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 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. 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. Summer students projects are being a great opportunity for learning at CUA Nuclear Physics Group! See Summer 2012 page here.
