Abstract

Author Pavel Nevski

Created 27 March 1996

* tentative dimension set according to the:
*  - 'VPD geometry' note by Z.Milosevich et al.
*  - L.Geiner drawings and numbers
*  7-18-96 Modified by Z. Milosevich
*          Detector positions corrected and set according to STAR Note
* 10-10-96 Modified by Z. Milosevich
*          Silicon Material in radiator replaced by quartz (SiO2)
* 10-30-96 Modified by Z. Milosevich
*          Detector position put at 290 cm to accommodate FTPC
