Global System Design and integration

This Work Package focuses on the design, integration, and monitoring of the next generation of detectors for particle physics experiments. The primary objectives involve researching and developing the global mechanics of future detectors, including their installation, service integration, life cycle, and interfaces with future colliders. Another key focus of the work package is the exploration of remotely operated robotic systems for the inspection, maintenance, and handling of these detectors within the experimental
cavern. These goals are streamlined into two major programs named: (i) The vertex region of future collider experiments and (ii) Robots in the experimental caverns.

Project 1:

The unprecedented requirements for minimum material budget, mechanical stability, and proximity to the beamline necessitate the development of new design solutions for the beam pipes and vertex systems for future particle physics experiments. Furthermore, to achieve the largest luminosity, the e+e− colliders require to be put in collision with a very complex optics, where accelerator components are inside the experimental apparatus, posing integration issues with the innermost detector layers. Standard solutions currently available do not meet these specific requirements, making this research and development programme crucial for preparing the ambitious design of future beam pipe and detector mechanics.
Within this context, this project focuses on the development of the next generation mechanics for advanced layouts, including ultralight beam pipe, curved and tilted sensors, low radii vertex systems and retractable detectors for future High Energy Physics experiments.
