Detector Construction
|
As part of the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab, the Carnegie Mellon
University group will be building the central drift chamber for the experiment.
The dtector will be a ~3000 channel straw-tube chamber that is about 60cm in radius and
150cm long. The most detailed information on the detector can be found on the
GlueX Wiki under the
Central Drift Chamber
link. Over the last few years, we have been testing a full scale prototype
of the detector as shown in the picture below.
Construction of the final chamber will occur at Carnegie Mellon. We maintain our
own shop and technician, and will be employing a team of stringers to actually
assemble the chamber. In addition to these people, there will be a significant
opportunity for interested students to participate in the construction, testing,
installaion and commisioning of the detector as part of the GlueX experiment.
