dRICH Meeting - Mechanics

US/Eastern

Would be worth to define minimum and maximum safety limits for the temperature and pressure, in addition to the normal range of operation.

The number of PDUs in the mechanical model is 236, at variance with simulations (210), and pre-TDR (208). We need to converge on a number consistent with mechanical constraints and requirements from physics. 

In creating the aerogel structure, better to have equal pieces. 

The inefficient area in between the aerogel tiles accounts for the support structure, the opaque material, and the edge where part of the Cherenkov cone is lost on the tile side.

It is planned to create a mockup to test the mirror alignment system. The support bracket is used as temporary and less invasive solution.
