12. V. Carassiti - Princeton (USA) 9-13/01/2003 12 MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE DETECTOR  THE STRIPS FOIL GOES IN TO THE GAP (SLIDE 13); A PROPER TOOLING KEEPS IT IN SHAPE AND PLACE  THE MODULES OF THE DETECTOR ARE INSERTED ONE BY ONE FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP, THE NEXT SLIDING ON THE PREVIOUS ONE (SLIDES 14, 15)  EACH MODULE CAN BE HELD ON BOTH EDGES, WHICH ALLOWS THE LIFTING AND THE ADJUSTMENT.  WHEN THE CORNER PIECES ARE MOUNTED THE DETECTOR DISASSEMBLY IS STILL POSSIBLE AFTER THE CENTER PIECES REMOVAL (SLIDE 16); THE PROCEDURE IS THE FOLLOWING: 1) LIFTING THE UPPER MODULES 2) EXTRACT THE CENTRAL MODULES 3) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAP THERE’S THE SPACE TO LOWER OR LIFT THE OTHER MODULES.AND REMOVE THEM.  THE OPERATION OF ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY NEED A TOOLING, HOLDING AND HANDLING THE MODULES OF THE DETECTOR.
