Possible issues with lead glass module

  1. Broken lead glass, see Fig. 1 (module taken from the FCAL prototype)
    • some problems can be seen by some problems can be seen by looking on the lead glass block from the side opposite to the PMT
    • lead glass module has to be disassembled; the glass block has to be replaced.
  2. Issues with wrapping:
    • small damages (holes) in the Aluminized mylar, see Fig. 2. This can be fixed by using Al sticky tape, thickness < 20 um
    • Aluminum layer in the wrapping foil peels off or adheres to the glass block (penetrates into the block):
      • Fig. 3 and Fig. 4: Aluminum layer peeled off resulting in some transparent holes in wrapping.
      • Recommend to disassemble and re-wrap the lead glass block
  3. Issues with Silicon cookies and PMT
    • look inside the crystal from the side opposite to the PMT
