• At SAO pipe
  1. FPC window transmission for all fpc windows, March 4-6, 1998 [Brad Wargelin]As of Mar. 12, we measured the blocking fraction of the support wires on the fpc_hn and fpc_x2 windows. Data quality was excellent and I get a preliminary result of about 11% blockage vs. the nominal 10%. I still need to correct for wire overlap, rounded corners, etc. Dick Goddard has also remeasured the fpc_hn and fpc_x2 blocking plates and I will tie that all together next week. measured the energy dependence of the wire blockage at Ti-K, Al-K, and C-K--haven't had time to look closely at results. This concludes FPC testing.
