AWAKE spectrometer meeting

→ Europe/Zurich

Present: Fearghus, Ishkhan, Matthew, Stefano

 

Stefano

- See slides

  -> Different sized holes, e.g. 1mm and 2mm, in two left-most black bars.

  - Otherwise happy with mask.

  - Blinkers can be attached either to the light support or vacuum window.  Constraints are just that we might want to access the scintillator, window, etc.

  -> Need frame for fire-door window.  Stefano to get this going.

  -> Discuss hole in the wall next week at the integration meeting.

 

Ishkhan

- 1 small and 1 big mirror coated; 1 more to do.  Spares left as are.

- Aluminium camera mount being done.  

-> Tripod can be taken down to hall this afternoon.  Sign on tripod saying that it should not be moved.

-> Get screen DRZ cut today.  Keep cut-offs for sticky tape tests.

 

Fearghus

- Light switch for experimental area being installed on Monday

- Found appropriate lens for Basler camera.

- Double-sided sticky tape arriving today.

- Fluid for cooler on its way.

- Hose between cooler and camera is on its way.

- Discussed with Phillip de Witt measuring distances and aligning screen with rest of experiment.

- Light and screen can be within ~20 cm for both to be in focus.

-> What's missing from technical description

    - Mirror mounts + vibrational analysis

    - Calibration lamp

    - Calibration for full screen from e.g. background.

    - Safety circuit

    - Dark room

    - ...

 

Will have next meeting during week of 28/August when Matthew (and Simon ?) in CERN.
