Description
The Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) is a proposed next-generation particle physics facility that will enable precision measurements of the Higgs boson and the electroweak sector. Achieving these physics goals requires a highly integrated interaction region, where the Machine–Detector Interface (MDI) must accommodate several detector and accelerator components within a very limited space.
Specifically, the goal is to successfully integrate the beam pipe, the LumiCal forward detector, the vertex detector, and all their services within the integration region. This must be done without sacrificing performance, requiring strict attention to the material budget, spatial constraints, and mechanical stability.
This work presents the preliminary mechanical integration design of the LumiCal and its interface with the QC1 cryostat. Although the study focuses on the LumiCal, the design is developed in the context of the full interaction region to ensure compatibility with the surrounding MDI components. An initial 3D CAD model and service routing layout are presented to evaluate the available integration space, identify the main mechanical constraints, and provide a starting point for future design iterations.
