1. Hall D Integration Status GlueX Collaboration Meeting Indiana University, Ravi Anumagalla

2. CONTENTS Designs are proposed for the extraction of CDC/FDC from the Barrel Calorimeter KEY ITEMS : 1. Non-magnetic rails 2.Compact 3.With stand the design load 4.Precision 5.Reproducibility 1.DESIGN 1 2.DESIGN 2

4. 36/48 Modules of B.C Design 1. 1.This Design incorporates two Carbon- fiber cylinders of 0.5 cm thk 2.The CDC is enclosed in a Carbon_fiber cylinder running all along the length of 2m 3.The second cylinder is 4m long supporting the rails for CDC & FDC 4.Two rails are positioned at 4 O’clock and 7 O’clock positions

5. 0.65 ~ 0.85 DETAILS OF THE RAILS AND SPACING

6. Alignment Pads

7. CDC End Plate 120 cm Dia Carbon-Fiber Cylinder 9 cm CDC-CARBON-FIBER CYCLINDER ATTACHMENT OPTIONS CDC End Plate Carbon-Fiber Cylinder 9 cm

8. 1. Casing & Track rail: Non-magnetic stainless 2. Steel Balls: Silicon nitride ceramics 3. Under seal: Nitrile rubber without metal part 4. End plate: 316 stainless steel 5. Ball retaining band: 304 stainless steel 6. End seal: 316 SS. 7. Screw: XM7 stainless steel 8. Grease fitting: Brass 9.

10. Steps Involved In Aligning Rails Alignment fixture 1.The 4m cylinder is fitted to the inner face of the barrel calorimeter 2.The fixture in aligned to the center wrt a reference edge 3.Rails are aligned with fixture in place 4.Both the rails are fixed to precision for a desired angle of 120 deg

11. 1.The Rails Are Aligned To The Machined Edge Of The Fixture 2.The Rails are bolted tightly to the carbon-fiber cylinder 3.The fixture is removed once the rails are aligned Carbon Fiber Cylinder

12. Reference Edge

13. 1.5, Bearings are attached to the outer cylinder of the CDC 2.An extra rail is used for alignment purpose of the sliding bearings 3.The bolts on the bearings are not tightened completely, this gives us some We use the same fixture to align the bearing on the CDC

14. The CDC slides into the B.C

15. CDCFiber Glass Cylinders with the railsBarrel Calorimeter Rails Attached to the Fiber glass

16. The CDC enclosed in the Fiber Glass Cylinder is inserted into the Barrel Calorimeter supported by the rails CDC Barrel Calorimeter Deisgn.2

17. 10 layers of ribbon cables, each layer has 61 cables, Total 610 cables have been modeled, required 540 cables 360 Coax-Ribbon Forward Drift Cathodes(3mm thk) 180 Twisted pair Ribbon Forward Drift Anodes (2mm thk) 120 cm (Dia) 130 cm (Dia) 72, ¼ inch ( 24 CDC HV cables 24 FDC HV cables 24 FDC Gas Connections)

19. Design.1 VS Design2 1.Can accommodate the design load of 1000 kg’s 1.Cylinders should be machined precisely 1.Space available is limited 1.Can accommodate the design load of 1000 kg’s 1.Alignment pads can be included for precision alignment 1.Space available for spacing

20. CONCLUSION Two designs are proposed for review Bearings/Rails are selected to accommodate the weight of CDC/FDC ~ 1000 kg Space for the cables is verified, taking into consideration the worst case scenario Looking into the possibility of building a prototype for testing the fixture for alignment of rails The Carbon-Fiber cylinder can also accommodate O’rings for avoiding gas leaks from the CDC chamber
