Agenda
- Announcements
- FDC Update logbook
- CDC Update
- Update on the new straws (Pictures).
- The scratches are gone.
- Acceptance rate has been 104 out of 108 straws. After cutting open the four rejects, we concluded that three also would have been acceptable. The one failure is a glueball on the straw (we are writing the paper now).
- The straws are much cleaner than anything we have seen before, so we are looking modifying our cleaning procedure.
- Lamina told us the straws are manufactured in a clean room and any dust we see can only be mylar dust ( and we do not see very much at all).
- Lamina is going to do production with an interior carton so we can clear all the packing material away before opening the inner case.
- Update on the new straws (Pictures).
- Our pneumatic glue injection supplier also supplies epoxies (Elsworth Adhesives). We have gotten a better price for our conducting epoxy from them. The glue is also sold in a better dispenser system -- basically a dual cartridge syringe with a very short mixing chamber. They also have a shorter (10 day) lead time than McMaster Carr. Cheaper price, less waste, quicker mixing.
- We have 50/50 AR-CO2 premix.
- Update on noise studies with the new preamplifier ([1]).
