Lead glass module:

Lead glass length: 45 cm

Silicon cookie thickness: 2 mm

Light guide: length 2 inches (5.08 cm), diameter D = 1.25 inches

PMT length: 10 cm ( + 9 mm including pins)

PMT divider length: 17 cm

Total length: 45 + 5 + 10 + 17 = 77 cm (30.3 inches)


Disassemble Lead Glass Module



Step 1: Inspect lead glass module (see corresponding section) to make sure the the module has to be disassembled.

Step 2. Loose screws on the flange attached to the PMT housing

Step 3. Remove steel strap assembly holding together the PMT housing and lead glass block

Step 4. Remove silicon cookie (note the cookie may stick to the glass block; use a wood stick to scrub if needed)

Step 5. Remove aluminized mylar wrapped around the glass block. Note, the Al Mylar thickness is about 13 um; the Mylar joint is positioned under the strap (no sticky tape is used on the joint)
