A Prototype Plank and a 1/5th Scale Model (2002)

A prototype plank by Vanderbilt university, which consists of 32 stainless tubes in two rows and a gas manifold at each end. Click the image for details
A 1/5th scale model of two toroids and a quadrant seen from different angles. Each toroid is represented by a transparent plastic octagonal mold. Between the mini toroids, we put the mini quadrant, which consists of two aluminum sheets overlapped each other over 1/3 of its surface area. If you study the image closer, you would notice each aluminum sheet supports one view on each side. Each view consists of 12 or 13 aluminum panels, which represent corresponding mini plates.

The muon people are discussing on installation of the muon system in the C0 area using the scale model. You can see the mini support structure built over the mini toroids. The black board behind the scale model represents a wall of the C0 area, clearly showing the limited space allowed for the system. Click the image for details Click the image for details
