From the contruction point of view the different tracker sub-detectors are organized in
|
| 5 |
|
|
the following way. \\
|
| 6 |
|
|
TOB is assembled inserting 'rods' into a mechanical structure which holds them and supports
|
| 7 |
|
|
their services. Rods have half of the TOB lenght and are inserted half from the 'z+ side'
|
| 8 |
|
|
(called TOB+) and half from the 'z- side' (TOB-). The TOB services are routed outside of its
|
| 9 |
|
|
volume from the two flanges where fibres, pipes and cables are $90^\circ$ tilted
|
| 10 |
|
|
towards the tracker support tube where they are fixed and routed outside of the tracker at its
|
| 11 |
|
|
two ends.\\
|
| 12 |
|
|
The TIB is divided into two completely independent parts: TIB+ and TIB-. Each shell is conected
|
| 13 |
|
|
with an identical one to build a complete cylinder (Layer); then the four TIB layers are
|
| 14 |
|
|
inserted one into the other starting from outside to inside. The TIB services exit the
|
| 15 |
|
|
detector volume from the external flange, they are routed radially toward the TIB Layer 4
|
| 16 |
|
|
anf then bent on the TID service cylinder up to the patch panel (called 'Margherita').\\
|
| 17 |
|
|
Three mechanically separated rings are assembled together to form a TID disk; three disks are
|
| 18 |
|
|
inserted in a carbon fibre cylinder which hold them together with thee TID services.
|
| 19 |
|
|
The preassembled TID+/- is attached to the TIB+/- and it is also used as support for all
|
| 20 |
|
|
the services. \\
|
| 21 |
|
|
When each TIB/TID half detector is assembled and validated, it is inserted into the TOB.
|
| 22 |
|
|
Then it is connected to the fiber ribbons, pipes and power cables which are routed outside the
|
| 23 |
|
|
Tracker Support Tube following the path of the TOB ones.\\
|
| 24 |
|
|
TEC disks are made by 'petals'. Also in this case the services run on a TEC disk towards the
|
| 25 |
|
|
Tracker Support Tube where they follow the same path. Two TEC (also called TEC+ and TEC-)
|
| 26 |
|
|
are inserted in the Support Tube when the barrel part is assembled.\\
