Kaon Aerogel Detector: the last stage of machining is ongoing at CUA. In detail a picture of the Box, where PMTs will be attached to collect light radiated in the detector.

Last News [C Winter User's Meeting] Two trays for n=1.02 and n=1.03 aerogel material have been shipped to JLab. Order for additional JFCC n=1.015 tiles (and n=1.010 for examination) in progress. Initial optical tests of JFCC n=1.015 aerogel tiles with spectrometer completed. Workshop on Neutral Particle Spectrometer. See page Neutral Particle Spectrometer See pictures of the Kaon Aerogel Detector here. New aerogel tiles arrived for the Kaon Aerogel Detector! They have refractive index of 1.015... extremely fragile! See pictures on the Kaon Aerogel Detector Construction. Pre-assembly of the Kaon Aerogel Detector already done! The last pieces of the detector are being finalized, and all the parts are being tested to check if they fit together. Check status on the Kaon Aerogel Detector page.
