Short prototype:
Zdenko:
- new shielding installed on the prototype
- the source can be put inside: Sr on top of the upper scintillator, Fe upside down underneath the straws
- gas tightness test revealed loss of Argon (and possibly pollution with air) after 14h (both HV boards are new) - but not all screws are in the board
Peter:
- testing the old boards because of oscillations
Hans:
- it would be good to have a leak detector
Intermediate prototype:
Tonio&François:
- preparatory work to be done before gas panel installation in the new lab (rack for bottles outside, piping, ...)
- we can reuse some valves from NA62
Zuzana&Hans:
- tooling needed for wiring, (the idea) to be reused also for the long prototype
- gas panel installation in the new lab - under preparation
Michal:
- will prepare a cover/shielding in 3 parts
Long 124-straw prototype:
Temur:
- ~70 straws delivered, some 2.4m, some shorter (spares)
- 2.4m straws were pressurized at 6 bar
- some straws are slightly bigger (~10-20um)
- will try with a new machine, first with 19um tape, then with 12um
- Tonio will give one 19um tape
Zuzana&Hans:
- 500 crimp tubes from Minitubes delivered
- straw plugs from Vink delivered
- placed an order for HV plugs and HV caps (Vink, DK)
Tonio&Francois:
- ordered screws, washers and other small parts
