CU Group Work
We have carried out a series of measurements to characterize the new Silicon Photo Detectors that have recently been produced in Russia. This work has been carried out by Keith Drake and Elliot Smith. They have placed the exciting results on their web sites which you can access. smith's website and drake's website Our group at CU has created a number of documents that describe specifically the measurements we have made to determine how well we can carry out the construction of the scintillator based calorimeter:

• The work of Keith Drake, who has measured the thickness uniformity of the extruded scintillator produced at Fermilab. The extruded scintillator we received is nominally 5 mm. thick. The results are shown in this report.

• The work of Eric Erdos,Martin Nagel, and Jesse Smock to measure the relative improvement in light collection when we cover the scintillator with Radiant Film instead of Tyvec. This work is shown in this report.

The work of Keith Drake, Eric Erdos, Martin Nagel and Jesse Smock to determine whether we loose light when the scintillating fiber is bent down to radius of 2cm in radius. This work is in this report.
