'''3. Training for and Investigation into Fiber Gluing Techniques'''
Carl Nettleton left our lab group in February 2009, and I took over his portion of work for the GlueX project.
I completed three successful gluing sessions of fibers in February and March, and worked through all other aspects of the process as "practice runs" under Carl's supervision. I also completed the UConn Environmental Health and Safety class to work with and maintain the chemicals used in our lab.
The majority of my work with the fiber arrays this semester related to the design and fabrication of a new gluing apparatus. It is my hope (as well as my experienced prediction) that this apparatus, coupled with the new optical epoxy mixture, will produce results that are far superior to the previous method used for gluing the optical wave guides to the scintillators.
