LST production at Pol. Hi. Tech.

LST production status LSTs in the conditioning station Operations in the clean room

LST production status • Tubes production started at Pol. Hi. Tech. on Nov. 10 • Since mid. Decembre 15 tubes/day assembled • Up to now more than 500 LSTs assembled produced 564 passed HV conditioni ng 302 passed plateau 272 passed scan test 212 waiting for conditioning shipped 192 121 under conditioning 132 waiting for source scan test 50 under long term test 30 168 on Feb. 9 24 before Xmas 8 -cell tubes production for the 2 sextants to be installed in 2004 finished. Next Monday will begin the production of 7 -cell tubes.

LST production status • The Quality Control system is fully integrated with the production. – The system can handle the number of tubes produced daily by the factory. – Babarians work is fundamental for the diagnostic and the quality certification of the chambers. INFN provides 3 shifters + a production manager per week. – The QC system can identify systematic and random defects of the tubes. – The source scan test has been added to the standard QC procedure. So far ~30 tubes rejected by the QC system

First 24 tubes arrive Jan 2 in Princeton All tubes survived the trip Test stand in operation in Hi-Bay area

Performance of first 24 tubes – HV plateaus All 24 tubes show good plateau All tubes are still working properly

First production module assembled Jan 9

Princeton workshop – Jan 30/31 Installation Ø Ø Connections Routing Layer 18 Module testing High Voltage Ø Connector Ø Protection Software Ø Task list Ø Planning Organization Ø Installation logistics Electronics Ø Electronics tests

Installation mechanical summary and utilities Inside steel Ø Backward end: z strip readout, HV connections Ø Forward: strip readout Radial conduit Ø An “incremental conduit” is the plan for bringing the utilities out. With the incremental conduit a section of conduit goes in with every layer leaving the most available working space for succeeding layers HV connector and cables (we have an expert, Dave Warner from Colorado State) Ø To avoid the entire length of the high voltage cable to be handled during installation. Ø They should be placed outside the detector in an area where the HV cables leave the conduit.

Installation mechanical summary and utilities Z-Strip Routing: Ø Placement of the readout lines of the z-strip was of major concern due to the limited space for the utilities. Ø We came up with a viable solution for the top and bottom sextants by attaching them to the sides of the center gap plate. Ø This solution is very space efficient but only works in the top and bottom sextant Ø The side sextant solution is under discussion. Layer 18 Ø All the utilities must be accessed from the forward end because of the existing flux bars that seal this layer Ø The solution is to get the utilities organized in the gap so the flux bar could be replaced without crushing them Ø Since this layer is sealed by the flux bar extensive testing needs to be done prior to the replacement of the flux bar

Strip production @ SLAC

planes production status • 550 cables received. • Plane production is underway in End Station A • 2 shifters working at a time with production manager • 10 planes produced per bake cycle • May be able to do 2 cycles per day • 68 “ 2 by 8” planes produced so far • 50 planes shipped to Princeton • 24 “layer 18” planes also produced Flexible Flat Cable (FFC): 100 mils pitch

z planes production status • 3 "1 module wide" prototype planes produced – 1 installed in Ba. Bar during last ROD – 1 to be shipped to Princeton – 1 to be used in tests at SLAC • For production planes the main issue is the cable length. • There are 216 different lengths of cables needed • We need to know/control the lengths to better than 1 cm • Current plan is – – Buy bulk cable from Parlex Cut to length here at SLAC Send cables back to Parlex for etching Send cables to Cable Connection for crimping z planes production is postponed after the plane for 2004 installation will be finished.

Software • reconstruction. – Revisit 1 -D clustering (currently it can connect non-adiacent strips to deal with dead FECs) – Investigate possible effect of constant pitch – Teach the swimmer (Kalman. Filter based) about the dead spaces. • efficiency monitoring. – Test current code on LST (each tube is smaller than an RPC) • software for cosmic runs – Reuse the code already available (Ifr. Cosmic) – Useful to analyze cosmics in teststand then to debug detector at the end of installation (first cosmic runs). • muon. ID algorithm – Revisit the current selectors – Study discriminant variables, feedback to reconstruction tweaking – Introduce dependance in barrel.

LST Summary • Success of first module validates construction and testing procedures. • Now in full Production at PHT. – 15 tubes per day – Q/C is able to keep up – Shipments scheduled • Assembly sites at Princeton and OSU in operation • Strip planes in production at SLAC • Installation, Electronics, HV, etc. under control and on schedule for summer installation of 2 sextants. • Major challenge: maintaining quality and schedule
