AGATA: mechanics and infrastructures
Tóm tắt
The successful operation of AGATA requires a complex mechanical support structure for the safe and reliable operation of the detectors. Three mechanical structures were designed for the scientific campaigns at LNL, GSI and GANIL, each accommodating an increasing number of detectors. The present phase of the project, to increase the number of detectors from 60 to 180 (the
$$4\pi $$
spectrometer), required a new concept in mechanical support. The detectors also require a suite of associated instrumentation, infrastructures and good system
design for their optimum performance. This includes the automatic liquid nitrogen filling system, high and low voltage power supplies, and a series of signal cables and distribution systems. A well-designed electromagnetic compatibility across all the sub-systems is essential. An additional requirement is an easily accessible database that records the status of the wide range of components utilised on the project. This article describes all aspects of the mechanics and infrastructures.
