Important Premises… to keep in Mind • TOTEM is running only in special beam

Important Premises… to keep in Mind • TOTEM is running only in special beam condition (Low Luminosity) (we are most of the time in stand-by / off). • The TOTEM T 2 (Triple GEM) Telescope is roughly at z ± 13. 5 m. • The h region covered by T 2 is 5. 3≤|h| ≤ 6. 5… Very Forward.

TOTEM T 2 Triple GEM … one of the most important lesson (at least

TOTEM T 2 Triple GEM … one of the most important lesson (at least for me) Most of the problem that we had, were not coming from the detector itself. Cooling, Cabling, Connections… because of the intrinsic complexity of our system (limited space, radiation level, …). Now that we know the environment, our system, etc. …. It would be different. Partially because probably we have not chosen the proper solutions in the past and partially Cables, Connectors, Cooling, Gas System, Power… all this kind of things needs the proper attention… and time to time it is better to be less cool (ambitious) and more robust and simple… well, be cool is good … … but also cooled is important … fine, I’m joking… be cool and ambitious April 18, 2012 CMS GEM Upgrade Workshop III 53
