Michigan B184 Update Sept 3, 2004


Back to B184 updates * Previous * Next

1) Chambers passing CR test
 
  a) Chambers passing CR test this week: EMS5A04, EMS4C12
  b) Total number of chambers passing CR test at CERN:   55
 
2) Chambers in progress

  EMS4C04: Retake CR data 
  EML4A13: Performing mezz card HV on scan
  EML3A01: Performing mezz card HV on scan
  EML5A03: Dark current test

3) Chambers in hospital.

  EMS5AC02: There are leaks at the rate of 10^-5 level in the location
  between Al ring and endplug of the bottom multilayer (ML1).  The
  long term leak rate is about 2 mbar/day for Ar at 3 bar.  Short term
  is about 7mbar/day for helium at 3 bar.  We are applying epoxy to
  the leak location, as we did before.

4) Problems and other issues
 
  a) We have run out of the Al strips used to connect the kinematic
  mount and the FC.  We will have to make note and add them in the
  future.
 
  b) The fourth DAQ system for CR test is working. This will help
  speed up our work.
 
  c) We started working with EML5 chambers.  We now start to reduce UM
  space to make room for UW to set up first one more station, then two
  more.  We will have total four stations left for EML5 chambers.
