Abstract

It is easy to say Just float and mount the carbon foils". However learning the art can be more difficult than old masters have shown it to be. In this article we will share our experience of some difficulties we have had at Australian National University (ANU). We also present results from some in beam endurance testing of foils using carbon supplied by Vacuum Technology (Germany), Micromatter (Canada) and those made at the ANU (Australia).
