New prototype + wiring test



Dear Collegues,

Today we saw signals coming of the new prototype for the first time! 
Pictures of the current setup can be viewed on:

Traces of the signals (cosmic ray and Fe-55 induced):

I think that they look very nice. A lot more tests are forseen in 2009.



Gary finished the prototype to do the wiring tests:

At the moment it looks much better than the wiring of the prototype. We of 
course plan to extend the plates in order to simulate going in with your 
arms to connect the wires. Next thing we plan after that is testing 
Slava's approach. The distance between the plates is 4 inches, the longest 
wire is 4.5 inches.


Cheers,
 	Yves
