12Conclusions
- The thermal and vibe tests on trays are well
understood - The vibe test rate in Centrotecnica is adequate
- The thermal test rate with the Perugia equipment
in Terni is just sufficient, but the test lines
will be doubled - The mechanics to perform cosmic rays tests is
under construction. The flux allows a test in
realistic time. The mini-tower experience will be
the ground base to define the cosmic rays test.
