Detector Integration
Lead responsible for detector integration on the CMS experiment, including continuous development of large detector assemblies in CATIA and generating the associated technical documentation and 2D drawings.
Hi, I'm
Mihailo Lukovic
Mechanical and Controls Engineer
I'm a mechanical and controls engineer working on a novel timing detector for the CMS experiment at CERN, focused on detector integration, thermal studies of the detector's evaporative CO2 cooling system, and the design of the detector safety system.
01. Projects
Selected work from the CMS experiment at CERN.
Detector Cooling System — Thermal Studies
Responsible for thermal studies of the detector's evaporative CO2-based cooling system, including design, assembly, and commissioning of test setups and execution of thermal tests across all detector operational scenarios to optimize heat transfer performance.
Thermal Runaway Analysis
[Draft — edit me] Analysis of thermal runaway risk in detector components, assessing failure scenarios linked to radiation damage in silicon sensors and informing mitigation strategies within the detector's cooling and safety systems.
Detector Safety System Design
Project representative in the CMS Detector Safety System working group, developing, implementing, and maintaining a dedicated PLC-based SCADA system, including instrumentation integration and the associated alarm action matrix.
