Agenda

China trip report (Sasha)

Attendees: Sasha, Josh, Liping, Simon

Sasha, Liping and Zhenyu (Jane) visited the Shanghai Ceramic Institute
- Institute looks good visually
- The institute has 2 rooms for growing crystals
  - Can grow 2 at time, takes about 3 weeks to grow 30 crystals
  - Will operate 4 ovens for our job
  - On schedule to deliver first crystals in November
- Institute has test facility for light transmission and light yield with radioactive source
  - Will compare our measurement to theirs
- Plan is for Jane to work on QA (visual inspection,...) with the institute
  - Working on plan with Rolf and Eugene for paying Wuhan -- service contract?
Need 2-3 FTEs for assembly,etc. of crystals -- potential for manpower from Yerevan?
Frame design for FCAL-II underway, progress on insert in global design, plan to stay with existing FCAL frame
- Plan to meet with Tim in next 1-2 weeks
Small scale prototype for stacking and other tests
- Josh is working on design for single-crystal assembly that will allow placing a set of 12 in a box for study with beam using the pair spectrometer
- Some details still need to worked out
  - Brass straps need to be thicker (25 micron -> 50 micron) or maybe make from stainless steel?
  - Stress analysis, tests
  - Light guide dimensions
  - Cookies for crystal-light guide connection -- how much pressure is needed? what material?
  - To glue or not to glue LG to PMT? Probably glue.
- Need to build more modules, but Josh first wants to bring first module "best guess design" to completion
