1 CUORE LNGS Review, November 2008Karsten Heeger, Univ. Wisconsin 1 Calibration Slides for the CUORE Review at LNGS

2 CUORE LNGS Review, November 2008Karsten Heeger, Univ. Wisconsin 2 Detector Calibration System vertical cross section of the cryostat Pb shield 300K 40K 4K 0.7K 80mK 10mK detectors @ ~10mK Pb shield motion system: insertion and extraction of sources in and out of cryostat Source Deployment in between crystal towers to allow calibration of all bolometers guide tubes: no straight vertical access source strings: move under own weight in guide tubes top view of detector array with source positions source locations

3 CUORE LNGS Review, November 2008Karsten Heeger, Univ. Wisconsin 3 Detector Calibration System Mass of source crimps (x 30 crimps): Copper bead (1.8mm OD): 2.9 g PTFE sleeve: 0.5 g Fe 0.5mm dia wire: 0.3 g Motion Box and Drive Spool System load cell vacuum feedthrough with shaft vacuum flange motor electrical feedthrough narrow spool for spiral winding guide pulley drive spools can be removed for individual source exchange ~1m guide tubes detectors motion box

4 CUORE LNGS Review, November 2008Karsten Heeger, Univ. Wisconsin 4 Detector Calibration System Mass of source crimps (x 30 crimps): Copper bead (1.8mm OD): 2.9 g PTFE sleeve: 0.5 g Fe 0.5mm dia wire: 0.3 g radioactive source wire 56 Co: proton activated Fe wire 232 Th: Thoriated Tungsten wire Kevlar string Cu crimp PTFE heat shrink source wire flexible, moves in guide tube under own weight small mass: < 5 grams vertical distribution of source activity can be adjusted Source String Guide Tubes stainless and/or machined from solid, low-background copper ~1m ~10mm

5 CUORE LNGS Review, November 2008Karsten Heeger, Univ. Wisconsin 5 Calibration System: Cryogenic Challenges Calibration system must be integrated with complex detector cryostat Must meet available cooling power requirements at all thermal stages 300K 40K 4K 0.7K 80mK 10mK StageT [K]Calibration system cooling power budget [W] 40K40 – 50~ 1 IVC4 – 50.3 STILL0.6 – 0.90.55m HEX0.05 – 0.1 1.1  MC0.01 1.2  TSP0.01 < 1  guide tubes bolometric detectors → Cooldown of source string → Friction heat during insertion/extraction → Static heat load of guide tubes: thermal conductance&radiation emission lead shield

6 CUORE LNGS Review, November 2008Karsten Heeger, Univ. Wisconsin 6 Detector Calibration System Radioactive Sources: 56 Co and/or 232 Th, both have been used in Cuoricino Schedule –Q4/2008: review of preliminary design of calibration system –Q1-Q3/2009: cryogenic tests of prototype source system with guide tube section at Wisconsin –Q4/2009: installation of 2 full-scale prototype guide tube routings in the CUORE cryostat at LNGS; tests at 300K and < 4K. –2010: installation and commissioning of the calibration system in the CUORE cryostat Simulations ~100 events over background per peak are required for successful calibration
