Production
- Dave (see the construction tracking): Continued with stringing wire frame#4. Wire frame#3 is waiting for soldering second phase component (Chris will do it together with Tina). Cell#5: one cathode ready, working on the second (type 2) cathode. Cell#6: working on the first cathode.
- Waiting for the chemicals for the wire deadening; probably will start testing the procedure beginning of next week. Bill: what is the wire diameter needed to deaden the wire? Lubomir: according to Garfield if we make sense wires 40um signal drops by factor of 40, for 60um - factor of 400, and for 80um -factor of 2,700. After some discussions, Bill will look what is the sagging effect of thickening the wires and Lubomir will estimate the suppression factor that we need.
