Future Circular Collider at CERN

Development of design method for strucutural supports of muon detectors

Keywords

Topology optimization, support structures

Problem

Muon detectors are to be huge components to be arranged in vertical circles to detect particles in the Future Circular collider at CERN. These detectors are to be supported by a structure that meets the accuracy and stiffness requirements on the detectors. The project aims to develop a method to design the support structures.

Goal

The goal is to develop a design method to find the topology of the support structures considering different boundary conditions and manufacturing methods.
