FDC prototype magnet test status (Simon T.)
From GlueXWiki
During the summer shutdown we will be performing tests of the small-scale prototype in a magnetic field using the old pair spectrometer magnet in the Hall-B downstream alcove. The status is as follows:
- Electronic racks have been installed in Hall-B downstream alcove
- Safety documentation under preparation, first draft to Bert Manzlak
- Daniel arranged to borrow 8 small wire chambers from IU, expect them soon (later this week?)
- Gas bottles have been ordered
- Test lab setup has been dismantled, ready to recable in Hall-B later this week/early next week
- I have obtained another F1 TDC from Fernando
- May need to design supports for scintillators, external drift chambers. Plan will come into focus after making some measurements in the alcove.
- Initial replumbing/magnet checkout will take place early August
