Adriani, L. Bonechi, E. Mocchiutti and +S. Ricciarini on the 20th of December 2005.. These positions were +lightly approximated. + +ND GEOMETRY COMPLETED. +The He3 and the polyethylene (CH2) have been added to fill +the volumes NDTI and NDPB in the neutron detector. Leonov gave us the +details of these materials. + +TOP PLATE GEOMETRY ADDED. +The top plate geometry has been simulated as a N2 box that has the same +dimensions of CATA. Inside it, at the right positions, there are S2 and CATA. +The real top plate is a rectangular window having a thickness of 0.5 cm +(volume TPTL emptied by the volume TPCV). This volume is filled with a mixture +of titanium (90%), aluminum (6%) and vanadium (4%). Other parts of titanium +are the four volumes TPTU, which are positioned at the corners of TPTL at the +same height of CATA, and the four volumes TPTM, which are positioned at the +corners of TPTL, at the same height of S2. +The geometry of the top plate is based on a simplified version of the CAD +drawings. + October 2006, Bari The geometry of the neutron detector has been updated. Some dimensions of some -volumes have been corrected while the aluminum cover and the aluminum boxes to +volumes have been corrected and the aluminum cover and the aluminum boxes to put the cables have been added. A new material, the cadmium, has been also defined.
