2 UPGR15+FGT as of May 2008

 UPGR15 geometry was modified to match best guess of FGT geometry as of May 2008.

The active FGT area is : Z1=70,..., Z6=120cm, DZ=10 cm, Rin=11.5cm, Rout=37.5 cm 
There is 1cm of additional dead material at Rin & Rout

 

Fig 1. Zvertex=0 cm, green= eta [1.06,2.0]. , red=eta[2.5,4.0]

 

 

Fig 2. Zvertex=+30 cm, green= eta [1.06,2.0]. , red=eta[2.5,4.0]

 

 

Fig 3. Zvertex=-30 cm, green= eta [1.06,2.0]. , red=eta[2.5,4.0]

 

Fig 4. Zoom in on 1 FGT disk.  Detected particle enters from the left, 'active' gas volume has depth of 3mm (between magenta ad blue lines),  FGT strips collect charge on the 1st green line.
 (units in cm)
Zstart = 70.0 ! starting position along Z axis
Z = { 0.0, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0, 50.0} ! Z positions for GEM front face
FThk = { 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.05 } ! foil thicknesses inside GEM
SThk = { 0.3, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2 } ! support/spacing thicknesses
SR = 1.0 ! radial size for support
