AWAKE spectrometer meeting

→ Europe/Zurich

Present: Fearghus, Ishkhan, Matthew, Simon

 

Ishkhan

- Light calibration on linear stage.  See slides.

  - Under development.

  - Parts being ordered.

  - Absolute calibration ?  I.e. relative movement between light stage and screen ?

    -> Should not be an issue once all fixed (?)

    -> Attach legs of stage to spectrometer vacuum vessel (?)

        -> Get light as close to screen as possible.

    -> Why a 14 cm bulb ?  And not something smaller ?  This covers the vertical extent of screen ?  Need something much smaller.

    -> Motors can be controlled remotely.  Done automatically in control software ?

 

Fearghus

- August run:

  - Tripod from BI with camera and lens on it, placed in line with screen.

  -> Look to use (UCL) Nikon lens.

  -> May want to order our own camera, more suited to lens and system.

  -> When new (smaller) optical table comes, swap and remove large table; goes where ?

  -> Ordered double-sided sticky tape for sticking scintillator screen to vacuum.

- Talking to Jan & Phillipe about survey of vacuum chamber and magnet position.

  - Hope to get 0.5 mm accuracy.

-> To work with Michele on camera software.

-> Michele on light breaker circuit:  What is acceptable light ?  To discuss further.

- Transport of 15 MeV electron beam ?  Looking into.

-> Edda has looked at spectrometer tech. doc. ; should be sent out for checks ?  What does this mean; it is not complete ?

 

To meet next week; decide date on Monday when Stefano is back.
