  17. TEST: vary Q1-3 Leff to check possible systematics Question: can we be so wrong in determining Leff ? UKNF meeting - Trinity College, Oxford - 15/16 Sep 2008

  18. Other reasons? a) efficiency of GVA1/GVA2? No we consider relative increase in count rate b) alignment? Less certain ... HOWEVER: bear in mind, a factor 2 while we miss ~ x500 so ... ... Pion production (i.e. Target dipping) is AN ISSUE for the Beam Line. This changes the way we have been considering it so far UKNF meeting - Trinity College, Oxford - 15/16 Sep 2008

  19. Hi Marco Sorry for the late response but I have just returned from a week on leave. Peter has already filled you in on the mechanical "run on" tests we completed a week or so ago so I won't write anymore on that. The relay driver board design was finished just before we started the tests, but as there are still a few issues with the diffuser that may need some redesign I have put the manufacture of the board on hold until I know whether I need to make any additions to the design. The tests indicated that the control logic will need to be changed (if we don't add anymore solenoid valves to the air crate) so I will be working on this over the next few weeks, while the electronics crate will also need some minor changes. Both these tasks will be carried out between other CEG work commitments. I'm sorry I can't put a definite date on completion of this work at the moment. I have received several emails from RAL requesting answers to questions regarding the installation (electronics issues) so I will try to answer these as soon as possible. Cheers, Mike. • Hi Marco, • The device has currently tested with running the air motors. We found several problems with the design, some of them you may have known. • The linear driving of the carrier disc forwards and backwards along the cylindrical drum:- • We are now trying to use an encoder to govern the travelling of the carrier to prevent it hitting the bottom (it will jam there if it goes too far). The 2 micro-switch will still be used for emergency only • The driving of the bayonet pin:- • The length between holding point of motor shaft and the point of reaction force was too long and the holding area was too small that cause the motor shaft bouncing offs the gear due to large deflection on the shaft. • The motor/gear box holder has been re-designing to increase the stiffness.   • The driving of the carousel:- • The gear box used hasn’t got enough output power to drive the carousel when the heaviest lead disc was put on 1 holder leaving other holders empty. Also the motor shaft was bent due to the same phenomena as above stated in item 2. • The worm wheel and gear with 65:1 ratio will be used to replace the old design and also a new motor holder bracket has been re-designing to increase the stiffness. • For the response time / residue air in the air tube when the motors stop:- • It had also been tested that the 16 meter long air tube would affect the response time when the motors stops. With a short pipe ~ 3 meters, the overrun distance is about 0.02mm when the air stops. With 17 meter, the overrun distance is ~ 0.04 to 0.08 mm when the sir stops. • The micro-switch has 0.3 mm travelling distance before it reach its end. Therefore, the 2 micro switches will still be safe to place at the bottom of the cylindrical drum. • This is also found that the back pressure was created when the valve shuts before the air exhausts out. • Mike Dawson will design the logic sequence to ensure the residue air exhaust from the pipe before the valves shut. • The magnetic effect on the air motors:- • It is proved that the motors can be kaput when running under magnetic field. • We will replace all 3 motors by non-magnetised one and Mike Tacon had contacted the supplier Briggs Air motor last week to specify our requirement. • We are working in the positive direction to solve the above problems though there was some setback during tests. It’s not too bad as we discovered the problem earlier and all seems to have solutions. • You are welcome to give us advice on any tests that you think we may need to go through. • Regards, • Peter UKNF meeting - Trinity College, Oxford - 15/16 Sep 2008
