Low-mass Mechanics and Thermal Management

This Work Package focuses on the advancement of low-mass mechanics and integrated thermal management for the next generation of vertex and tracking detectors for HEP experiments. We will achieve these objectives through the application of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques, and by challenging existing design paradigms. These activities will be helped by another key focus of this work package, which is the qualification of materials with a focus on their application in High Energy Physics. This will include selection of test standards, collation of data, inter-lab certification and development of a database through which the data can be accessed.

Work Package Leaders:

• Adam Lowe, Oxford University
• Sushrut Karmarkar, Purdue University
