Timeschedule
Monday (4.1.) should be used to do as much planning as possible so that we can start "working" with all available people on tuesday.

Other work
Other work that can be done by us with the help of the Werkstudenten if no MDC-work is available:
- place optical cables along mainframe
- finish cleaning up of piles of unsorted cables in the back part of the cave
- help Andreas building holding structures for TRB-stacks
- help Torsten laying LV-power cables
Testing chambers
- we have two MDC AddOns and three FanPW available. This is two complete test setups to test two chamber independently in parallel.
- two people should work together in testing one chamber
- Besides cabling of plane 1, in-depth testing of all chambers has priority!
Bookkeeping
These pages have to be maintained!
