Upgrade/RadiationTestBirmingham

Three types of samples:

• A: glue mechanics tests (see picture)

  * number of samples: three (different types of glue: StycastFT2850, EP37-3FLFAO, Polytec TC423)
  * assembly: titanium (1.8mm), adhesive, 0.2mm), silicon (0.5 mm)
  * size: 42mm x 14mm x 2.5mm
  * desired radiation load: 2x10^15 1-MeV-neutron equivalent / cm^2
  * radiated surface: preferable entire surface (too large?)

• B: glue heat conductivity tests (see picture)

  * number of samples: three (different types of glue: StycastFT2850, EP37-3FLFAO, Polytec TC423)
  * assembly: aluminium (2mm), adhesive (10mm), aluminium (2mm)
  * size: 12mm x 14mm x 2mm
  * desired radiation load: 2x10^15 1-MeV-neutron equivalent / cm^2
  * radiated surface: over the adhesive layer

• C: RF box coating tests (see picture)

  * number of samples: three (different types of coating: Torlon, Polyurethane, XXX)
  * assembly: aluminium (1mm) on both sides covered with very thin layer of coating
  * size: minimally 1x1cm (size can b increased, if that makes it easier to handle samples)
  * desired radiation load: 1x10^16 1-MeV-neutron equivalent / cm^2
  * radiated surface: ideally over entire surface, but probably a 'spot' profile is acceptable as well
