Title: CSC large panel R&D summary for the SSC GEM muon subsystem

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10171493· OSTI ID:10171493

The GEM Detector uses 1,128 Cathode Strip Chamber (CSC) muon detectors requiring a total of approximately 10,000 precision panels in the CSC assemblies. These panels must be fabricated to extreme tolerances in order to meet the physics requirement. A fabrication technique used to produce two large panels, nominally 1 by 3 meters, is described and the resulting panel precision is reported.
