Hedgehog Prototype Photos

Here are Some Photos of production prototype hedgehog PCBs received from E. Spiriti in early August 2001.

Hedgehog connector placement

See drawing typeiv_dims.pdf. The dimensions in blue are the latest (18 April 2001) hedgehog Type IV. The dimensions in green are the latest prototype Mezzanine (not mezz lite; prototype final design).

Note that there is a cumulative error in the connector placement.

Chamber End Wiring

Here is my view of a subset of the wiring at the readout end of an MDT. Included are DC power distribution, monitoring, readout and JTAG for front-end control. Not included are T, B sensors or any alignment functions. The purpose of this drawing is to provoke discussion on wiring issues which influence the signal patch panel design, which needs to be settled very soon.

3-Layer Mezzanine Card Drawings

Here is a page with the drawings for the 3-layer (Rev C) mezzanine card.

Chamber Coordinates and Readout/HV End definition

Here are a couple of sketches showing the MDT Local Coordinates and Readout/HV End as I understand it.

Faraday Cage Dimensions - Part IV  (28-Jan-99)

Here is an acrobat file with a title page and six drawings for the four types of endcap and two types of barrel chamber.  The proposed shrinkage of the faraday cage is shown.
