Various materials were tested for use in the elements of the cooling system for the readout electronics of the BM@N silicon tracking detector. The thermal design was performed using the ANSYS software package and the thermal conductivities of various adhesives and carbon-fiber composites were experimentally measured. The results were used to select materials for cooling fins. Thermal tests of the prototypes of front-end-board boxes have been carried out, during which various thermal interfaces were also tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
