4. ` Concern (I) 2-phase C3F8 cooling: mix of gas and liquid – Cooling loops Heaters located inside the closed inner detector volume. They have failed in the past and some are being operated under unexpected conditions. Loops need power to get started – Cooling plant Incident on April 30 th 2008 After general power failure three compressors overheated/slipped and were seriously damaged Recent analysis has shown unexpected ‘slijtage’ of all compressors: go back to Haug (down time until April 2009) JV 2008 - Els KoffemanAtlas - Inner Detector4 C1 C3,C4,C5 C6

5. ` Concern (II) VCSEL used instead of LED and are easier to produce. The light is emitted perpendicular to the surface (V = vertical). VCSELs can have ‘slow turn on’ JV 2008 - Els KoffemanAtlas - Inner Detector5 Optical readout – 4000 modules (each module has two data links and one trigger and control line) – VCSELs suffered from electrostatic damage: only shows up as a strongly reduced lifetime (not known a priori) PIN VCSEL TTC DATA experiment Accessible area DATA PIN VCSEL
