AWAKE spectrometer meeting

→ Europe/Zurich

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

 

Stefano

- Vibrational studies, see document on indico.

  - Bottom line is image displacement of 3.6 mum which looks to be no problem.

    -> What is "image displacement" ?  Need to clarify.

         - Assuming this is okay, then can sign off on the mounts.

  - So we expect to not see any issues for a given shot, but may see some small shot-to-shot variations.

- Received filters for camera lens.

  -> To be mounted

 

Ishkhan

- Can cut screens.  Material and dimensions which been provided.

  -> Just cut one first.

  -> Fearghus to check dimensions of screen received.

 

Fearghus

Dark room around camera.

- Price estimate of 25 kCHF.

  -> What are the itemised costs ? Still do not understand why it is so much 

- [Spencer] proposed having dark curtains which are dark and fire safe.

  -> Issue: radiation safety.  Ans in discussion with company.

  -> Issue: can they match the geometry of the area.

  -> Have a solid piece around ventilation pipe to make light-tight ?

  -> Ventilation in the area ?

  -> Fearghus asked for a quote of one of his designs.

Window in fire door

-> Requested quotes for a glass window of different thicknesses.

Optical table

- Ans would like us to have a smaller table.  May come back to.

 

Michele 

Choice of scope

- See slides

- Choice of LeCroy and Tektronix

  -> Michele prefers LeCroy as the control program looks well thought out.  Tektronix has a web interface.

  -> [Fearghus] to request LeCroy scope.

 

Lawrence

- Shielding for spectrometer system with a collimator in front of quadrupoles.

  - Can reduce backgrounds by up to factor of 10.

  -> Back-scattering for the other diagnostics in front of it ?

  -> Can we effectively have shielding (e.g. concrete) on one side ?
