1. MEG DC (report June 04) DC report june_04,J.E. a)Foil stability and quench related problems b)How to get more stability c)Frame design d)Measurement of the  target position e)schedule 2004-2005

2. DC gas Bag gas Sbag2 Sbag1 Vbubbler bubbler p bag p DC XRXR XLXL YOYO XL,XRXL,XR Y O,X R +X L P bag,P DC P bag -P DC Hood foil stability test a).1 mm not reached at flux changes b) V-bubbler successful c) X R,X L,Y O correlated  Larger forces on the foil  „vertical forces“, stabilize chamber width DC report june_04,J.E.

3. a)Larger forces on the frame  larger deformations b)How to get „vertical forces“ Control of the HV to avoid damages during quench a)Quench is relatively slow :  > > 1 sec b)To fast switch off (chamber HV) is also dangerous : RC(chamber) ~ 10  s c)  switch off time ~ 100  s We think about ways to test the behavior to quenches, as soon as the Al-frame full size prototype will be completely available DC report june_04,J.E.

4. Mounting of Cathode foils c) Cut foil  vertical miniforce on the foil Also z-stability better (^  expansion coef  b) Position (.1 mm) stretched foils and glue them on frame and ROHACELL DC report june_04,J.E. a) Stretched carbon fibers(1000x d=6  m) and deformed ROHACELL Pretension forces on frame to simulate carbon fibers and foils, glue fibers

5. Mounting of Hood foil Largest height Not disturbing the cell To do better: Stretch „vertically“ and fix the width a)Modify the shape of the hood to have a larger flat surface to glue b)Machine a foam structure in ROHACELL 30 c)Adapt the cathode foil procedure Only minor modifications to the previously designed tools DC report june_04,J.E.

6. Stesalit 110 mm 199 mm331 mm basis wings Carbon fibers Frame shape a)fix dimensions of foils  order b)Only wing print + built in LV supply cable c)carbon fibers solution (  ) and price d) modify frame shape to correct in first order for: basis shape ( first cell) frame height (foil height) edge angle (gluing) tested DC report june_04,J.E.

7.  target position a)Without knowing the exact spectrometer resolution build a target with holes of different sizes b)Knowing the exact spectrometer resolution optimize the size of a series of holes and slits on the target to clearly see the holes without loosing too much intensities Since the non stopped  seem to have a larger probability to contribute to the background, the edge of the target will not be sharp enough.
