GEM-TPC Prototype Development @ HIP Helsinki Group: Francisco García – PANDA Local Technical Coordinator Matti Kalliokoski – PhD Student Antti Numminen - Technician
OUTLINE • Plans in the PANDA collaboration framework • Facilities Helsinki Institute of Physics • Activities related to the TOTEM GEM detectors • Development of small GEM – TPC prototype • Funding and Future 08.02.07 Francisco García – FOPI meeting 2
Plans in the PANDA collaboration framework • R&D of small GEM – TPC prototype in Helsinki (Q1 2007) • Get familiar with GEM-TPC and its characterization 2) Participation in the development and assembly of a FOPI-like large TPC 3) GEMs assembling and characterization for PANDA 4) Final GEM - TPC testing for PANDA 08.02.07 Francisco García – FOPI meeting 3
Clean Rooms at HIP Full production line for TOTEM GEM det. and ALICE SSD modules! 08.02.07 Francisco García – FOPI meeting 4
Up to 50 det. TOTEM GEM detector Assembling Currently in production 08.02.07 Francisco García – FOPI meeting 5
Development of small GEM-TPC Prototype TPC Design 08.02.07 Francisco García – FOPI meeting 6
Development of small GEM-TPC Prototype (cont) TPC Assembling 08.02.07 Francisco García – FOPI meeting 7
Funding and Future • 556 kEUR applied for PANDA (3,5 MEUR total for FAIR) • Decision from Ministry of Education most likely before March 2007 • GEM – TPC as primary option to contribute • To be done: • Set the manpower based on the funding • Reafirm commintments and resources 08.02.07 Francisco García – FOPI meeting 8
