[Hbi-svt] Multiple scattering from copper

[Marc McMullen]

Hi Maurizio,

I have a couple of questions concerning simulating the effects of 
different cooling materials as it pertains to the multiple scattering 
(M.S.) effect on the central detector components. We would like to have 
a material which will both efficiently remove the heat load produced by 
the ASICs of the SVT and while minimizing M.S. effect.  Amrit  has 
pointed me in your direction. What would you need to do this simulation, 
I assume the layout but perhaps a model as well as the materials. We 
have been working with the Engineering group and presently we have 
identified the thermal conducting elements to be copper, but we are also 
interested in aluminum as perhaps an alternative. In addition to what 
you would need to perform this simulation, how much time would you need. 
We are also working with Michael Merkin of MSU who is in the process 
developing the base module of the SVT detector. So we are a bit short on 
time. Let me know if theres anything I could do to help this along.

Thanks
Marc McMullen
