Goals for the TC/Muon System

• Provide a reasonable snapshot of the tail-end of
  the shower for simulation validation
• Prototype detector with high-fidelity to what is
  imagined for a generic LCD
• correcting for leakage
• understanding the impact of coil
• muon reconstruction eflow
• fake rate

Absorber and Cart
for their support
Our thanks to

• Good quality steel plates from Fermi scrap
  available (0.75 and 4 inches thick).
• Maximum size for the thicker plates is 1.066m x
  1.2m.
• Cart being designed with about 10 tonne load
  capacity.
• Will have the capability for forward-backward and
  left-right motion.

Quality Control I

• Hole Tolerance
• Width and thickness measurements
• Dopant presence
• Attenuation length measurements
• Longitudinal and horizontal scans

Summary

• Strip-fiber RD essentially done, we are entering
  construction phase.
• All the scintillator required for the device has
  been produced.
• Assembly of the prototype cassette starts next
  week.
• Aim to have the first layer readout with the test
  beam electronics in Dec.
