- Dave: Fourth cell was installed yesterday in the fourth package. Working also on several spare cathodes. Right after the meeting we installed the fifth one. The plan was to install the last cell on Friday, however, after the meeting we found a bad channel (cut on copper trace) on one cathode that will require more time for fixing; therefore we will finish with the fourth package installation on Monday.

- Dave: Installation of the fourth package was compleeted on Monday. Today Vlad noticed that one cathode in the middle was positioned incorrectly (15deg off). We discussed if it is possible to lift the top three cells together, correct the cathode position and then put the three cells back. For that we pull down the installation pins (one by one) to the right position to separate only the top three cells and then insert from the top additional pins to keep to top part together. After the meeting this operation was done successfully. Three of the pins we did like this, for the other three we pushed the top pins further down so that it was easier to insert the top part in the right place.

We can use this technique to separate part of the package if we have to fix something there.  
  
- The second production wire frame: there was a bad HV sector showing ~20MOhm field to sense wires resistance while the other three were OK. Two wires, which pads were covered by the copper sulfide spill there, were replaced by Casey including the epoxy around them that was most likely contaminated by the chemical.

- Dave showed the scheme (linked above) for the package refurbishment. As we did with the third and fourth packages we will install and test them in two halves. Techs working on the last two spare cathodes and preparing the last two spare wire frames for testing.  
After that we measured the resistance: about 20-30 MOhm and 50-100 MOhm on the other sectors. We recalled that on the first four wire frames we used Epolite that is susceptible to humidity. After flushing the wire frame with gas since Monday today we were able to put 2100/-500V with ~800/-500nA currents, still high but we hope the epoxy will dry and the currents will go down. So far we have one wire frame that can't be used. Eugene suggested not to postpone too much the ordering of the four extra PCB sets.
