The goal is to assemble 450 - 500 modules by the end of summer.
 
  
64 CRYTUR crystals available (checked) 250 crystals produced by SICCAS, will be in the
 
lab in February
 
 
100 PMTs are in the lab, expect to receive 400 more by April.

Module Fabrication

  • Brazing straps
Time per module - 20 min
  • ESR shaping
- ESR cutting
- Shape in the oven (2 tools exist, 20 min per cycle]
- Time per module - 20 min
  • Crystal wrapping
- Cut ESR and Tedlar
- Wrap module
- Time per module - 20 min
  • Module fabrication
- Insert mu-metal shield
- Attach PMT housing, set tension screws
- Insert PMT with silicon cookies, set tension plate
- Time per module: 30 min


Total fabrication time: 1.5 hours per module
(5 modules a day, 100 modules a month)
