Multiple trigger scintillators were installed: big ones covering the total surface of the sensor and several smaller ones. The former give a trigger for each beam particle. The latter are used to select a part of the sensor surface for efficiency measurements.

• Installation of the light tight cover for the SSD modules (the modules are behind the aluminium plate). The silicon sensors are sensitive to light tight, so ambient light will increase the noise and may even damage them.

• In ALICE particles will hit the sensors at oblique angles. This is partly simulated here by rotating the modules.

• The T10 beam produces a few hits per event. In ALICE the SSD will have to cope with many hits per strip. In the three centimeters of aluminium the beam will produce many secondary particles. This increases the chance of multiple hits per strip, although not to the level in ALICE.

• The read-out electronics boards contain ASICs (ALABUF and ALCAPONE) to condition and buffer the analog signals and to control the front-end chips (HAL25).
