Evaluate both the PMT characteristics’ impacts on MH hierarchy and the cost. Finished 20” PMT bidding at end of 2015:
– Optimization of fluors concentration
– Good raw solvent LAB – Online handling/purification
extraction, Nitrogen stripping, … To be tested with Daya Bay detector
– No Gd, Less risk. Singles<~3Hz (>0.7MeV), with U/Th <10-15 g/g,
40K< 10-16 g/g

Only consider the statistical impact on chi2 from accidental background: Divide LS into equal-mass-bin, calculate the c2 contribution from each shell, then

The maximum stress of acrylic is concentrated at connecting nodes How to reduce the stress on acrylic node?
Worst stress case: the total vertical load is ~2600t, ~560 connecting nodes will carry it
Type B
and tensile area
High tensile strength Type A High compressive strength
spring Adjust the stiffness of some connecting bars
How to improve the load distribution on bars?
Acrylic stress is a critical issue for engineering design.

Forming panel size: 3m x 8m x 120mm Prototype of spherical panel The problems of shrinkage and shape variation were resolved. Three companies had good practices. Acrylic divided into 200+ panels

Made the final decision last year
Put most of electronics underwater and sealed with BASE, HV together. Use the single CAT5+ cable to transfer data, hit, clock, power and trigger
Front part under-water Backend part- ”Dry” part
potting, electronics and HV
Flash ADC of 1GHz Out of water
26 The conceptual design of JUNO PMT Potting
Status:
thermo-conductivity is ongoing
Potting requirement became higher
Adhesive or oil Waterproof sealant
SS cover Acrylic cover small holes Openings
27
upper cover: Acrylic lower cover: Stainless Steel
Protection requirement:
Distance (m) Pressure (MPa)
Shock wave from bare PMT has been measured in JUNO conditions:
Test the performance of various PMTs’ performances, the PMT potting, supporting structure, electronics, HV, reliability, etc.
