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

Basic Concept Three.jpg


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 wires are passed and connected to both 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 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.

Preliminary Design Phase (9/24/07)

Design

The endplate is a composite material composed of an inner polyerethane foam core with steel sheets glued to the largest area sides. The endplate, while made entirely of this composite, has a large number of holes in two central region through which the drift chamber wires are supported. To account for the effects of these holes the composite is defined in terms of two materials. Material 1 represents the composite material without holes while Material 2 has a density to reflect the presence of drilled holes.

The long sides of the endplate composite material have two support structures. On one side, carbon fiber rods (Material 3) are placed to help reduce reflections. On the other side a Hexcell foam impregnated with carbon fiber (Material 4) is used as a backing when all four sides of the drift chamber are assembled.

Material and cross section of drift chamber frames, endplates, back plates, and nose plates

Endplate material

  1. Polyeurethane Foam
    1. R3 Design specification: General Plastics Mfg. Co., "LAST-A-FOAM", FR-3700

Wire hole patterns and feedthrough details

With a total of 112 sense wires and 44 wire layers, we exect to drill 4,928 precision holes in the drift chamber endplate.

A Basic View of the Hole on the End Plate with the Feedthrough can be Shown Below

Mechanical Analysis

ANSYS Model

Ansys is used as the modeling and analysis tool. Several cases both in 2-D and 3-D models will be analyzed.

In this explanation. 2-D model is itself is a 3-D model. However, the deflection of a single end plate will be analyzed with some assumptions

2-D Model

This 2-D model is basically a 3-D model of the end plate itself. Several orientations have been analyzed. The description of this 2-D model can be observed below. 2-D.jpg 2-D materials.jpg

2-D model results of several orientations and cases are tabulated below

2-D results.jpg

3-D Model

This 3-D model is a one (out of six) 3-D piece model.

Refined 3-D Model with Mylar sheet

Gas pressure inside the chamber will be just above 1 atm in order to have a constant flow of ArCo2. The average differential pressure is expected to be about 1/8 of an inch of water ([math]3 \times 10^{-4} Atm , 4.5 \times 10^{-3} lbs/in^2[/math]). The peak pressure differential is assumed to be 5 times higher.

  1. Hysol 9339 glue File:Hysol9339glue.pdf is used for the endplates to glue the 0.048 inch thick Stanless steel plates to the Polyeurethane "LAST-A-FOAM", FR-3700 Foam. Vendor used for previous CLAS chambers: Dexter Corp., Adhesives & Structural Materials Division, 465 Marietta, GA 30064, PH. 404-427-1567
  2. Epon is the glue used for the feedthroughs, potting pins, and to seal connections. The previous CLAS drift chambers used the Epon 828 resin with Versamid 140 hardener in a ratio of 100:44.5. Other types may have more plasticisers that can out-gas. Our source for Epon was E.V. Roberts and Associates, Inc., 8500 Steller Drive, PO Box 868, Culver City, CA 90232, PH. 213-870-9561.
