A list
of halogen-free cables, which can be purchased in the DESY
central store, was prepared.
The cable laying for HERA-B was organized by G. Knust, who stopped to work
for us because he is on a pension now. Kai Ludwig is taking care of the
cable installation (ludwig@hera-b.desy.de, Tel. DESY 2842). In close
collaboration with the subsystems a detailed list of all cables connecting
the detector with the electronics trailer was prepared. These are the
official cable lists of HERA-B being updated frequently. The
subsystem coordinators have to check this list and report any problems,
changes etc.
8 different cable chains have been ordered to guide the cables and tubes from the experiment to the electronics container. The ninth chain will house the water pipes and electrical cables for the trailer. Chain 10 will guide the gas tubes which come from the outside gas hut via shaft 152 and go into the electronics container. Details and the actual estimate of the width of the cable chains can be found in Cross section of cables.
The different installation scenarios determining the length of the chains
are depicted in installation scenarios
for the different detector platforms.
