• Construction MOU is done• First Article - PO (49th module)• Full Contruction - RFP (48 modules)

Contracts

“The mother of all prototypes”

Z. Papandreou, GlueX Collaboration Meeting, May 11, 2009 4

Timetable

• First Article Delivery: Oct 2, 2009• First Four Modules: Feb 10, 2010

Z. Papandreou, GlueX Collaboration Meeting, May 11, 2009 5

Fiber Test Preparations

• Kuraray Contract SCSF-78MJ; (410cm -0/+4)cm 780,590 fibers; maybe too few?

• First article tests: A. Semenov’s talk (next)

• New Fibers QA protocol Attenuation length: (a few % of fibers)

• use photodiode/PMT, measure current• use spectrophotometer for select cases• setup upgrades: parts; manual scan, eventually automatic

Photoelectrons: 90Sr; SiPM/PMT, manual scan, auto in future Anchor back to Kuraray’s results on attenuation length

Swaging

• Roller gap adjustments Short & Long lead strips swaged Built test matrix samples

• Lead Precut to width Rolled or in sheets Purity, uniformity,cleanliness Drop shipped First Article: using surplus lead; major

effort: 2 weeks to just clean & cut

• Safety HEPA vacuum for lead clean up; time

consuming and disposal Ventilation, electrical, escape routes
