PID-I • Constraints of MWPC-I • and targets → siting of PMTs • at downstream end • Design specifications • Good separation of • p, p with little overhead • in material before MWPC • and CB detectors
MWPC-II & PID-II • MWPC-II redesigned for MAMI-C experiments • PID-II outside MWPC inbetween the MWPC chambers → Opted for setup similar to PID-I • ButPMTs at upstream end - TAPS
PID-II schematic PID-II schematic • PID-II – removable! • (redesigned MWPC connectors) • rPID-II >rPID-I • Keep same segmentation (24) • tscint = 4mm (PID-I: 2mm) FPID(INNER) = 108.4mm FMWPC = 133mm PMTs 500mm g beam PMT support ring MWPC Chambers MWPC supports CB Tunnel PID-II scintillators Hamamatsu H3164 - 10
PID-II – schedule and status months Delivery of scint. Total construction time ~ 5.2 months Cutting & prep of scint. 7 Lightguide manufacture Element assembly & tests Delivery of PMTs Detector assembly & tests Implementation into MWPC & CB ~1.5 month delay - Replacement of scintillator strips. New batch of manufactured by ELJEN
