  Request for a DESY Summer Student in 2011
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
 

  Name : Andreas Mussgiller   email : mussgill@mail.desy.de
 
  Tel  : 3983                 Room : 1a/O2.117
 
  DESY-Group/Experiment : CMS

  ----------------------------------------------------------------
   
  Short description of the project the student should work on  :

  For the planned LHC luminosity upgrade also an upgrade of the inner
  tracking detectors of CMS is inevitable. The aims of the detector
  upgrades are mainly to increase the granularity and reduce the
  material budget, which is a limitation of the current CMS tracker.

  The DESY CMS group is involved in the design of new silicon
  detector modules for the future tracker outer barrel from the
  mechanical and thermal point of view. Up to now the module design
  is purely based on finite element calculations that have to be
  confirmed and refined by measurements. We are currently setting up
  a laboratory test setup that will allow us to measure the thermal
  and mechanical performance of test structures and also prototype
  modules. In addition we plan optical measurements of the module
  deformation due to thermal stress.

  There are two possible areas for the summer student to get involved:

  (1) Prototype measurements:
    - Temperature measurements on simple test structures
    - Thermal conductivity & mechanical properties of new materials
    - Thermal resisitivity of material junctions
    - Heat transfer efficiency of composite prototypes
    - Comparison to finite element calculations

  (2) Optical deformation measurement setup:
    - help in planning & construction
    - software development for CCD camera readout
    - software development for image processing
    - conduct first measurements and analysis of the results
