2. PSI-21-january-2004MEG Drift chambers2 New foil sample (.25  m Al), ~ 5 x 5 cm good quality 36 kCHF for 40 foils final design 1.Shape of the frame 2.Deformation by mechanical pre-tension Precise measurements (.1 mm) Flexibility in the procedure to digest differences between old and new foil

3. PSI-21-january-2004MEG Drift chambers3 Tension of the foil must give the same torque as the forces used to pre-tension the frame Constant during manipulation New tool to ‚transport‘ the frame, groove with O-ring around the edge to pump Inner cathode frame

5. PSI-21-january-2004MEG Drift chambers5 Same informations as for the inner cathode modify design of frame, f. ex. He „bag“ at the same pressure as chambers, bubbler,.... !! tool is very efficient !!
