Study of alternative serial powering systems for the future ILC tracker

The International Linear Accelerator (ILC) is the currently proposed electron-positron linear collider to complement the proton-proton Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN. One of the main problems foreseen for the ILC detectors is the need for a low material budged on the interaction region. Also, due to its foreseen high density electronics on the tracker, a more efficient way of powering the system is required. In this paper we describe a first step for the development of a power system that can fulfill the ILC calls for low mass and low power. Initially a basic mathematic model of the problem is introduced followed by the description of a proposed system test concept.
