3. Tracker Software Status M. Ellis MICE Collaboration Meeting 27 th June 2005

4. Progress so far G4MICE has been extended to handle calibration, alignment and decoding information. Further work is needed before it will be ready to be committed. Visualisation framework has been developed (based on the libsx wrapper of X) with a simple test program that can be extended to handle both test-beam and simulation needs. Pattern recognition and track fitting code modified to work with no magnetic field.

5. Visualisation

6. Plans Due to lack of effort available, G4MICE activities will take a second priority to test- beam readout until it is finished. At that stage, work described so far will be completed, hopefully in time to be used for monitoring and analysis of test-beam data. If time is available, still aim to study optimum station spacing before next collaboration meeting.

9. K.Long/G.Barber Sci-Fi Tracker Status 27 June 20059 Tracker Status Contents:- Station Fabrication Modifications to the Existing Stations Mechanical Support Station Connectors Complete Prototype Changes for Final Tracker

10. K.Long/G.Barber Sci-Fi Tracker Status 27 June 2005 Complete Prototype (Prior to outer covers being fitted) Status – The completed prototype was shipped to FermiLab 20 June for cosmic ray tests and will then be forwarded to KEK for the beam tests

11. K.Long/G.Barber Sci-Fi Tracker Status 27 June 2005 Patch panel, diffuser support and iron shield Stephanie Wang, Wing Lau and Geoff met to discuss space at the end of the tracker Issues were: –Support of diffuser mechanism Avoid compromising integrity of vacuum-vessel seal –Support of iron sheild Avoid possibility that support for shield will interfere with patch panel

14. K.Long/G.Barber Sci-Fi Tracker Status 27 June 2005 Changes for Final Tracker The stations will have a thickened pad around the 6 fixation points. This will allow for machining to ensure a uniform thickness. A quality control regimen needs to be in place for each stage of construction/assembly Waveguide patch panel connectors will need to be ‘turned around’ The location/relocation mechanism in the bore of the cryostat will need to be designed and tested The Patch panel will need the final design and pressure calculations completed Vacuum test of station assembly to be performed over the summer Plan to construct a model of complete device to ensure no space conflicts during manufacture or installation
