FDC Update
- There are some problems with wire planes 1 and 2 not holding HV, not caused by the wires but by the frame where the capacitors are soldered...
- So far 8 cathode planes and 3 wire are frames ready, cannot put them together until the wire dampening/beam blocking material arrives.
- Simon is looking at the benefit of moving the last FDC frame slightly upstream for better PID in reconstruction.
CDC Update
- Straw installation - the last stereo row (24) is nearly complete.
- Tension tests - 6 broken wires were found in the 6 strung layers (and will be replaced during the next stringing session). All the wires did pass continuity testing soon after stringing; the tension measurements were made several weeks afterwards. The wires all broke in or near to the crimp pin. We plan to remeasure the tension in the other wires.
- A few of the CDC photos taken by CMU's photographer are on line.[CDC photos]
- The wire hookup prototype is finished and is being used for wiring practice. [PCB hookup prototype]
- Tim has sent out the cheeseplate spec to some vendors for comment prior to bidding. Labelling every hole will be cost-prohibitive so this might be reduced to 10% of the holes. We will have to accept stock material (polycarbonate), Tim will double-check that clear polycarbonate was specified.
