3. Status of the detector design
The development of the design is in a good advanced status :
Scintillators, fibers and PM are inside a dark box
The fibers coming from the scintillators are connected to the PM ; the PM wires are collected in a bunch coming out from the box
The longitudinal scintillators are 50 mm in width and 10 mm thick ; the transversal ones are 100 mm in width and 10 mm thick

8. Status of the tooling development
The tooling development regards (up to now):
Machine making the grooves housing the fibers
Machine dispensing the resin fixing the fibers
Other needs
A production plan is needed (space, timing, labor, …..)

9. Machine making the grooves
The machine consist of :
A plane supporting the scintillator
An head equipped with a cutting disk making the linear groove
Two heads equipped with a cylindrical milling cutter making the junctions for the exit in place of the fibers
The machining time is approximately 8 min each scintillator corresponding to 3,5 weeks/1000 scinti (40 h/week)
