TPC meeting, GSI, 2-3 June 2003Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI1 Status of laser system TPC meeting, GSI, 2-3 June 2003 Børge Svane Nielsen, Jørn Westergaard Niels Bohr Institute  Work since January 2003 (PRR on 27 January 2003)  Micro-mirror status  Assembly of laser rods  Optics and mechanics on end-plates

2. TPC meeting, GSI, 2-3 June 2003Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI2 Micromirror production 97 bundles produced and delivered in February 2003,  60 accepted based on surface quality and angles 48 have been selected for the TPC reflecting surfaces brass cup mechanical reference surface Micromirror bundle

3. TPC meeting, GSI, 2-3 June 2003Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI3 Mirror reflectances Preliminary accepted bundles (based on reflectance and image quality): 50-60 bundles out of 97 received Amplitudes of profiles:

6. TPC meeting, GSI, 2-3 June 2003Børge Svane Nielsen, NBI6 Rod gluing 1.Drill holes in short rods: in progress 2.Mount mirror bundles in support rings: to be done at NBI, awaiting laser 3.Glue mirror support rings onto short rods at CERN. Test gluing done. Theta alignment guaranteed by jig + machined surface 4. Glue short rods into full length rods at CERN. Phi alignment adjusted during gluing, using laser 5.Measurements on final rod possible in lab at CERN before installation. Foreseen to be finished in September.
