The long journey of the U.S.-made SBND APAs reaches a milestone. Delivery of both APAs to Fermilab (along with the field-cage modules made by our Yale colleagues). Now TPC construction can proceed full-speed ahead. See some photos of the truck arriving, and Pip and company supervising the unloading.
The wiring team has finished the 2nd US-made SBND APA! See a time-lapse video below. We are now working on packing everything, and everyone, up and moving things to Fermilab for detector construction. We are extremely appreciative of everyone at Wright Lab who has contributed to this project and helped us along the way.
The first US-made SBND APA has recently been completed! The crew at Wright Laboratory have been working very hard to reach this milestone. Watch the time-lapse video to see their progress over the last several months. Wiring of APA #2 will start very soon.
Pip and Avinay have been hard at work wiring the first of 2 Anode Plane Assemblies (APAs) for the SBND experiment. This is work being done in collaboration with our Yale colleagues, who are graciously hosting us at Wright Laboratory. Several hundred wires are done, a few thousand more to go!
