Neutrinos offer insight into such fundamental questions as the dominance of matter over antimatter, the dynamics of supernovae, and the large scale structure of the universe. NOvA (NUMI Off-axis Neutrino Oscillations) is an experiment that will measure crucial neutrino properties using a Near Detector at Fermilab, where the neutrinos are generated in the NuMI beam, and a large Far Detector in Ash River, MN, 735 km from Fermilab. The main objective of this experiment is the measurement of the parameters associated with the oscillation of muon to electron neutrinos.
Indiana University with funding from the NSF and DOE are responsible for building and testing the water-cooled heat sinks required for the thermal and environmental control of the Avalanche Photodiodes used in the light detection generated in the Liquid Scintillator. The heat sinks have a brass body with a TEC chip that cools the APD to -15 C. The water system that conducts the 5 W generated by the thermal control has been designed to withstand a maximum pressure of 100 psi. Several of the construction techniques and QC tests performed will be described.
