Here is a brief status update on the chamber setup.

At the moment, we have all the main components required for the experiment related to the chamber:

• Vacuum chamber

• 2 × MSL type W DSSSDs

• 2 × MSL type W1 preamplifier units

• Sample support, feedthrough, and short cables

• 4 fans for the preamplifiers

• 2 cases for the preamplifiers

• Samples: 2 NaCl, 1 Boron, 1 Lithium, 1 dummy, and 1 empty

• Bias voltage cables for the preamplifiers

Please find attached some photos showing the current setup.

The only remaining item to be installed is the fans, which will be connected on Monday, February 2nd. We may also try installing the detectors soon; we have already tested the fit with a spare detector, and it fits well.

Additionally, the distance from the center still needs to be measured so that we can precisely determine the sample position from outside the chamber. We will need to add a reference mark for this.

Finally, if we decide to position the detectors further away from the beam, we will require longer bias voltage cables for the preamplifiers.

Please let me know if you need any further information.
