Abstract | |||||||||||||
| A finite element thermal analysis is performed for the various configurations of the ATLAS barrel SCT module. The design of the module are based on the recent proposal by RAL to reduce the overall radiation thickness of the module. Its several variations are also evaluated. The main goal of the present calculation is to estimate the safety margin for the thermal runaway. 1. Module models Eight different module geometries as listed in Table 1 are evaluated.
