Detector Integration
Overview
The Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) is a novel timing detector with picosecond resolution being built as part of the CMS experiment's Phase-2 Upgrade. One of the main engineering challenges is integrating it into the CMS infrastructure under tight space constraints, while ensuring smooth integration with other subsystems and services.
My Role
- Project lead responsible for detector integration.
- Continuous development of the large detector assembly in CATIA utilizing the concepts of parametric and skeleton modelling.
- Design and analysis of detector components through hand calculations and FEA in ANSYS, ensuring compliance with industry standards (EN 13480, EN 1993, etc.).
- Collecting inputs from internal project stakeholders across multidisciplinary fields.
- Frequent collaboration with the CMS Integration Office and other CERN teams to find optimal solutions.
- Provided input to facilitate planning for integration, testing, and commissioning activities in upcoming project stages, coordinating with the CMS Technical Coordination and Logistics working group.
