Ongoing work to get underground detector lab operational
• Installation of ‘Rn-free’ clean bench and detector test stand
• Start-up of chemistry equipment (DI-water, acids, alcohol): purification of Cu & PTFE, methanol wash of Ge-diode
• transformation into clean room
• Completion: early December

Detector refurbishment:support, contacts & array geometry
Single detector Phase-I detector array
•Design review of contactsand support with Canberra, Olen•Prototypes•Cooperation during refurbishment (if needed) worked out•All materials procured •PTFE and Cu screened

Detector refurbishment:mechanical and thermal prototype
Silicon spring for inner contact
Signal feed through
Result of LN cooling test: replacement of one PTFE part by Si

Detector refurbishment:destruction test: verification of safety factor
•Deformation as expected•Safety factor 3 experimentally confirmed•Material strength increases at LN temperature
Finite element calc.
Destructive test

Cleaning of copper parts
• Electro polished (same procedure as GeMPI detector parts)
• Chemically etched
1% H2SO4 + 3% H2O2 5 min
1% citric acid 5 min
Possible sequence (to be finalized):
1) electro-polishing
2) chemical etching (underground)
100 m
Surface of copper after machining (electro-erosion)

non-enriched prototype diode
• Goal: test contacts & support of system
• Prototype for enriched detector if refurbished at Canberra (Chinese hat)
• 2 kg diode ready for mounting and testing at Olen
• Detector support and contacts in workshop
• Mounting and testing in November/December

Transport and storage container
• Clean storage of diodes after dismounting and after testing
• Electro-polished stainless steal container
• Selected Butyl O-rings (low Rn emanation)

Recovery strategy
Possible failure modes and strategies for recovery worked out with Canberra, Olen
In synthesis: • Dismounting and re-contacting underground at GS w/o
modification of diode • In case of failure (e.g. damage of Ge-oxide passivation
layer, boron implantation) refurbishment at Canberra (Olen) with underground storage in Hades. – Maximize probability to get working diode– Minimize exposure time (~ 1 week) at the prize of moderate
material loss (~ 100 g)Change of Ortec type contacts to Canberra type with grooveCanberra type of passivation
