Gas Systems: Endcaps
Lecture by John Brooks Howard (Morehouse College, Atlanta)
CERN, Geneva, 09 Aug 2001

Summary of Talk:

John Brooks Howard worked on determining the resonant frequencies of oscillation of bars which support the detectors on the end caps of the ATLAS detector. Frequencies in the wrong range could cause movement in the detectors, throwing off the particle track measurements. To determine the eigenfrequency, the bars were forced to vibrate using a piezo quartz cylinder and a function generator. The amplitude of the bar's vibration was then determined. Results from this work will be used to design the support structures for the detector.

Additional Notes:

This lecture has no accompanying slides. Instead, we present the lecture by itself with higher resolution (320x240), which means higher bandwidth is required (optimized for 80Kbs).
