status of Forward Tracker 11/29/2006



1.) Chamber:
A series of CAD drawings has been done representing the final design of the GEM foils for the region 1 tracking system. The design is based upon the conclusions made in a previous report. The report concluded that a trapazoidal shape 23 cm high and 11 cm wide would cover the elasticly scattered elecron envelope.

NOTE: I added 1cm in height to the CAD drawings for good measure.

2.)Readout electronics
Beam test of VFAT board at CERN was successfull. I am planning a trip in January to CERN in order to be trained on the readout system and establish the infrastructure for a purchase.


3.) rotator No report.
