The radiation hardness of certain optical fibres for the LHC upgrades at -25°C
A luminosity upgrade is planned in the future for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (called SLHC). Two optical fibres have been tested in a bespoke cold container achieving a constant temperature of ≃ -25°C during the entire exposure.

| 總結: | A luminosity upgrade is planned in the future for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (called SLHC). Two optical fibres have been tested in a bespoke cold container achieving a constant temperature of ≃ -25°C during the entire exposure. The motivations and results of these tests are presented and two mul-timode and one single mode optical fibre have been identified as candidates for optical links within the joint ATLAS and CMS Versatile Link project. |
