The PRR has to verify/assess:
• Readiness of the tooling and of the production site
• Quality controls and assurance tests
• Material procurement and its flow
• Manpower availability
• Production ( and installation ) schedule

Production goal:
• 72 M1R4 (+4)• 12 M4R1 (+4)• 24 M4R2 (+4)• 48 M4R3 (+4)• 12 M5R1 (+4)• 24 M5R2 (+4)• 48 M2R3 (+4)
Total chambers: 240 (268)

EDR recommendations
1. A small ‘pre-production’ series should be constructed and tested for each chamber type ………the goal was to build and test 3 final M2R3 chambers and to test at least one in LNF with the radioactive source: we succeeded in building 2 of them, but due to time shortage, and many other commitments (…and a small accident…), only 2 were (nearly) built
2. At least one of these pre-production chambers of each type should have undergone a successful ageing test ………actually we have never tested our prototypes for ageing. We could perform a test in the near future at the GIF on the first chambers
3. The opening of the chambers should be exercised. In fact, the reviewers are mostly worried about the proposal to close two of the three chamber types by gluing…This has been already discussed in past
Ferrara 8 june 2004 M.Savrié 6
4. A wire replacement procedure should be defined and tested for each chamber type.
….we exercised the procedure several times on a M4R1 prototype and with a M2R3 “like” prototype. The tooling is already “designed”: it has just to be implemented (adapted) to the new site.
5. At nominal gas flow rate, the eventual formation of ‘pockets’ should be checked by efficiency mapping, especially in the case of the longest chamber type.……the general design of the chambers is the same as for LNF where this problem was already discussed and “understood”.
6. As the gap size is probably the most critical parameter for pulse height uniformity, an effort should be made to produce panels of best possible flatness.……..in fact we still see some problems but in a very small percentage of the panels ( see Stefano presentation)
Ferrara 8 june 2004 M.Savrié 7
7. The sagitta of the panels due to wire tension should be measured, for those panels carrying wires only on one side. ……it was already discussed and understood at LNF PRR but…… (see wander presentation)
8. The precision of the wiring should be checked on all pre-production chambers…… we do already for all the wired planes
9. Gluing should be handled with the utmost attention, with well tested, constant procedures, in particular under <50% humidity ……… the humidity control is very effective and the gluing procedures are already automatic and controlled by PC apart for the closing bars ( we are finalizing the code for the assembling table). Side bar gluing will be manual for all chanbers
10. Chamber materials and components (panels, bars, wires, glue, resistors and capacities…) should be identical as much as possible for all chamber types. ……largely achieved (already discussed at CERN and LNF PRR)
Ferrara 8 june 2004 M.Savrié 8
11. A well-defined testing procedure during production should be established with the pre-series, including some final two weeks of operation at nominal voltage with final gas mixture and flow. ….. It is in our program. For the first chamber we have still a big gas leak to be understood. HV test on each wire plane was successfully done ; HV test foreseen.
12. On the basis of the experience gained with the pre-production series, the production schedule should be re-evaluated ....we still have to experience the “real pre-production”, but we are quite confident in the proposed production schedule

Operations to be performedIn
Ferrara Production Center(1/2)
A. Outside the clean areas
1. Measurement of the height of the HV bars with respect to the cathode surface:
• On all the “pre-prduction” panels,• On 10% of the production panels ( if pre-production is O.K.),
2. Cleaning of the panels, visual check,check of the gas connections and the good geometry of the corners;
B. Inside the grey room1. Soldering of ground copper tapes on panels (in future it
will be done in Potenza);2. Final cleaning with isopropyl alcohol;

1. Panel supply• First delivery problems:
planarity (?) Gluing problems H.V. Bar “A type” where too high..now is O.K. Not very goog surface quality.... now is O.K. No signal connectors Problems with gas path
• Second delivery: 7 panels ( top covers ) Good quality
• Third delivery: 4 panels Some bad planarity and local defects 1 H.V. bar was detached
2. Material supply: O.K.3. Essentially we just started the “learning stage” of the production

Conclusions and worriesConclusions and worries
1. We already started but we still need a training period
2. Production of two panel/day is feasible but with no margin:• Time contingency in gone• Possible failure in the tooling
We have spare parts for quite everything but the “Marsilli” We are considering the possibility to prepare a spare tensioning
system “LNF/Firenze like”• Lack in material supply (as in recent past)• Not so good quality of the material• Maintenance of the tooling• Maintenance of the Clean Room ( general cleaning, replacement of the
filters)• Time to switch from one chamber type to another
3. Recovery could be possible only having some more man power
4. Two years production it is a very long time to go!• To maintain the production rate• For production quality
