Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/061 Inner Detector: highlights and concerns  A lot of progress on SCT & TRT integration.  Pixel production and disk integration is well advanced. Barrel integration suffers from low mass cables cracks.  Services installation has greatly improved but still on critical path.  Concerns in Feb06. and now: TRT  SCT  Pixel  Stave cooling pipe corrosion IDGEN  Service installation TRT  SCT  Pixel  Low mass (type0) Al cable cracks IDGEN  Service installation

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/062 ID Barrel integration Barrel SCT Barrel TRT  Went smoothly (1mm clearance), then connecting all services took ~5 weeks (~1/8 TRT (=9 RODs) and 1/4 SCT (=12 RODs)) + ~2w to check and adjust all and bring to life.  Very important test to verify the delicate connection process and the overall operation (up to data taking and analysis of cosmics run)

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/063 Aim of the combined test in SR1  The operational aspects:  Gain experience with detector operation  Test combined detector supply systems  Development of standalone & combined monitoring tools  Commission and test combined readout and trigger  Commission offline SW chain with real data  The detector performance aspects:  TRT performance with SCT inserted and powered  Test 4 SCT barrels together and operation with TRT  Checks of grounding for SCT and TRT  Test synchronous operation and check for X-talk and noise  Collect cosmics for efficiency, alignment & tracking studies

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/064  TRT & SCT see cosmics, they work together without any noise increase  ~450k cosmic events taken (livetime 57%)  Efficiencies as expected, but for cabling error in 2 modules Few highlights (details in Maria Costa talk tomorrow)

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/065 A hic-up  During the combined test, on May 3 rd, we had a failure of the liquid cooling for the TRT electronics while running unattended. TRT DCS failed to switch off the upper TRT sector Power Supplies after a “missing coolant” alert  the temperature on some on-detector read-out chips went up to 120C for hours.  One wire broke  Luckily no other degradation of performance has been observed after restoring normal conditions (indeed the results shown are obtained after this incident). But the effects could have been much worse.  We then went through a review process, see: to evaluate changes and precautions to avoid similar incidents to happen again and we are now implementing the recommendations of the reviewers (including overheat interlock).

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/066 ID Barrel installation in the pit  Now ID Barrel is already un-cabled and should be ready for pit installation on August 14  Installation coordinators have been named (Apsimon for SCT and Romaniouk for TRT). They have defined a detailed set of Work Packages for installation, connections and sanity checks up to the acceptance sign-off.  The installation process can only begin when all the services for the ID barrel will be tested and the pipes also cleaned. It foresees 5w for the TRT (connect and test) followed by 11w for the SCT, including 2w at the end for final tests (enough? sign-off means EC will be installed and then Barrel inaccessibility for long…).  Prior to the ID Barrel installation there will be a full transport + insertion test (from SR1 to cryostat) to be done with a dummy load on a transport trolley similar to the one to be used for IDB.  Plus the solenoidal B-field measurement

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/067 Inner cryostat equipped with services  Waiting for the ID Barrel, services have been installed. This is now quite advanced (3/4 done) and the work inside the cryostat is expected to ~end by mid July (when B-field measurement should begin)  Other activities not needing access to cryostat bore (e.g. pipe connection to racks) will continue.  Artwork done under enormous schedule pressure

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/068 Pipework from Z=0 to racks  ~1200 pipes (~5000 connections, most crimping plus 800 welds)  Must increase the speed to meet IDB installation (end August) 300 pipes in 20 days 14/7 9/8 9/9

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/069 Solenoidal B-field measurement (see W. Kozanecki talk)  Has to be done before ID Barrel installation, 2w (last of July+1 st of August) and interferes with services installation.  Machine ready and installed in parking position inside cryostat.

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0610 Evaporative cooling system  Just one (maybe the most complex) of the ancillary systems necessary to operate ID Barrel (and later EC and Pixel). Main cooling plant and control PLC Heater control Heater power supplies USA.L2 Heater power supplies US.L2 Distribution racks x 4 US15 USA15UX15 platforms On-detector loops capillaries and HEX’s heaters Loop-Back

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0611  Loop-back tests are foreseen in the cryostat prior to ID Barrel installation to verify (+clean) the circuits.

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0612 Liquid 16Bar Vapour 2Bar Heater loads x 5 TE bulkhead  Loop-back tests are foreseen in the cryostat prior to ID Barrel installation to verify (+clean) the circuits. 5 full circuits with heat loads (mimicking detector), simplified for all (clean + test).

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0613 EC integration - SCT  ECC arrived at CERN on Feb 23 and completed acceptance tests on March 24 (500 points visual inspected, continuity tests, leak tests,…)  Cont. tests found 50 new disconnects due to unplug at the Temporary Interconnect, which required repair (now partially done).  April 10 moved on cantilever tool and during May it was fixed into its “integration” position

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0614  June: the Inner Thermal Enclosure was inserted (min clearance 2mm) sealed and grounded  Then the front membranes were added (separate sheets for gas and grounding)  Tests from mid-July to Aug 4 th then integration with TRT begins and plan to be ready for combined tests from early September to early November  RFI: beginning of December

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0615  ECA arrived at CERN on Apr 21 st and completed acceptance tests including all disk running cold on June 22 nd

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0616  Number of dead channels remains constant and at the 0.2% level (typical value for both Barrel and EC SCT).  VCSEL failure is not negligible, 4% of the modules is readout through the redundant scheme (1 link out of 2 working). This number is stable  Integration steps of ECA follows ECC with ~1 month delay (now getting shorter).

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0617 TRT EC  ECC Harnesses installed and under testing. Active gas and cooling running. Faraday shields installed, CO2 safety valves in place. 0.5% dead channels.  Moved to ID trolley  First tests with self trigger allows to see cosmics, complete SCT & TRT test will follow from September

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0618  ECA FE electronics installed and tested. Active gas leak tightness OK, single cooling circuits leak tested: OK, 0.3% bad channels.  HV tests ~OK  problems with 2 wheel sectors, repair once on integration trolley  Integration with SCT should follow (for both TRT EC) according to SCT schedule.  ECC combined test in SR1 test area, ECA will follow N.B.: 1 broken fuse found for EC A after ~1 year (out of 15000);  replaced

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0619 Pixel progress  The Pixel End Cap integration is proceeding well.  PixelECC at CERN and passed the acceptance (leak check and connectivity) tests. Dead channels at few per mille level.  PixelECA ready for transport. Still need some repair at CERN (problems with 3 modules)  We are preparing for cosmic tests with PECC to:  test whole DAQ chain  commission a lot of service SW, from DCS to heavy usage of CondDB and survey data.  and offline SW (detector description, track reconstruction,...)

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0620  In practice

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0621 Barrel progress  Module production is done  IZM part finished with 97% yield after rework  AMS part should end in a couple of weeks with ~90% yield  1744 modules are needed and we’ll have ~2300 good bare modules. This allows to produce more staves to minimize # of “inserted”.  Stave cooling pipe corrosion has been solved using three paths  Change the pipe (for staves not yet loaded with modules)  Insert a smaller pipe (for already loaded stave)  Build new staves (to compensate for losses in the above)  all progressing well

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0622 Stave loading  61 staves with the new pipe already loaded, 25 still to go (should end in September).  35 of the 42 staves already loaded have now inserted pipe and 13 are qualified (the rest is ongoing, a couple of staves have been “lost”) 2.7 Staves/Week 4.5 Staves/Week  Strategy is to have mixed bi-staves in Layer2 (less cooling needed after irradiation) and non-inserted elsewhere. Therefore only 26 “inserted” are needed (and extra modules become necessary).

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0623  Also creating a pool of the “best 30 staves” to be devoted to the B- layer (=22 staves) which is more critical for precise vertexing.  Barrel integration started in late April and 2 bi-staves were loaded on their support frame (for layer 2).  Tests showed that two low mass (Al) cable were broken, this stopped integration and started investigations on the possible causes.

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0624 The low mass (or type0) cable problem  The barrel Al cables are made of 100  m wire for signal and 300  m for power (21 wires in a bundle), both wire-bonded on a small printed board + mini connector (~1m, module  PP0).  The initial interpretation was that the cable was stressed during manipulation and strain relief and better practice should solve the problem.  Visual inspection and electrical tests after stress on all production started and found that ~50% of the 2000 cable produced are bad or likely to evolve bad.  Indeed the insulation was found to have cracks and, being the insulator much stronger than a 100  m Al wire, any stress would concentrate on the wire thus breaking it (sooner or later), this is not true for the thicker power wires.

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0625  The statistics of the faults is:  Green = good  Yellow = broken insulation but only on 1 or 2 power wires  Red = broken insulation on signal wires  Black = electrical failure  Then the initial interpretation true but partial: some cables are already damaged in the production process (that’s why we did not see with home made prototypes...). Unfortunately our QA did not spot early this problem.  The problem shows-up just after a heat shrink (example) Al shines through insulator crack

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0626  Last week visit to firm in Taiwan of our experts analyzed production process and found ways of reproducing the problem  Wires are bent and then immersed in 400C NaOH for stripping.  Excessive bend and high T can damage the insulator  New production process should give 50 cables this week and then 130/w (1000 cables to produce ~ 2 months).  After analysis of the 50 cables we’ll already know if the problem is solved, but we’ll continue detailed QA (including visual inspection, which is very manpower consuming)

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0627  We already restarted integration of bi-staves last week with the green+yellow cable set and we are now back to the mid-April time frame…  i.e. we have lost ~3 mo in the already critical barrel integration process.  We’ll than have a TC review on July 18 (chair A. Clark) to:  Evaluate if the technical solutions are ok  Evaluate what can be done to speed-up the schedule (without risk)  Once the work packages will be defined there may be a call for help to non-pixel groups in case this is deemed necessary to meet the April 2007 installation date (preliminary analysis indicate there is no time for pixel installation in the 2008 shut down).

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0630 Conclusions  ID is progressing well toward integration and installation, but the next weeks and months are very critical as we have a very condensed installation schedule.  The ID barrel installation will be a major milestone as it should also include bringing to life and safely operate complex ancillary systems (evaporative cooling, PS system, gas systems) which have not been commissioned yet. The experience in SR1 is positive, but problems cannot be excluded.  Pixel Barrel has a schedule risk that we are trying to minimize

Leonardo Rossi – ATLAS plenary- Stockholm 10/07/0631  ….but we finally hope to succeed…  …and keep the ATLAS logo high
