** spectro-photometer (according to Marco Contalbrigo who has a broken one at INFN Ferrara) for example https://resources.perkinelmer.com/lab-solutions/resources/docs/bro_lambda950850650americas.pdf . This can be used to measure the reflectivity of the mirror surface as a function of the wavelength, if used in conjunction with its integrating sphere. As is is not easy to work with large or spherical mirrors, usually small samples are used (same substrate, same coating cycle). I expect spectrophotometer should provide better precision and therefore a calibration/validation benchmark. What is the declared precision of the Tyler system (I mean error on absolute reflectivity) ? Is it nominal or measured?

**** For the mirror surface mapping done by survey group, an example of the data gotten from that is on page 7 of the slides linked below. https://www.jlab.org/div_dept/physics_division/dsg/presentations2/RICH%20Status%20Report%20Aug%2010%202016.pdf. The data were gotten with survey group's portable CMM (coordinate measuring machine). They then gave detector support group the data to do some analyses, like calculating the mirror dimensions and radius of curvature with the data points. Example results from these analyses start on page 7 of the slides linked below. https://www.jlab.org/div_dept/physics_division/dsg/presentations2/RICH%20Status%20Update%202016-09-28.pdf

**** https://www.jlab.org/accel/survalign/scopeservices/inspection.html (according to Marco Contalbrigo) the first machine (in that web page) could serve in measuring the mirror dimensions (thickness, diagonals,...). This is important to verify the mirrors do not interfere each other (a minimum clearance is required for alignment, but one wants to minimize the dead area). The JLab survey group actually measured the mirror dimensions with a portable version of the first coordinate measuring machine. The second instrument (in that web page) was used to verify the mirror position inside the RICH after assembling. It was also done by JLab survey group.

window and pressure vessel

  • window materials
    • tedlar/mylar/tedlar from Madico
    • "We have used this type of material for spectrometer vacuum windows. It is made of high end sail cloth (actual sail material for boats). It is not the easiest material to work with but will most likely work for you. You may have to pretension the cloth depending on the manufacturer." from David Meekins of jlab target group, https://www.sailmakerssupply.com/product/racing-laminate-sailcloth-seconds/sailcloth, It's actually Kevlar/Mylar laminates
    • cheap kevlar, http://www.mcmaster.com/#kevlar/=14kwgqs , Its thickness 0.6mm is a bit bigger than 0.4mm used by BNL vacuum window, Not sure if it's because it's "cut resistant"
    • 2024 Al ~1mm thick
