Task 4.2 Stave Core Assembly (Tim)

Task 4.2 Outline Year 1: Design and construction of staves and stavelets suitable for 130nm ASICs which will be used to validate the thermal and electrical aspects of the design. The final geometry of the stave core design is contingent on external factors, particularly the layout, integration with the global support structure and level-1 trigger requirements. This will be fixed, along with performance specification towards the end of the first year. Year 2: Final development of stave core thermo-mechanical design for lowest mass, based on results from the previous work and using the tuned FEA models. The tooling to manufacture face sheets and stave cores will be developed and the final prototype staves will be manufactured and tested. Year 3: Manufacture of final prototype stave cores & mounting of electrical modules for stave system tests. A production plan for the UK share of stave cores including both manufacture and QA regime will be developed. The following stave cores will be built as a minimum; – SP Stavelet core (2-3) – DCDC Stavelet core (2-3) – Further stavelets (once powering decision is taken) (2) – Thermo-mechanical stave core (12) – Final Prototype Stave core (6) 2/05/20132ATLAS Tracker WP4 Meeting at RAL

Specifications Aim – Need to develop a set of specifications for what a stave is supposed to be (M4.1) – Need to develop a draft assembly procedures and QA plan (M4.3) Things to think about … – How do we do this within the international context? – UK-led developments (orbital welded titanium, side- mounted EoS, Single-edge locking, etc..) – UK-team comprises most of the technical effort to design/prototype/evaluate options 2/05/2013ATLAS Tracker WP4 Meeting at RAL5

Stave 130 Geometry Aim Would like to converge with realistic designs based on proper evaluation of options/constraints by September – NB not a holiday! Lots of work to be done NOW to ensure September design is as realistic as possible. Things to think about…. – What length, width, thickness? – Where do the end locations & intermediate locking points go ? – How big is the EoS – What is the cooling loop geometry – What do the end close-outs look like? 2/05/2013ATLAS Tracker WP4 Meeting at RAL6

Stave Assembly Tooling Aim – Need to build a number of stave assembly tools for emerging stave design Things to think about… – Development of current carbon-fibre tool Feedback on design/use/etc..? – Schedule Aim to have stave geometry fairly fixed by September but tooling design could start earlier? Would like to have tooling built & being de-bugged by the end of 2013 – How many tools? Liverpool / Oxford / Brookhaven ? 2/05/2013ATLAS Tracker WP4 Meeting at RAL7

Prototype Stave(let) Manufacture Aim – To manufacture stavelet and full stave cores to UK and international community for electrical readout tests – To manufacture & test thermo-mechanical stave cores to qualify geometric accuracy, mechanical and thermal performance requirements Things to think about…. – Materials procurement & QA (pre-preg, honeycomb, foam, plastics, etc…) – Sub-component specifications, manufacture & checking; parts identification – Assembly procedure tracking – Links to 4.4 (QA) 2/05/2013ATLAS Tracker WP4 Meeting at RAL8
