Party like its EIL4_A13!
The University of Washington has been involved with ATLAS for years now. The primary production activity has been the construction of about 1/3 of the forward muon chambers. This process took over 3 years of production work to build, and several more years of design work. About a year ago we had shipped over all of the chambers to CERN; we were done here at UW. But once at CERN there was a lot of work that had to be done -- leak testing, connecting & checking the electronics, etc. But, finally, the first chamber was mounted in ATLAS. The chamber's name is EIL4_A13 -- and you can see it there, inside ATLAS, mounted (there are a few other pictures if you click through). There was a party afterward. If you have quicktime installed and want to see a bunch of physicists drinking a champagne out of plastic cups, click here.
my suggestion is to use 2D[5] bit on the nurb lid as seen in ellis and dorigo... (jde-828)

1. In the quicktime short, we hear a voice saying, "One down, 511 to go." What is the person referring to?
2. I wish I could understand m.visaya's responses to these blogs. Could you please translate his above comment? He always seems to have something interesting and specific to offer with his few choice words combined with letter and number codes.
Gracias

I can't explain his comment.
There are 512 of the chambers. That was the first one installed... 511 to go. ;-)
