Minutes

Present: Hovanes Egiyan, Jim Fochtman, Mark Ito, Chris Keith, Tim Whitatch

• 500 gauss on cold head is max. Is this ok • cool in one shift • average diameter of target: is that OK? needs to be decided • length of target: can this be finalized • Max OD of scattering chamber driven by start counter, CDC in turn • what is alignment requirement for target? • how well do we have to know the density of the liquid

Additional requirements

• quality of scattering chamber vacuum: prevent freezing material on target • flammable gas compatible • interlock nearby electrical systems/ignition sources if target cell ruptures ∘ hydrogen gas sensors will be needed ∘ pressure switch on vacuum chamber • stainless steel tubing • welding whenever possible

P&I

• Tanks outside connect to single line • vent line to go outside hall, manual valve • vacuum pump needs explosion proof motoer

P&I 2

• mount gas panel outside hall, changing gas could be done without access, still manual

Other considerations

• could put gas panel and control electronics in the "target" rack • electronics ∘ temperature controller ∘ nice: local visual read-back for pressure transducers ∘ turbo controller for scattering chamber ∘ vacuum gauge controller • these designs allow automatic transition to gas in cell, but not vacuum

Next frontier

• mechanical design for target condenser, cell, scattering chamber • may not want to have cold head to provide mechanical support • Jim will contact Chris to work out issues before the next meeting
