From Hall A Wiki
- Updates
- ECal
- Timeline for installation
- All PMTs installed this week
- working on main cable trays from detector to bunker
- next week main enclosure, can start cabling
- cosmics by end of October
- waiting for 39 FADCs end of October
- Cosmics trigger : self trigger start to look at self trigger like NPS - Hanjie almost done with cosmics trigger firmware
- ECAL students : Mahmoud VT, Kip UConn ( Simulation + hardware installation ), Jhih-ying (Fadc SCALER ...) UMass ( HCal )
- need software for calibration and set VTP thresholds (Jhih-ying ?)
- long cables from ESB last going in
- cabling of FADC next week - will connect crate to network and TS when they are done
- ECAL VTPs put together with SSP - no V1495 in final setup
- Timeline for installation
- HCAL
- Jiwan and Ji Hing measured delay for VTP and analog - 2.5 uS for new firmware -
- FADC scalers for HCal being implemented
- Ben asked David Abbott to update to CODA run control for the sync reset so we can have digital trigger and GEM
- sync reset enabled in DAQ now - might need to disable if GEM take data - might need to run HCAL , ECAL and GEM separately until CODA update
- TS crate - but might get single DAQ -
- HCAL TDC ? : reference time - V1495 output and analog - Trigger time from TS - could put trigger to look at efficiency
- CDet
- CDet moved in Hall A, all 6 modules, frame in 1 or 2 weeks, some things to move from Test Lab
- Start taking cosmics with full detector readout
- 1 months : cables needed to be made, 3 modules to be retroffited
- HV : Lecroy crate in HRS - still need two negative HV to use as spare - maybe need 2 more to power the detector
- CNU students : Jacob, May and Gabriel
- software : plan to use high resolution software for VETROC
- GEMs
- arranged fibers on MPD crates
- will work connecting to VTP and start low level
- scintillator paddles for cosmics trigger : ~ estimated 1 week for flushing nitrogen + Ar 2nd week of September
- ordered additionnal fibers
- LV : could be turned on - using the SBS LV supply - New channels to be installed on break out
- LV current : need to follow
- test optical fiber
- add firmware to MPD for monitoring
- Histogramming method : ready to be studied - could be compiled for 32 MPDs
- INFN VTP : check VXS key need to be tighen up
- Beamline
- to be recabled
- will ask to Ciprian
- ECal
