A description of the Region 3 (RIII) Design for CLAS12

Conceptual Design

The location of Region III on this drift chamber can be viewed as Basic Concept one.jpg

Region III is assembled with 6 Eqi-shaped pieces. Each of these pieces resembles a Pizza slice which together forms the whole chamber.

A view of the 6 piece assembly can be viewed as Basic Concept two.jpg


Each of these pieces is made of 3 kinds of plates.

1. Nose Plate (1 No.)

2. End Plate (2 No’s)

3. Face Plate (1 No.)

A Sample assembly of the slice can be Viewed as

End Plate:

There are 2 end plates for each slice which are attached opposite to each other. There are several holes on each end plate through which sets of sense wires are passed connected both the end plates of a particular slice. The whole area in which holes are drilled on each End plate can be further divided into 2 areas; upward wire area and Downward wire area. A sense wire from upward wire area of end plate ‘A’ is drawn to the downward wire area in the opposite end plate ‘B’ and vice versa. Both these wires are angled at 6 degrees to the imaginary midline, which passes through the Nose plate and the Face Plate of each slice. End plate can be Viewed as

Nose Plate:

This is the place which forms the base for each slice. Both the end plates are attached at the opposite ends of the Nose plate. The angled end of the end plates are attached to this nose plate, so that the end plates are projected at an angle in 3-D.


Face plate:

Face plate is the top plate which holds the end plate together on the top side.

Design criteria

The Design Criteria is to develop all the necessary dimensions from the known dimensions.

The known dimensions are


• Distance from target to first sense wire plane along a ray which is normal to the end plate = 4746.5 mm

• Chamber Tilt Angle = 25 Degrees

• Maximum Scattering Angle = 45 Degrees

• Minimum Electron Scattering angle = 5 Degrees

• Distance between the two Adjacent Pieces = 160 mm


The Definition of these given Dimensions can be viewed in the following pictures

Theses known dimensions are used in the determination of the remaining dimensions of the chamber.
