    • Purifiers: not needed, but gas system for C4F10 required
    • Cooler: Cooling for PMT matrix, air or water
    • Supply lines: dry N2, water, C4F10

  • Cables: Area of cables leaving the detector Hopefully not crucial at this point, as detector is part of the forward spectrometer, not inside the target spectrometer.

  • Support
    • Weight of the Detector The weight of the detector is estimated to be about 8000 kg. This is based on the weight of the HERMES RICH of 4200 kg and an external support structure.
    • Support Ideas Support frame similar to the one used by LHCb RICH.
    • Support Points Detector Box
    • Veto areas, where other subsystems are forbidden to connect to: Nothing special.

  • Aligment Optical and mechanical. Special care will have to be taken with the mirror alignment.

  • Environment requirments like temperature, humidity: We will have to cool the PMT matrix. Air cooling may be sufficient, but also water cooling may be an option. We assume that the humidity will be controlled in the target hall in any case. The aerogel radiator will be flushed continuously with dry nitrogen.
