FDC Update
CDC Update
- The gas lines and outer shell have been installed.
- The CDC has been reoriented vertically for stringing.
- So far rows 1-4, 13-16, 25, have been strung and 26 is in progress. There are 2 more straight rows to do after row 26.
- Between stringing sessions the techs are also making measurements of wire tension and practising soldering. Most wires are within 5% of the specified tension (30g).
- The production documents are being updated (nearly finished).
- We have to start work on the TDR updating.
- Naomi's latest resolution studies with the CDC protoype are here: CDC prototype latest
Using a high threshold to find the peak followed by an earlier lower threshold to give the time gives much better resolution than using one threshold for both.
- Curtis asked about the new fADC, Beni and Eugene said that there would be a preproduction run of 20 which would be available in the spring.
- Curtis offered CMU's help with testing electronics.
