Micro channel evaporative CO2 cooling for the upgrade of the LHCb vertex detector

Journal article

Local thermal management of detector electronics through ultra-thin micro-structured silicon cooling plates is a very promising technique for pixel detectors in high energy physics experiments, especially at the LHC where the heavily irradiated sensors must be operated at temperatures below -20 C. It combines a very high thermal efficiency with a very low addition of mass and space, and suppresses all problems of CTE mismatch between the heat source and the heat sink. In addition, the use of ...
