7. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 7 Outline Hcal barrel mechanical structure Hcal end-cap mechanical structure 1m² Micromegas chamber prototype

8. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 8 Hcal end cap : SiD baseline Use of spacers (in blue) between each plan Constant distance between 2 absorbers for the chambers to be inserted Cantilever structure Each absorber made with 2 C parts (surronding the beam axis)

9. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 9 Hcal end cap : SiD baseline Chambers insertion No crack in the end-cap Non-projective structure

10. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 10 Longitudinal view of the detectors Following studies: Realize FEA, Study Hcal locking devices on the magnet, Check cables and gaz pipe routes… The rectangular module could be a good option for the module 0 prototype !

13. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 13 1m² Micromegas chamber prototype Stainless steel plate (2mm) + copper foil (5 μm) Stainless steel plate (2mm) Machined mask (Vétronit G11) holes for the cables and electronic devices PCB + bulk Internal spacer 5mm 2mm [ Chamber cross section ]

14. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 14 1m² Micromegas chamber prototype Bottom plate Mask PCB Frame Top plate Gaz pipe DIF & interDIF

15. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 15 Assembly procedure mechanical prototype : no electronics ! Step 1 : gluing of the mask on the bottom plate

16. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 16 Assembly procedure Step 2 : gluing of the (dummy) PCB on the mask

17. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 17 Assembly procedure Step 3 : gluing of internal spacers (designed to ensure a constant space between PCB and a constant drift gap)

18. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 18 Assembly procedure Step 4 : gluing of external frame (designed to ensure a constant drift gap and chamber air tightness)

19. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 19 Assembly procedure Step 5 : gluing of top plate (plexiglass plate for this prototype)

20. CALICE 2009 - Lyon Nicolas Geffroy 20 Assembly procedure Step 6 : tests of air tightness Test OK : Air-tight chamber ! Next step : Assembly of the ‘true’ prototype in a laminar flow clean room.
