[dsg-eic_dirc] Questions on EIC DIRC optical table sidewalls

[Tyler Lemon]

Hello everyone,

With the laser controlled area construction well underway, we're starting to look at the finer details of what is needed for the laser controlled area, specifically, the side walls for the optical table.

With that, I have some sets of questions on the optical table sidewalls and test set up:

1. Sidewall material:
Does the material have to be explicitly specified for laser applications?
Example: https://www.thorlabs.com/thorproduct.cfm?partnumber=TPS6

Would any similar material that we could customize for our table be okay?

Does the material have to be metal?
Could we use a thick plastic sheeting?

2. Stand for laser on optical table:
The photos of previous set ups have the laser on an extruded aluminum stand, rather than resting on the table. Will we use a similar stand?
How tall would the stand be?
Do we need to procure the stand materials?

Thanks,
Tyler
