Responsibility

The Penn State University group has taken responsibility for constructing the three tracking stations. This group has successfully deployed large MWPC's in E706 [71], as well as precision straw tube drift chambers in E706 [72] and E760, all at Fermilab. The group employs an experienced engineer (J. Passaneau), and has at its disposal laboratory facilities (large assembly hall with winding table, clean room, plastics shop, machine shop, electronics shop, CADCAM, etc.) necessary for the construction of the three stations. Large scale labor requirements are met by hiring undergraduate students who, under appropriate supervision, have been found to be very cost effective.
