In mid-September, 2018, a look back at just....

.... one year ago...

Just in September....

• Joey completed the mechanical aspects of the scanning table, and Wanbing and Xinyue automated control and monitoring
• After five months of continuous use of a large mill, machining scintillator finished.
• We still had many unfinished supersectors.
• We packed up the first batch of supersectors (and our Chinese friends) and headed to BNL

additionally:

• FEE cards and Rx boards had not arrived at BNL.
• SiPM boards had just arrived
• MDR and other cables were still out
• Clear fiber bundle production was moving full steam ahead, even while academic term was starting

31 August 2017 - Joey perfects the design of the scanning table.  (Much better than Mike's netting...)


13 Sept 2017 - Xinyue and Wanbing integrate the controlling and monitoring software of the scanning system.


13 Sept 2017 - The last machining step is finished.  Our proud machinist, Mike Graham.
