Abstract:

The paper describes the integration aspects of the ALICE Muon Arm upgrade, the beam-pipe support in particular. Two options were considered. The test bench built in order to estimate the uncertainties in the mechanical analysis caused by the bellow model was described. It was also demonstrated that simple model of the bellows gives reasonable description of the results.
