A meeting to discuss issues of engineering and integration for present and future tracking systems.

Like last year, the Forum on Tracking Detector Mechanics will be organised together with the DRD8 collaboration meeting. The Forum will have the usual duration of 3 days, and the DRD8 collaboration meeting will take 2 days. 

Topics include

• Detector cooling
• Deflection, stability and precision of the structures, achieved and revisited requirements for the next generation
• Thermal expansion differences inside the detector
• Mass and therefore radiation length of mechanics, cables and pipes
• Humidity
