[Dsg-rtpc] RTPC Valve panel revision - added target and cathode purge gas supply - see attachment

[kuhn]

Just for clarification: The region between ground foil and cathode is INTERNALLY connected to the drift region (inside the RTPC itself). The slight overpressure we were talking about can be achieved by properly dimensioning that internal connection and the gas flow. So all we need is 2 gas lines for that inner volume (split from a single gas line) and a single exhaust gas line from the RTPC.
The question about the buffer volume (between target and ground foil) is separate. Originally we wanted to use pure 4He for that buffer region. Recently, we have considered using the same gas mix (He/CO2) just to simplify the setup. But in any case this needs a separate inlet and outlet gas line, with bubbler, pressure sensor, and flow meter.
