GEM production facility upgrade Piotr Bielówka RD51, CERN, Dec 2012
Laboratory scale production line, with limitation caused by: • technology • machinery Kapton etching set, Techtra, Wroclaw. RD51, CERN, Dec 2012
Steps towards big GEMs: • to implement „single mask” technique - CERN • to acquirededicated set of PCB machines - WPT Access to EU funds through Wroclaw Technology Park (WPT) - non profit organization. RD51, CERN, Dec 2012
WPT support for the implementation of a research and development project Cost comparison
„Research and development project” – transfer of support from WPT to Techtra RD51, CERN, Dec 2012
WPT Tendering procedure inconvenient for suppliers: TECHTRA External Validation Board BROKER CERN PRODUCER PRODUCER PRODUCER PRODUCER RD51, CERN, Dec 2012
EU tendering rules means: • long lasting procedure • bidders claims RD51, CERN, Dec 2012
Delivery Schedule • „Delivery”: • Installation • Filling with consumables • First run:“GEM like boards” • Training:additional human resources RD51, CERN, Dec 2012
