Mu3e craning video
I agree to display content from external services. They may receive and store personal data.Today the Mu3e detector was craned from the statging area to the piE5 beam area, where we plan to take beam with final detector elements from all three subdetectors in June.
The craning needs careful preparation, as all cables and cooling pipes need to be disconnected and any loose ends need to be fixated to protect the extremely fragile detector.
The detector cage was then craned into the piE5 area, where the Mu3e solenoid magnet was already waiting. In the next week, the beamline delivering muons to Mu3e will be set up here.
Using a rail system, the detector was then inserted into the magnet. During that procedure, all protective covers have to ber removed. After insertion, the transport cart is craned away and the area is ready for setting up the beam line.
The very delicate insertion went smoothly and the crew at PSI is ready for re-establishing all the cable and cooling connections.
