AWAKE spectrometer meeting
AWAKE Spectrometer meeting - 17/Jan/2017
Present: Fearghus, Lawrence, Matthew, Michele, Simon, Stefano
Stefano
- Optical table in final position in experiment: space to move around; note that ground is sloped.
- Done orders for (uncoated) mirrors this morning.
-> Recovered mirrors from GIF facility and to send to Thomas Schneider for testing.
- Updated versions for supports. Focusing on larger mirrors first.
-> Contact ESO people for their opinion on design.
-> Check that components are perpendicular to gravity, ground, or ? Mirrors should be aligned to screen. No wedge ? Check and discuss with design office.
-> UPS: will look into it soon.
Fearghus
- From Integration meeting. Josh and Marlene want to put a table near the spectrometer. It is on the other side of the optical line, but affects the (emergency) access route.
-> To ensure this does not go through light path.
-> "Access" tunnel (between hall and camera) is not needed for anything else and so we can block off as much as we like.
- Old aluminium window received and tested. Is 1.85 mm. Deflection at centre is 0.1 mm.
-> Fearghus looking at effect of air gap and will include in his write-up.
Lawrence
- Latest workpackage description document circulated.
-> Lawrence to update; then Fearghus; then Stefano; and then Michele
- Lens filter
-> Lawrence to check, send around specification and Stefano to order.
- Scintillator screen
-> Sent an e-mail to TMS Vacuum Components who also make these screens
-> Need to phone Scintacor.
- Water cooler
-> Waiting for quote.
Michele
- Working on document describing camera DAQ.
- Acquisition with OASIS / scope ?
- Scope can save everything, e.g. recording for a day and then transferring to PC.
-> Decide once Michele has been to CERN in February.
Simon
- Old model of spectrometer, with beam dump, camera a few metres away, etc. still in the CAD drawings.
-> Detail, send to Fearghus and have them removed.
Next meeting: Tuesday 31 January at 11:00 / 12:00 (UK / CERN)
