WACH4 26/11/2002Julien Cogan CERN/EP/CMA-1- M0 COOLING IN H4 Cooling is a key issue : –APD gain : ~ -2.4 % /  C –XTAL response (scintillation) : ~ -1.9 % /  C (“nominal values” from “old” measurements) Strict requirement : –contribution to  (E)/E : < 0.5 % –avoid to apply correction –  constant temperature of XTAL & APD :  0.05  C Goals in H4 this year : –provide stable conditions for the data taking –validate some cooling principles for the future (cooling units, VFE cooling) –better understanding of the system heat transfer (electronics  ADPs & XTALs) dynamic of the system (characteristic time constant of ADPs & XTALs)
