  1. Previous CPP meeting: Jan 27, 2021
  2. Announcements
  3. CPP and NPP Readiness Review
  4. Microscope move to 6 GeV (Richard)
    1. Review of concepts (Richard)
      • Nice overview of how the microscope is adjusted. The angle of electrons crossing the focal plane (beta) is about 12 degrees at the nominal 9 GeV coherent peak. At 6 GeV, beta ~ 9.5-8.5.
      • The change in angle is referred to as the "toe"
      • 17 fiber bundles in groups of 6 fibers need to be adjusted. One bundle, called a "popsicle stick", consists of 6 fibers, but groups of 3 are offset along the electron trajectory.
      • Three jig pieces need to be fabricated: a wedge to set the beta angle for the first fiber and two pieces that set the rails that hold the fibers
      • The change in beta from 12 deg -> 9 deg results in the length of the microscope along the focal plane increasing by about 30%.
    2. Mechanics (James McTyre)
      • Files have been recovered, but final iterations need to be verified
      • Design changes for the 6 GeV peak are needed
      • Promised to complete changes by April and write down detailed alignment procedure.
  5. CPP Configuration (Elton)
  6. Discussion (All)
    • Installing the hodoscope and microscope to cover the same region should be feasible
    • James: the fan cooling electronics might create pressure on the hodoscope pmts and might need adjustments.
    • Precise location of microscope.
    • Richard: For GlueX, the microscope is positioned to cover the coherent peak + 15% margin
    • Homework for CPP: Suggest margins and precise location of peak for the "6 GeV" position.
  7. Next Meeting
    • Elton will reconvene the group in March to check progress.
