MOTIVATION TO COOL SILICON SENSORS
Leakage Current varies linearly with fluence:
=
This also increases the detector shot noise and degrades the S/N ratio:

Higher Temp.
Cooling Power
Higher Power Dissipation
Power Dissipation (or leakage current) doubles whenever the silicon temperature is increased by 10 C
If the Cooling Power can't neutralise the Heating Power caused due to high STS irradiation environment, then this self feeding system goes into `Thermal Runaway'

IDENTIFYING POWER INTENSIVE AREA
STS Front View
STS Top View
Only the innermost sensors of the central ladders (x,y 10 cm) of all stations, where power dissipation is less than 3mW/cm (@-10C, EOL) requires active cooling
The peripheral sensors of the central and peripheral ladders can be cooled by natural convection (-10C)
Online Tool: https://fair-center.eu/fileadmin/fair/experiments/CBM/tmp/CBM_FLUKA.htm
Detailed power dissipation numbers for inner ladders of Station #1 and #8 are tabulated in the backup slides (#26)

BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL SOLUTION
Detailed Calculations: K. Agarwal, Thermal Runaway Analysis for STS Sensors, STS Coordination Meeting, 25.01.2021 | Link
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS -
Power dissipation for innermost sensors ~ 6 mW/cm (at -10C at EOL fluence 1014 neq(1 MeV)/cm)
Target sensor temp. -10 ... -5C to achieve S/N 10

Theoretically, it's possible to stably operate the innermost STS sensors at -7C with sufficient margin from thermal runaway (by assuming that one can achieve an infinite heat sink around at -10C at 3 m/s)

PERFORATED TUBE - MATERIAL & MANUFACTURABILITY
Perforated tubes made from carbon fibre (CF); Outer Diameter = 2.4 mm, Thickness = 200 m Local addition of x/X0tube = 0.14% radiation length to its location of mounting. So, the average material budget is
only increased very marginally and will soon be added in the STS GEANT geometry. Manufacturability tested by ICM-Composites (DE)

Since the temp. exposed to the environment (i.e., temp. `seen' by the silicon sensors) is ~ -20C which is much lower than -10C, there is substantial headroom
for increasing the coolant temp. from -40C

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
SENSOR COOLING
Based on CFD Flow Simulations, a cooling concept to avoid thermal runaway of the STS sensors at their end-of-lifetime has been established
Manufacturability of low material budget CF-perforated tubes, which are the active sensor cooling elements, has been demonstrated
ELECTRONICS COOLING
tm
tm
3M NOVEC 649 has been chosen as the coolant to neutralise the
electronics power dissipation of 40 kW
Combination of CFD and Thermal FEA Simulations shows that sufficient margin is available if one uses the coolant at -40C
A Baby Cooling Plant, with 7.5kW cooling capacity at -40C, was delivered in 12/2020 which will be used for STS assembly and any intermediate tests
BUSY ROAD AHEAD (2021)
To experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of STS concepts in realistic boundary conditions, the construction of a thermal demonstrator is ongoing!

QUESTION ABOUT THE ADDED MATERIAL BUDGET
CF pipes aren't the dominant contributor to the material budget
Material budget worth 1 additional pipe shouldn't be a big problem

STS SENSOR MODULE
To obtain high momentum resolution (which is imperative for tracking, especially at low momentum), its important to reduce any unnecessary material inside the detector acceptance:
.
..
Therefore, design of STS sensors are a `bit' different than conventional silicon sensors (e.g., at LHC exp.)
Ideally, electronics should be immediately behind the sensors to reduce any in-line capacitance/noise
But given that electronics would have added too much to the material budget, ultrathin microcables
are used in-between

WHY 3M NOVEC 649 ?
Novec and 3M are trademark of 3M (TM) Corporation
Radiation hard (resistant to gamma radiation > 10 kGy). So minimal production of radiation byproducts, which otherwise could block cooling lines or cause corrosion!
Usable down to -108C
Unfortunately higher pressure drops, but could be compensated by higher tube diameters (for STS, ID = 6 mm)
Green and possible long-term availability
