Minutes

  1. Larry B.
    • Developing Detector Frame Support
    • Need to assess use of steel bearings (Ferrous materials budget)
    • Larry suggests friction drive; do we need to switch to belt or chain drive?
    • Even with friction drive, need chain to drive rollers
  2. All
    • Servicing discussion - at least for ring 5, can we pull out an entire module?
    • Dustin should revisit a look into cabling scheme with this present frame. Will probably disconnect all cables if make more than minor rotations.
    • Thoughts on space needs for detector access/servicing for all detectors & personnel access platforms (custom?).
  3. Ryan B.
    • Looked into whether pion donut etc. support is improved/simplified if we add back in the "missing" 7th fin (this is the one we removed so that space for pion detector GEM system). Answer - not really, one small (1 mm) deflection is removed, otherwise no gain (unless wen back to drawing board on whole support system). So, we can continue to assume only the 6 fins are used.
