  • Checking crystals
Visual inspection: 5 min per crystal
Dimension measurement: 10 min per crystal
Transmission check: 20 min per crystal (Optional)
Measure light yield using radioactive source: 20 min per crystal (Optional)
Measure light yield using PS setup: 12 modules in the PS setup.
  • PMT checking
Diameter check


  • Preparation of silicon cookie
- Mix RTV625, remove bubbles
- Pour to the gluing fixture (prepare 36 cookies can order one more fixture)
- Set time: 1 day, full cure time: 4 - 5 days
- Time: 3 - 4 hours to load the fixture


Module Fabrication

  • Brazing straps
Time per module: 20 min
  • ESR shaping
