Glove Box. • Glove box parameters considered: • 2.5m long 1.3m wide, 1.5m tall • Row with three pair of gloves on each side • May need an upper row of gloves too • Humidity control system inside the box • ~250 l/h flushing gas system • Full size door on one side • Pumpable antechamber on the other side • Electrical and gas communications in/out • Detector positioning system inside the box • Shelves, boxes etc • Quotes: • There are preliminary quotes form several companies (Mbraun, Innovative Technology, CoyLab etc…) ranging about $40k • Rich Hutter is investigating “do-it-yourself” quote. • Craig mentioned that JLab GB was cheaper. To be looked up. • Timing: • Best case scenario: We get OK for MRI money in April, SUNYSB can possibly borrow against that money in May, plus the delivery takes 6-8 weeks July… quite late Sasha Milov HBD upgarde Feb 8, 2005
Other needs. • Evaporator: • Works, requires a lot of nursing to operate properly. • Needs minor adjustments to make a final size of GEM. • Has $20k money reserved in MRI for upgrade. • Evaporator-to-box transfer system. • Gas system: • Needs quite simple gas system (cylinderreducerexhaust) for N2/Ar and CF4. Something we can put together in the tent at SUNYSB. • Other: • Do we need a U-sonic washer for GEMs? Now or later? • Tools, soldering station, consumables etc. Need to make a list and order ahead of time, but quite clear most items are at hand. Sasha Milov HBD upgarde Feb 8, 2005
Testing • Gas testing: • Crucial for prototype: How pure gas we can achieve and how fast? • Can start measurement as soon as the detector is closed. The final system with monochromator would certainly do the job. • The same problem with money as with the GB ($80k). • Might need to find something cheaper and less fancy. • Performance test: • Iron source signal monitoring. • Cosmic ray (below threshold) test • No photocathode QE test is foreseen. Shall we do it? • Any Beam tests? Sasha Milov HBD upgarde Feb 8, 2005
