Development of CMS silicon strip detector module mechanics for Phase-II upgrade

The CMS experiment will change it’s silicon tracker completely during phase-II upgrade. There is need to develop light and high precision and durable mechanical structure for silicon modules. The prime purpose of this should also be reducing material in the silicon tracker detector. The group at IIT Madras is involved in R&D of production of this structures. We have produced high precision bridge made of AL-CF material and carbon fiber stiffener.
