Abstract

Drift chambers in the compact muon solenoid (CMS) detector are piled modular structures joined together by a structural adhesive. This structure is used for the detection and tracking of high energy particles—particularly muons. According to Fourier’s law, the conductance of a multilayered drift chamber prototype can be measured using a simple device based on the thermal transience between two heat sinks. The heat gradients in the global CMS detector in operation at the European Council for Nuclear Research are estimated in this way. The resultant values are used to determine whether to include a forced cooling device in the CMS.
