- and one LTU nine channel chamber of dimension 40cmx40cmx5cm. This chamber array will be surrollllded by two 19cmx 19cm scintillation counters. These cOllllters will cover the central active area ofthe chambers. 2.3.2 This setup of the three chambers sandwiched by the two large scintillation counters will be placed on the movable table. The coincidence of these two large cOllllters along with three 1cmxIcm finger counters placed in front of the chamber but off the movable array will provide the primary trigger. This setup allows the chamber array to move with respect to the beam location for the position scan. The trigger will be formed using NIM coincidence modules. Space for a NIM crate near the trigger cOllllters is needed. The experimenters will setup trigger counters, using components already in existence at MTBF or at equipment pooL 2.3.3 Each 1cm x Icm pad in the GEM anode board is connected to a preamplifier mounted on the chamber. The signal from the preamplifiers is then fed into a shaper to increase the width of 50ns chamber signal to 4 10 !As. The shaper is going to be powered through a CAMAC crate. So the experimenters need a space to hold this CAMAC crate near the chamber array. The signal from the shaper board is then sent to the ADLINK ADC card installed in the DAQ computer via two 2m long SCSI cables. This DAQ computer must be located close to the chamber array inside the enclosure. This computer must be on the local area network since it is controlled and monitored by another computer outside enclosure. 2.3.4 Droege HV supplies are used to power chambers, and thus need a rack space to hold and power a NIM crate. The experimenters will also need a rack space to mount three low voltage power supplies. 2.3.5 Access to the beam area will be needed periodically for installation and cabling. 2.4 SCHEDULE
- 2.4.1 The experimenters will initiate these tests in March of 2007 and propose to complete in two weeks after the start of setup - one week for setup and one week for actual data taking, mixed with rapid return.

- proton stacking rate or protons on target for neutrino production by more than 5% globally, with the details of scheduling to be worked out between the experimenters and the Office ofProgram Planning. 4.2 PARTICLE PHYSICS DIVISION: 4.2.1 4.2.2 The test beam efforts in this MoU will make use of the Meson Test Beam Facility. Requirements for the beam and user facilities are given in Section 2. The Particle Physics Division will be responsible for coordinating overall activities in the MTest beamline, including use of the user beam-line controls, readout of the beam line detectors and the MTest gateway computer. [0.5 person weeks] The experimenters will require use of the remote controlled motion table, with movement in both vertical and horizontal directions. 4.3 COMPUTING DIVISION: 4.3.1 4.3.2 4.3.3 Ethernet and a printer should be available in the counting house. Connection to beams control console and remote logging (ACNET) should be made available in the counting house. Ethernet should be available inside the beam enclosure to connect the DAQ computer onto the local area network. 4.3.4 Beam position tracking system data should be passed to the DAQ computer and written into data files in conjunction with GEM chamber data. 4.4 ES&H SECTION
