Definitions

Survey tolorance

The accuracy in the absolute location of an object

Alignment Tolerance

The accuracy of an object relative some other known object.

"Would like to"

desired alignment accuracy

"Must have"

Required alignment accuracy

"Known to"

desired survey accuracy

Tolorances

The charge collector strips are less than 0.4 mm wide. The concentric strips can give you a direct measurement of the electron scattering angle [math]\theta[/math] if they are properly alignment with the beam line.

The numbers below are just a Guess with no justification from a simulation or hand calculation.

Tolorance for GEM relative to the PRIMARY COLLIMATOR (2nd collimator)

Survey can pretend to do 50 micron resolution 200 micron resolution is no problem.

Survey marker tooling balls need 1/4 inch rods to mount prisms on. Should have at least 3, 1/4 holes on detector.

Coordinate	"Would like to"	"Must have"	Known to

X	0.05	0.2	0.2
Y	0.05	0.2	0.2
Z	1	10	1
Yaw(about Y)

Meeting Notes

3/5/09

1.  Briefly review the current status of your system:   is it  

a) assembled  

detector and rotator are assembled

b)  tested  

HV tested the detector. Rotator is tested and working

c) ready for shipping ?   Not ready for shipping.
If not, what are the remaining critical milestones and how will your group meet them?

i.) Slow Control GUI

ii.)readout tests: electron beam run with electronics scheduled for March 16, may slip if electronic do not arrive in time.

iii.Detector mounting system?

2.  Briefly summarize the installation and integration issues when your system is 
installed at JLab.    How will these be addressed?

3.  Describe the tests to be made with beam during the commissioning phase for your system.   
What analysis tasks will need to be done to confirm that it is ready for production mode?

a.) is the detector working test. You should see pulses on the trigger output signal. A BNC cable should be run from alenas electronics to the counting house.

b.) timing tests, Is the readout in sync with the JLAB RF

c.)Point target tracking test, does R1 and R2 reconstruct straight line tracks to the location of a solid target?

4.  Briefly summarize the nature of the analysis software needed for your system and its 
current status.   Who is in charge of this software for your group?

a.) Tracking software for a Q^2 straight track measurement.

5.  Who is in charge of documentation (both hardware and software) for your system?  
How will general shift workers be trained to operate it?

a.) a Tracking group member will be available during scheduled tracking shifts to operate the detectors and take data.

6.  List the members of the team dedicated to installing, commissioning and running your 
system for Qweak.   Indicate a schedule for who you plan to have at JLab and when.

My last version of the schedule has the following dates

3/18/10 Install rotator: K. Grimm

3/31/10 Install R1 Chamber: T. Forest: I am guessing that this means hook up power and the DAQ, I can put my name down.

4/21/10 Survey R1 chamber: Any want to sign up?

7/22/10: Qweak Commission: S. Wells + T. Forest?

7.  Does your system require a dedicated expert on each shift?   
Do you need to recruit additional manpower from the collaboration at large?

Yes, see answer to #5 above.
