Alternatives to rohacell shells Tensioned fibers (JA) Light carbon fiber space frame (DH)
More material than naïve tension system, but more than shells Still much less than silicon+cables+cooling
Should be very rigid and self-supporting Facitates gas cooling Permits use of lampshade endcaps
Used in BABAR vertex detector (much smaller scale) Greatly reduces area of silicon to cover a given solid angle Reduces multiple scattering by increasing average andle of
incidence for charged particles Facilitates access
