Show room on map

Present: Candy, Fearghus, Ishkhan, Lawrence, Marco, Matthew, Nicolas, Simon, Stefano

 

Nicolas - Mirror supports

- Supports look okay, also the vibrational analysis (see later) so we are close to launching production.

  - Adjustment holder for 3 mirrors is ready.

  - Large support frame needs one more week, so realistically finish end of next week.

  -> Need to circulate final designs so people can check and sign off.

- Need to show to CERN workshop and they then decide whether they can do it or need to get an outside company.

- Cost ~ 10 kCHF.

- Have all supports by end of July.

-> Position in tunnel ? And pre-alignment ?  Mark floor in the hall ?  All to start soon.

All needed for installation end of August, beginning of September.

 

Marco - vibrational analysis

- See document on vibration analysis.

- Blur of 3.6 mum (+-1.8 mum) in diameter is how much the image will move at the camera lens.  This is insignificant.  Also exposure-time dependent so can have shot-to-shot fluctuations.

 

All - Dark room

- Ishkhan in touch with company on laser curtains and waiting to hear back about fire safety.

  -> Once we know whether it is in principle possible, can then proceed further.

- Also discussed having lights off and a failsafe in the camera to ensure the MPC does not trigger if lights are on.

  -> Assess how effective this failsafe is.

-> Fearghus to make a list of pros and cons.

 

Ishkhan - scintillator screen

- Screen should be cut to size by early next week and will then return to Fearghus.

 

Meeting again in ~two weeks when more progress on the above
