Minutes
Attendees: Jane,Zisis,Jared,Liping,Phil,Sasha,Tim B.,Igal,Bill B.
- Sasha continued the light transmittance measurements: 5 good + 5 discolored
- Two crystals below spec at 360 nm but okay at higher wavelengths
- Agree with SICCAS measurements -- no red flags
- Will try UV curing in January
- Completed construction of 4 crystal modules, one with PMT
- Rusty-looking module was constructed 6 months ago - should we add a layer of paint?
- Have enough components for 12 modules
- Will be getting assistance from Tim W.'s group for mass production
- Josh working on ESR preshaping -- can do 2 at time in our oven, but Hall C has a larger oven
- Need to check cookie size (we make them ourselves)
- Open question is temperature control for brazing and amount of flux
- Work on procedure in coming weeks
- 25% tariff for crystals still an issue, could impact order of next batch
- May need smaller insert size
- PMT base design converging, tests to measure linearity of amplifier
- Maybe we don't need the 3x amplifier?
