The TOB cosmic rack
The TOB
cosmic rack is an intermediate step between a single rod and the full TOB
tracker and will consist of twenty TOB rods with two scintillators. It will
be used for system and integration tests. I am in charge of the software
coordination, and Michael
Eppard is in charge of the hardware coordination.
A large variety of material exists about the Cosmic Rack and the software
used. You can find more information on the
linked page.
On the right you can see a screenshot of a 3D-Animation of the
Cosmic Rack which has been done on a Saturday night. The animation has been
developed with KPovModeler and
calculated with the Persistence of
Vision ray tracer.
The simulation is far from complete:
- The frame is a solid piece.
- The modules consist only of hybrids and sensors occupying the full space.
- The rods are equipped with only three modules (no top/bottom).
- Cables, ICC's, Optohybrid's etc. are missing.
- The second row of the Cosmic Rack is not tilted.
You can download the cosmic rack
animation (size 2.6M, resolution 800x600).
