G.Barber KEK Test Beam Update, Berkeley 9 Feb Station Progress The 4 th station is now under construction. The layout has a total of 30 connectors, 10 per view. Each connector has 22 holes instead of the previous 18 but all of these are not used in every connector. All 3 planes are glued and the ‘connectorisation’ is under way and will be finished by the end of this week. It will then undergo extensive checking before being potted.
