OSU meeting, 04/24/2003 Richard Kass5 LST Building Blocks Tubes: The basic building block Each tube is ~2  10  375 cm A tube forms the gas volume (IsoB/Ar/CO 2 ) Anode wires are ganged together in a tube 16 wires/tube double layer small cells 8 wires/tube single large cell Resistive graphite coating on inner walls Do not readout anodes, use cathode strips ~2000 tubes in system Modules: Groups of tubes Tubes (e.g. 6) glued together form a module ~400 modules in system

OSU meeting, 04/24/2003 Richard Kass20 Tube Prototypes 1) pre-prototype double layer tubes (9x9=>9x8 mm) 2) “standard” cells: 9 x 9 mm tubes 3) “small” cells: 9x8 mm double layer tubes 4) “large” cells: 15x17 mm single layer tubes Four different types of tubes are under study baseline Very detailed studies of each tube geometry: voltage plateau mechanical stability signal quality shielding issues

OSU meeting, 04/24/2003 Richard Kass21 LST Prototypes First prototype (two 9x8 profiles) was built in order to test the readout scheme To do this old 9x9 profiles were machined down to 9x8 mm Readout scheme successfully tested Efficiency measured, about 96% The first double-layer prototype! ConfigurationEfficiency Both side ON96.5% 1 side ON – same side 92.8% 1 side ON – opposite side 91.2% Voltage Plateau narrower than expected  Prototypes have been opened up and examined Problem traced to inadequate Q/C, rough edges in machined profiles (actual tubes will be extruded)
