- Announcements: Curtis is in Italy.
- FDC Update
- Continue with the stacking of the fourth package. The last three cells will be installed by the end of the week.
- Testing first production wire frames, that will be spares. First one can't be used, have to build a new one. The second one was fixed (a spot from a chemical was removed) but still showing high currents. For these frames we used Epolite (epoxy) that is highly susceptible to humidity, so we hope after flushing with gas the frame will work.
- Working on pre-amp assignment to the electronics. The cards with highest rates at the center of the chambers are combined with those at the periphery to equalize the loads on the modules.
- Data taken with a 55Fe source and fADC125 using a strip for triggering show no long tails after the main pulse; this must be a feature only of the CDC detector/pre-amps.
- CDC Update
- Construction: the team are mid-way through row D, see photos.
The yellow labels are temporary. When each board has been completed, the other technician checks the board, looking at pin to pad matching, soldering and makes a visual check that the wire completely covers the crimp pin. A second check is made by Gary or Naomi. We have a file containing the maps for each board, with any changes in pin to pad assignments noted. The technicians are also maintaining an electronic file with the pin to pad assignments. The assignments are sometimes altered deliberately in order to make the wiring easier for a neighboring board.
