3. Content Chamber design status Straw material news Conclusions and future 3 NA62 Collaboration meeting, Brussels 7-10/9/2010

4. Milestone achieved 1/9 NA62 Collaboration meeting, Brussels 7-10/9/2010 4 Message to the SPSC “The following milestone deliverables were completed and are considered as final: The design of the STRAW chamber including; - The final straw layout - The chamber frame - straw end-pieces - spacer (straw supports) - assembly tooling - web (connection between straw and FE) - cover (*) with HV, signal and gas connections - grounding scheme - FEM calculation for chamber deformation and stresses under vacuum were done and checked - offers for manufacturing the first module (1/2 a chamber) have been received (896 straws)”

5. SPSC reply cont. Next Steps:Besides the construction of the first chamber module let me provide you some information on still outstanding issues for the STRAW tracker: - interface parts between chamber and blue tube (this is planned to start after the chamber design, first layouts exist…) - readout ( one proposal (Tell1 +HPTDC) was tested successfully in the test beam, however, other options are been discussed) - services (gas, electronic racks -> ongoing work inline with other sub-detectors) - support for chamber in the experiment (preliminary design available) - installation tooling (ongoing work) NA62 Collaboration meeting, Brussels 7-10/9/2010 5

8. Experience with high energy physics projects; AMS ATLAS, CMS…. NA62 Collaboration meeting, Brussels 7-10/9/2010 8

9. QC 8 microns precision N. Dixon PH / DT NA 62 collaboration meeting Sept 7-10 2010 Brussels 9

10. Delivery and plans The assembly and full QC of the geometry will be added to the initial contract. Delivery ~1 November (estimate) Meaning full speed on turning table and other components required for the start-up of the assembly! NA62 Collaboration meeting, Brussels 7-10/9/2010 10

16. Straw storage under pressure 16 NA62 Collaboration meeting, Brussels 7-10/9/2010

17. Summary and Conclusion We are switching to production…. Module 0 frame in November and start straw insertion in January A few critical issues/decisions in the fall (Dec.): Full straw validation (material, metallization and welding) FE choice from studies in the lab and test beam results in 2010 Choice for the readout (three options at present) Last but not least: Thanks to everybody who contributed to the finalization of the TD in time!!
