Design of the Cooling System of the Mu2e Electromagnetic Calorimeter at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
In this Thesis, the cooling of the electronics of the Mu2e calorimeter has been discussed. The analysed technical solutions for the cooling of the front-end boards, the waveform digitizers boards and the interface boards have been presented. The project of the crate has been showed in detail. It is placed in the outer surface of the calorimeter disk and it is a mechanical support for the boards and also part of the thermal circuit. The distributing system of the refrigerant fluid for the whole calorimeter has been analysed too. Then the manufacturing solutions of the crates and the components for the thermal path have been developed. At the end, the main experimental tests have been presented. They are going to be realized in the next months.
