Comments on Chapters 1 and 2 (8 June 2014)
refer to version compiled on 7 June 2014 (122 pages)
Chap. 1 - Introduction
153 inclusive -> single (muon trigger)
164 with Monte Carlo muon gun samples
167 benefit in what measure?
201 20 mm in z
Section 2.1 Technology Overview
230 some overlap between 2.1 (technology overview) and 1.2 (project overview).
check for consistency
236 "across the two faces of the foil" not quite the right explanation
242 define (introduce) the terms "drift field region", "electron
transfer gaps", "induction field region"
246 use sentence structure for bullet points?
249 angular resolution
304 Is such a detailed exposition of diffusion necessary? Is this information
used in the simulation described later in section 2.2?
Fig. 2.3, 2.4 - is there a reference for these data? how obtained?
Section 2.2 Prototyping Results and Validation
393 not sure what "validation" refers to in 2.2 section title (maybe this
means validation of the simulation by comparing it to data)
****
Section 2.2.2 still rough - hard to comment upon
****
Fig. 2.8 font size too small
Fig. 2.9 not needed since Fig. 2.2 shows the gap geometry.
Figs. 2.10 and 2.11 need discussion in text
474 what is relevance of the z-axis location?
480 define "Penning effect"
Section 2.3 Technical Design of Chambers
578 laminated -> coated (lamination refers to a multi-layer structure)
578 we don't use double-sided resist method - not sure that a discussion is
merited here
Fig. 2.20 font size too small at left of figure. Figure is disorganized:
small font descriptions don't line up with schematic drawings; small font
descriptions need editing
Fig. 2.21 the figure needs some discussion in the text (or caption). There
are places where the font is so small it is illegible.
Eqn. 2.2 What is the origin of the factor 8/pi^2? Why doesn't the ratio
start out at zero at t=0? Why would the ratio be exactly 1-8/pi^2 at t=0?
636 Specifically, how will the Young's modulus be utilized in the assembly
and testing?
Fig. 2.23 too small to see font and detail.
648 define "S2" method
In section 2.3.3.1 on foil flatness measurement, the figure numbers are
not quoted correctly in the text.
Figures 2.24, 2.25, and 2.26 need work to convert from slide format.
2.3.5.3 HV Power Supply
If an HV divider circuit is not going to be used then its description
should be dropped. This includes text and Figs. 2.27, 2.29, 2.30,
2.31, and 2.33.
