  1. ATLAS Tile Hadron CalorimeteratUIUC Dave Petersen, North Park University Working under HEPG Prof. Steve Errede

  2. Quality Control • After welding, various measurements must be taken to ensure that each submodule meets the design requirements • We must also check each individual slot for the tiles to make sure the tiles will fit

  3. 3 Kinds of Measurements • Height • Perpendicularity • Bolt Holes

  4. QC Man • Claremont suggests a designated QC Man

  5. QC Analysis • Graphs up the wazoo!!

  6. QC - Height • Design Height = 291.7 +0.3 -1.5 mm • All within design tolerances

  7. QC - Height • QC Sheet

  8. QC - 3D Model • Tack Weld • Load plate causes sloping • Final Weld • Final weld causes shrinking at the corners

  9. QC - Perpendicularity • QC Sheet

  10. QC - Perpendicularity • UIUC Submodules tend to be perpendicular at all points

  11. QC - Bolt Holes • Design Separation for Bolt Holes from one weld bar to the other is 325.00 +/- 0.2 mm • Design Bolt Hole Height on each weld is 110 +/-0.2 mm

  12. QC - Bolt Holes • Weld bars pulled in after final weld • UIUC tends to produce submodules that have weld bars which are slightly off center - about 0.2 mm below the center of the submodule

  13. Production Status • 62 done, only 130 more to go!!

  14. PMT Testing • UIUC will perform test on the PMT’s that will measure • PMT Performance • PMT Rate Dependence • PMT Drift/Stability/Aging Studies • UIUC will receive testing boxes shortly

  15. Test Each PMT Twice • Using LabView, UIUC will test each Hamamatsu R-7787 PMT twice, once in the Dark box and once in the Light box • Test 1 will use DC Light • Test 20 PMTs per 2 days • Test 2 will use Pulsed Light • Test 20 PMTs per day

  16. What I’ve Learned • Multi-national project has just as many disadvantages as advantages • Lab Machinists are a rare kind of people (see next slide) • Hands-on physics is for me

  17. Thanks To • Dr. Steven Errede • Dave Forshier • Henri Cordier • And Fred Cogswell, who when left the project gave this farewell
