AIDA Meeting - University of Liverpool - 13 November 2008
---------------------------------------------------------

Present: RDP, SRA, DS, TD

Summary of meeting
------------------

DS presented design concepts for the mechanical mounting of the
AIDA DSSSDs, kapton cabling etc. and illustrated how these concepts
integrate with the 4pi neutron detector and current RISING gamma-ray
detector array.

Conclusions
-----------

1) Need to add mechanical structure of AIDA FEE
   (requires input from John Strachan)
2) Need to determine kapton cable length
3) Need to use fixed length kapton cables
4) Radius of curvature of kapton cabling at seal near 
   base plate should be relaxed
5) Enclosure U-tube + panel or box/sleeve
	how sealed?	wrt internal gas overpressure
		 	wrt EMI/RFI
			wrt repeated use
6) Materials - carbon fibre/aluminium
	determine thickness required 
7) Develop concept to conclusion

Tasks 1-3 are urgent and should be completed by the end of November 2008.

Other 
-----

SRA has been asked to recommend hardware for:

	recirculating dry-gas chiller

	FEE power supply

	DSSSD bias supply
		polarity + and - or floating
		~500V
		100uA

	Necessary cabling, connectors etc.

All hardware requires:

	remote computer interface

	universal mains input 110/230VAC 50-60Hz
