General Meeting Summary 9/14/17

CRYSTALS

• 160 SICCAS crystals arrived - 16 boxes with 10 crystals/box

• All crystals are labeled

• Visual inspection shows small scratches (< 1 mm) on surfaces, some crystals have features inside

• discussion how to quantify effect of surface effects on crystal response

• Started mechanical measurements, e.g. dimensions

• Required dimensions are 2.05cm x 2.05 cm x 20.0 cm (+-50um tolerance on sides, +- 150 um for length)
• Measured dimensions are 2.10cm x 2.10 cm wity 0.09 mm uncertainty using caliper - looking for better measurement instrumentation

MAGNET

• Anticipated delivery dates for yoke is end of month (main coil is delayed until end of year)

• Test plan discussion

• Hall probe for tests identified and available
• Information needed for initial test plan: space requirements and what measurements will be performed
• need details of power needed and for what - initial discussions with Hall have started (Bogdan)

FRAME

• Discussion of initial frame design assembly

• need correct values for: crystals and dimensions, PMT dimensions, HV divider dimensions

• Curing system

• plan is to use 2 blue and 2 red LEDs at the four corners of the crystal

NEXT MEETING: THURSDAY 5 OCTOBER at 9:00 AM (EDT)
