AWAKE spectrometer meeting

Wednesday 29 Mar 2017, 12:00 → 13:00 Europe/Zurich

Present: Fearghus, Ishkhan, Lawrence, Matthew, Simon, Stefano

 

Stefano / Fearghus

- Enclosure of optical table.

  - Two versions: one larger (1.9 m high and our table), one smaller (move table and smaller table ?) For such a room, cost ~ 50 kCHF.

     -> Stefano to ask Ans and Vincent why so much ?  And decrease cost if possible ?

  -> Also check on box-like enclosures for optical path.

- Discussed supports with design office.

  -> ESO people to do a vibration analysis.

-> Simon should be cc'ed on discussions.

-> Stefano/Ishkhan to ask for latest CAD model.

 

Fearghus

- Window on fire door.

  - Others (e.g. Karl) use ~ 1mm thick piece of glass.  Need to know size of window

    -> Stefano can look at simulation to determine size.

    -> Do we need to simulate the effect of this window ?

        - Probably not: we want as thin as possible and optical glass.

- Scintillator screen.

  - Could not be cut with CNC machine.

    -> What else could it be cut with (Stefano / Ishkhan to find out) ?

    -> Simon to ask Derek Attree.

  -> Lawrence to send Scintacor screen to CERN.  Waiting on quote for delivery.

  -> Order for other (DRZ) screens has gone through.

- Cooler has been ordered.

- Has a vacuum window in his office.

 

Lawrence

- Working on background simulations

 

Next meeting, Wednesday 12 April 12:00 midday (CERN time).
