Production

- Dave for the spare parts: working on the last cathodes #87, 88, 89. These have been tensioned and we are working now on the daughter cards. We will build also an extra-spare cathode #90; the foils has been glued for it.

- As Casey proposed after the collaboration meeting, he replaced the six deadened wires (deadened area of 6cm diameter) of wire plane #2 with new wires. This will allow us to make 7.8cm deadened area, that is needed for the second package. The wires are glued, will be soldered tomorrow and the tension tested.

- Spare wire plane #6 with wires strung but without HV caps, has been tested: 600/-60nA at 2100/-500V. Now Anatoly is installing the caps.

- Package #2: the grounding and the cooling tubes have been installed. Chris and Nick will come on Monday to do the HV connections. So far the package is still sitting on the mounting table.

Rebaselining update

- We are filling the html templates that Eugene created for each activity. Where available we link documents with more details (see the file linked above and click on the 25211191 activity for ex.). Eugene wanted to have all the activities finished in this manner by the middle of the next week.
