Scientific paper

Nova, an experiment that will study oscillation of neutrinos and ordering of neutrino masses, consists of a 200-ton detector on the Fermilab site (near detector) and a 14,000 ton detector in Northern Minnesota (far detector). These detectors require a massive amount of photodetectors (12,500 in all), called Hamamatsu Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs). These APDs require a stable temperature of -15C. I will describe tests of heat sink and thermoelectric cooler (TEC) designs (taken at Indiana University) to meet specifications for the APDs. These tests were done as a student in an REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) during the summer of 2009.
