1.) Readout:
Nothing new


2.) Detector
Still ordering miscellaneous "nuts and bolts" type parts.

4.) Detector rotator apparatus
A preliminary design has been hashed out to meet the PMP goal of a design by March 2005.
Units are in centimeters

The new mini-torus location has forced a search for a new GEM detector location. As one moves upstream towards the target it becomes difficult to find enough space between the opening angle of the collmator and the beam which will allow a beam pipe as well as a detector.
Perhaps if we reduce the shielding thickness down to 15 cm we can shoehorn in a 50cm thick tracking system.
