Start with an assembly consisting of
| |
An outer cover is mounted over the assembly, which can have either 2 or 4 layers in it. The outer surface of the carrier board is still visible. | |
An endplate cove F is mounted. Barrel is ready to run. | |
Alternatively, you can turn the assembly over, and
mount the endcaps inside cone B and cylinder C, with electronics mounted
on the other side of carrier board D.
After this, mount the endplate F (from the previous picture). In addition, you can add beampipe covers over the endcaps. These go between beampipe cover A (from the top picture) to the endplates F. |
The carrier boards D are the main anchor plates. These can be made very stiff and hold the connections to the external mount points.
For strength, a series of posts going radially out from the joint between B and C can connect to outer cover C. The posts need to go in between barrel cables, pipes etc. Also posts parallel to the beampipe connecting outer cover E to the carrier boards, at the inner radius (~20cm) of E.
The halves have little strength against twisting around the z-axis, but are
very strong against twist after the two halves are locked together.
