The B and Rad tolerant Intermediate Converter (BRIC) is a brand new product of the EASY family built to endure the harsh condition of High Luminosity LHC at CERN.
Its design started in 2016 taking advantage of all the experience CAEN built from the LHC construction and years of operation. A carefully planned test campaign validated all the components up to 200 Gy TID as well as the complete module. This total dose is what is expected to be reached in most of the experimental areas of HL-LHC at the end of 2035.
The magnetic field tests were also performed, and the BRIC 1 has shown efficiencies above 80% up to 0.5 T, not matter the orientation of the field lines with respect of the DC-DC channel and therefore the magnetic coils present on the board.
