module Design Development We decide to study a kind of cooling with an heath sink close to the sensors (even at the internal of the support structure) using mono-phase thermal exchange in minichannel technology. For this purpose we use two kind of materials: a)Ceramics (AlN) (good thermal conductivity) b)Carbon Fiber Composite Materials (high radiation lenght) For both materials we are making prototypes in order to get experimental results to validate thermal analysis simulations.

19 19F.Bosi, M.Massa, SuperB Meeting, Isola d’Elba, May 31, 2008 Thermal Study / 1 We have done a thermal study of the L0 module using a CF support structure with a circular hole in the logic additive technics. The inner diameter of the tube is 0.4 mm, the external dimensions are 0.7 mm x 0.7 mm. Inside we have a peek tube 50 mm thick. The module is assembled gluing 18 single parts (total dimension 12.8 mm). In our study we have considered only a single square microtube part, (0.7 mm x 0.7 mm with a circular hole).

20 20F.Bosi, M.Massa, SuperB Meeting, Isola d’Elba, May 31, 2008 Thermal Study / 2 In order to study the thermal gradient between the cooling fluid and the silicon surface we used the analogy between the Ohm’s law and the Fourier’s Law (conductive law). The scheme used is the following: Where: R h is the resistance of the fluid (convective term) R peek is the resistance of the peek inner tube R CFRP is the resistance of the CF support structure R glue is the resistance of the epoxy glue R cable is the resistance of the chip-cable R Si is the resistance of the silicon sensor

28 28F.Bosi, M.Massa, SuperB Meeting, Isola d’Elba, May 31, 2008 Next mechanical/laboratory activity Manufacturing and finalization of the various carbon fiber module support (additive method) structure with minichannel technology. Manufacturing and finalization of the various ceramic support structure for L0 module with microchannel (further reduction of channel dimensions D h < 100  m) by laser ablation. Final goal: realize a full Layer 0 mechanical support with microchannel technology, cooled and tested at the T.F.D. testbench, to verify the FEA simulations. Investigate the integration of microcooling techniques on Si chips themselves.

29 29F.Bosi, M.Massa, SuperB Meeting, Isola d’Elba, May 31, 2008 Conclusions We are developing in Pisa a minichannel cooling system that seems promising to solve the high thermal power requirement of the L0 SuperB experiment. A new T.F.D. facility, now in the setup Pisa, will be able to test experimentally all the developed manufactured prototypes. In the next months we are going to produce and test a fully functional L0 mechanical prototype, with manifold feeding flanges. We are going to demonstrate experimentally that a cooling system based on microchannels can be a viable solution to the thermal and structural problems of the L0 detector, matching the severe low mass requirements.
