New Doublets
Two more doublets have been produced
Archive for year: 2017
High Voltage Testing
The new cathodes are being submitted to High Voltage tests in order to make sure they can be used for making a new chamber.
Space distribution
The space in the laboratory is being re-organized. All cathodes are being re-accommodated
Cable soldering
Production of a new chamber has started, today, technicians have been using the winding machine in order to solder the cables to the pads.
New Doublet produced
A new doublet has been fabricated using the two chambers that had been recently closed.
More chambers have been closed
During today, two more chambers have been closed. Later today they will be put together in order to make a Doublet.
New team members
As of today, two new technicians will be working on the fabrication of sTGC detectors. Johana Sanhueza and Nicolas Ide will be joining the team and at first, they will be receiving training from our more experienced technicians: Francisco Valenzuela, Cesar Gonzalez and Felipe Caballero.
The assemble of wedges has begun
During July and August 2017, technicians and engineers have been working at CERN installations to assemble the first stgc Wedge. This complex process consists on joining the different sTGC detectors that have been fabricated on each construction site and joining them in one piece. The Anillo 1406 project has sent 2 engineers, Rimsky Rojas and David Kouyoumdjian during these months in order to participate activity in the ATLAS collaboration.
First Laparoscopic probe in Chile!
Tuesday 5th, June 2017, a date that will be remembered in the Anillo 1406 project history. One day before, Francisco Martinez had gone to to show doctors of Clínica Universidad Católica in Santiago his finally completed inter-operative gamma probe.
Doctors were so pleased with the device that asked if they could test it in a real surgery, so they left the probe sterilizing for 10 hours and got the approval of the patient to use. Next day, and for the first time in Chile’s history, a successful radio-guided Laparoscopic surgery for endometrial Cancer was performed by Jorge Brañes, doctor of Clínica Universidad Católica (Santiago, Chile).
This achievement was possible due to the ideas of professor Serguei Kuleshov, with the collaboration and help of Francisco Martinez.
