11. Chamber length Fukuoka, Oct. 201311 The chamber length defines the geometrical matching with the timing counter: as long as possible Long chamber has reduced longitudinal resolution: effects seen in MC at half-length=100 cm Construction concerns Measurable volume 2550x1500x1350 mm 3

12. Chamber length Fukuoka, Oct. 201312 Construction concerns 1.Long cells have larger gravitational sag and impose more stringent constraints on wiring position: functioning long prototype with half-length=90 cmOK 2.Wiring machine needs a larger cylinder: increased inertial momentumunder study 3.Assembly under measuring machine with a total length of 2600 mm: half-length≤95 cm need double check 1900 mm 60 mm 150 mm 120 mm

13. Limited azimuthal coverage Fukuoka, Oct. 201313 The chamber described in the upgrade proposal has an azimuthal coverage with both U and V views of ~240 deg at Z=0 ~180 deg at end plate The wire suspension at the end-plates spans 300 deg The choice was suggested only by the comparison with the present detector configuration in which the target is hung to the chamber system. The limited azimuthal coverage is possible even if not optimal for the tracker.

14. Limited azimuthal coverage Fukuoka, Oct. 201314 The support structure limits the space available for target movement The structure is more robust and simple 1.E field is not well defined everywhere: up to 50% noise increase on 50% of the wires 2.The carbon fibre support is “straight-forward” 3.The end-plate structure is simplified 4.Kapton foil structure and tensioning is simplified

15. 2  azimuthal coverage Fukuoka, Oct. 201315 The 2  solution eliminates zones with weak E fields (only HV is needed, not FE nor DAQ) opens up extra physics channels with e- facilitates chamber construction but Impacts on the target system Is more expensive (wire PCB and HV) The design of the azimuthal limited chamber is pursued but the 2  solution is strongly preferred

16. Target system location Fukuoka, Oct. 201316 Simple proposal Target holder Inside US extension R in 130 ÷ 155 mm Target displacement 25 cm Target Light rohacell support (or even lighter) Simulation of the background induced on the Calorimeter is in progress

17. Beam line interference Fukuoka, Oct. 201317 6 cm Interference with muon beam line seems negligible

21. He He / iB Gas volumes Fukuoka, Oct. 2013 21 air Support structure stiff enough to rotate the chamber in vertical position Gas sealing directly on end-plates by potting Selection of potting material

22. He He / iB Coupling to COBRA, BTS and Bellows Fukuoka, Oct. 2013 22 air Coupling flanges ending at 1420 mm (end og COBRA) –Stress release by mean of bellows Mechanical coupling to COBRA via cable flange

23. Presentations Fukuoka, Oct. 201323 Construction – End plates (Miccoli) – FE electronics (Grancagnolo) – HV (Piredda) Prototypes – Long prototype (Baracchini) – cosmic telescope (Galli) Reconstruction and analysis – LXe – CDCH alignment (Kang) – Pattern recognition (Cei) – Reconstruction (Renga) – Single hit resolution (Cascella)

24. Summary Fukuoka, Oct. 201324 The CDCH group endorses a 2  azimuthal coverage and asks the Collaboration to approve it Decision could be revised in case of sensitive increase of background on the calorimeter (ongoing study with an heavy target system) Decisions or checks on the following items are needed – gas volumes separation – constraints on external dimension – coupling to COBRA, BTS and bellow system Construction aspects are under discussion within the chamber group – chamber length – electronic location and service – end plates structure
