DC-DC Converter Development for the Mu3e Experiment — •Sophie Gagneur for the Mu3e collaboration — Institut für Kernphysik , JGU Mainz
The Mu3e experiment under construction at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland, aims to search for the lepton flavour violating decay of a muon into one electron and two positrons with an ultimate sensitivity of one in 1016 muon decays. The Mu3e detector consists of High-Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HV-MAPS) for an accurate track and vertex reconstruction combined with scintillating tiles and fibres for precise timing measurements. The entire detector and front-end electronics are located in the 1m diameter bore of a 1T superconducting magnet. A compact power distribution system based on custom DC-DC converters provide the detector ASICs and readout FPGAs with supply voltages of 1.1V to 3.3V with currents up to 30A per channel. 126 converters are placed as close as possible to the detector and provide 9kW of power in total. The talk presents the development process of the Mu3e DCDC converters and the results of recent prototype tests.
