New technicians hired for sTGC fabrication

28/04/2016/0 Comments/in News /by David Kouyoumdjian

Three new technicians have been hired to work in the sTGC fabrication.

Initially, they will be learning about the whole fabrication process, and then they will start polishing the cathodes until a superficial impedance of 100k has been achieved.
