Acceptance test at Duke
Seog Oh/ Duke University/June, 2003 TRT/ ATLAS week at CERN
After completion of stringing (still in the stringing station) HV testing of each straw at 1700 volts in air
No arcing Current <10 A About 5-10% wires fail Replace them.
Tension measurement. Acceptance criteria 128 Hz < Tension < 170 Hz Tfront – Tback < 3 Hz About ~1% wires fail the test Replace them
Seal the tension plate and purging volume Straw volume <1 mb/bar/min Purging volume < 10 mb/bar/min

Signal Test Use X-ray scanner Ar-CO2(70-30) but no CO2 in the purging volume
Current is recorded at 1600 Volts.– No attempt to reduce the current below ~100 nA but the current
draw is typically less than a few hundred nA after fixing noisy channels.
Wires with HV problem are removed and re-strung if necessary. Usually there are one or two wires per module with the problem.
No problem for a few days ADC spectrum is recorded from the front and back.
Check the signal shape and counting rate.– Reverse voltage is applied to the noisy straws– There are a couple of channels per module fail the signal test.
These wires are removed and re-strung if necessary.• Bad wire-joint: front and back are connected• No signal: a wire is not connected to a socket• Very noisy channel

When modules leave Duke, no more than 1% of straws are dead. The passport has a list of bad wires with reasons for failure. ~1/2 of the wires can be saved with re-stringing.
Dimension check Use the fixture from IU to make sure module dimensions are
within the specification.
Ready for gain mapping.
