Dubna report

M. Kazarinov

17.5.1999


Dear colleagues,
this is a report for a period 1 - 17 of May (you know that we had ten
days holydays during this period)

1.  Long term test was finished on 15.05
    Leakage current at 2.0kV       30% humidity       40% humidity
     for full stack                   105nA		 390nA
2.  We have got the second load of padboards from a custom store
    on 14.05 (almost 2 months for formalities)
3.  Copper plates for the mod #18 will be ready at the end of May
4.  We hope to get ready padboards and EST electrodes at the same
    time (after 2 weeks of HV test)
5.  Rough facing and boundary cut for Mod #19,20 are in progress
6.  People started to work on the new US baths
7.  We need around 2 weeks for the improvements of our clean room
    (a new heater and ventilator should be installed)
8.  We need a information concerning passivation. Either we do it or
    not. We hope that this question can be solved at the general HEC
    meeting.
9.  We faild to find a material for the shims. The leader of our workshop
    informed us today that it is not possible to find it in Russia
    for a reasonable price.
10. We hope to bring our module to CERN in time (7.06) but have some
    problems with transportation for a moment partly financial.

    Nobody from Dubna can give a status report at the general HEC 
    meeting, you can use this information as its written version.
