New Small Wheel The increased energy foreseen for Run 2, and the increased luminosity foreseen for Run 3 (well above the project luminosity) are not compatible with the actual Small Wheel muon detectors. For this reason a New Small Wheel (NSW) detector will replace the current Small Wheel starting from Run 3. This means the installation on both sides must be completed during LS 2 (2018 -2019). The NSW will have a similar shape and approximately the same location (between the ECT and the ECC) compare to the actual one, but it will be very different in the conceptual design due to different constraints. The major constraints are the following: 02 -Dec-2014 NSW design 2
Constraints 02 -Dec-2014 a) The sectors (MM and s. TGC wedges) are thicker than the current EIL/EIS chambers and their overall load is more than threefold higher (around 160 k. N or more). b) Muon detector composed of full monolithic sectors (increased bending moment and, therefore, deformation due to the concentrated loads transmitted by the sector KM supports to the NSW mechanical structure) c) Two azimuthal sets of alignment bars (16 in total) d) The manipulation of the JD-NSW must be made with only a 140 -t crane e) No overlapping coverage degradation (very tight spaces for sector insertion) f) Reduced longitudinal envelope than today (55 mm space sold to LAr) f) The complete NSW (mechanical structure, alignment bars and Sectors) must be assembled and solidly linked to the JD shielding on surface (building 191) and the whole complete assembly lowered down in the cavern as today. NSW design 3
Why a New JD? In the last several months, it has been concluded that merging both JD and NSW structures could be the remedy for the majority of the conflicting issues: 1. The structure results more compact to fulfill envelope needs 2. It is lighter for a better manipulation 3. It is more rigid to limit the deformations due to the increase of sector weight and bending due to more concentrated sector loads During last design review (05/09/2014) it has been presented the New JD which has been conceived in such a way that it becomes part of the structure. The NSW is permanently attached to the New JD surface and the feet (sustaining the whole assembly) are integrated in the NSW mechanical structure, so that the stress is shared between the two objects. 02 -Dec-2014 NSW design 4
New JD + NSW 5 4 11 6 12 7 10 2 9 8 3 1 The New JD is made out of steel, while to limit the weight, the NSW structure is composed of aluminum tubular profiles that are connected together by means of inserts. This structure is fixed to the NJD with screws. For sake of rigidity, austenitic steel is used in the feet region. This permits a reduction of the whole assembly global deformation by one third. 02 -Dec-2014 NSW design 5
What else need to be done? The NSW project started several years ago. Lots of things have been done so far, but many others need to be studied and designed. For the moment the people involved have been: Giancarlo, Marco, Julien, Tatiana and Jamie In the near future, most of the ATLAS Project Office will be involved into this project: Raphael, Michel, Aimilianos, Alexandre, Vit, Augusto, Fred, Cedric, Gevorg, Tomasz A reductive and not exhaustive list of the things that still have to be done is the following 02 -Dec-2014 NSW design 6
Things to do • FEA calculations (NSW and New JD bolted connections, weldings, NSW seismic, tooling, etc. ) • Infrastructure – Layout study for assembly of New JD and NSW sectors (available space in bldg. 191 and 180) – Cranes manoeuvring limits analysis – Availability analysis of the necessary space for storage during assembly (material displacement? What? Where? ) – Possible (needed? ) reconfiguration of bldg. 191 (ECT cantilever removal) • Sectors assembly – MM Spacer frame design – Assembly study of MM wedges with spacer frame and tooling – MM Assembly location at CERN (Clean room bldg. 180 reconfiguration) – MM and s.

Thicker Sectors As sectors are thicker than the EIL chambers (410 mm with respect to 367 mm), the key approach that has been pursued in order to get more longitudinal space is the reduction of the JD thickness associated with the complete redesign of the vertical shielding implying a different sandwich of materials and a drastic thickness reduction. 410 mm 367 mm 210 mm s.

New JD Since the New JD will be rigidly connected to the structure (unlike the current one it cannot be separated from the structure) it must have windows to access the Alignment bars and the Small Sectors Kinematic Mounts of IP side. This windows will be closed with caps once the alignment is done 02 -Dec-2014 NSW design 16

NSW+New. JD counter-deformation To further reduce the overall bending and, then, gain some space to better locate the New. JDNSW assembly in the envelope, the whole structure may be designed and built with a counterdeformation that can fully or partially compensate the bending deformation improving both the longitudinal clearance and the sector positioning. Angled shim The counter-deformation could be obtained either adding an angled shim or machining the top face of the New JD shoes with a proper angle 02 -Dec-2014 NSW design 26
