The MEG Detector

Placed in SLS hall for the initial test. The installation in πE5 is planned this April. COBRA arrived at PSI!

Excitation Test at PSI Excitation test was done between Jan.17-27,2004. Full excitation for SC and 8% excitation for NC because of limited utility at SLS. Field mapping study is starting at SLS hall.
