OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABORATORY (O.R.N.L.), Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA Apr 91-Apr 94
Experimental Design Engineer
My participation in this experiment led to first a four-month, and then a long-term assignment, via a cooperative scientific exchange program between ITEP and ORNL through the University of Tennessee (UT), Knoxville.
In 1991 I became actively involved in the development of a proposed new detector for the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory in Dallas, Texas, USA. The L^* Detector, was also led by Dr. Ting and again ITEP was a lead physics institute.
After learning AutoCAD at ITEP in Moscow I was able to work full-time on this system from the beginning of my assignment in the US. Specific designs for which I was responsible included the machine and manufacturing details for 240 liquid sealed containers holding a total of 1500 tons of iron and copper. Layout and detail configuration drawings, in three dimensions, of a crystal matrix array. This array included a thin walled carbon composite structure, photomultipliers and prisms.
With the introduction of Intergraph EMS at ORNL and the SSCL in 1992 I began to full time 3D modeling, design of Hadron Calorimeter, Liquid Calorimeter, Forward Calorimeter and Central Detector Support to evaluate and optimize designs, assembly procedures and sequences. This included 3D-modeling of the Calorimeter piping, pumping and cabling layouts for which the Intergraph EMS system was able to provide a critical input leading to significant design changes in the overall system. Also designed robotics for the remote operation of nuclear reactors and tokomaks. I have continued to expand my computer based engineering skills by learning the parameter based Pro-ENGINEER design system. This system has enabled me to perform finite element and systems analysis with the same system used to perform the basic mechanical design.

MOSCOW INSTITUTE FOR THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS (I.T.E.P.), Moscow, USSR/Russia Nov 85-Apr 91
Experimental Design Engineer
Participated in the design of components for the L₃ subatomic particle detector for the Centre EuropŽen pour le RecherchŽ NuclŽaire (CERN) Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland was the focus of my career at ITEP. The leader of this experiment is the Nobel Laureate Dr. S. C. C. Ting; ITEP is a lead collaborating institute. I developed and managed the fabrication of several devices for the large scale production of 5600 gas tight chambers. Typical of this work was a shuttle device which was used to successfully install over 260,000 wires in a period of two years. In addition, I designed measuring equipment for the manufacture of 15,000 uranium plates weighing a total of 300 tons, which again required a special interface with MinSredMash. I actively participated in the installation, start-up and use of the production equipment for both the muon chambers and the calorimeter. Both systems were delivered ahead of schedule from ITEP to CERN, both were installed on schedule and are continuing to perform successfully.
Other experimental systems for which I have provided designs are utility stanchions for the 400 MeV atomic particle collider at ITEP and the experimental parallel plate chambers (PPC) for the detection of muons.
