Reconfiguration of MoNA

While reconfiguring MoNA for an upcoming experiment, the students found out just how many cables there are!

Q: How long are all MoNA cables (signal and high-voltage) combined?

(A) 8075 m
(B) 5 miles
(C) as long as the Mackinac Bridge

If you know the answer, write it on a card, attach it to a CAEN V977 I/O register with fully programmable RORA interrupter and individual channel enabling/disabling, and mail it to
1 Cyclotron, East Lansing, MI 48824.

MoNA reconfigured: the modular array was split and detector modules were placed side-by-side in order to achieve a larger angular coverage.
