HERA-B Technical Documentation

The Technical Documentation of the HERA-B detector is provided by the central design-pool (W1) at DESY/Hamburg. The CAD program used for this purpose is I-DEAS Release 6 (SDRC/USA). Such a system has the following benefits:

Conflicts of different detector elements can be easily recognized.
All detector elements, wherever they have been designed, will be included in the model either be transfering 2-D drawing or files of other 2-D CAD systems. File transfer at the 3-D level is only possible within identical systems. Therefore the complete information is available at DESY. The 3-D team, the Hallendienst and the technical coordinator have thus all relevant information at hand for a trouble-free integration of all detector elements.
Overview drawings will be distributed to all institutes at reasonable time scales.
The 3-D team designs in addition support structures, finds free space for cables etc.
A 3-D model allows to provide 2-D cuts of the detector along every plane.
Colorful 3-D drawings are very helpful for discussions and for propaganda.

If you need files in special formats, or have any suggestions or comments, please contact H.B. Peters who is the head of the HERA-B 3D-team.

The most important z-positions (including the results of the most recent detector survey) of all detector elements (last update 18/07/00) are available as Postscript-file and PDF-file. for the geometry 2000

and the new geometry 2002 (last update 14/12/01): Postscript-file and PDF-file..
