From Hall A Wiki
- Updates
- HCal
- Cables from FE to bunker : about 20% done ~ 2weeks to complete - could use man power to unroll cable while 2 people installing
- 5 to 9 Sebastian and Provokar out of town
- power to HCAL racks - still no power - issue with transformer - Jack thinks transformer might not have enough power
- Bigbite Shower
- starting laying cable
- HV cables were found to be to short ( 25 m - need 30 m) - 10 m extension found - making more extensions - signals cables not laid out
- HV location changed
- BB shower VXS
- Bigbite Hodoscope
- working in Hall staging cables : ADC cables in bunker ready to be plug when BB cable tray is installed, waiting for cable tray for detector to bunker
- Rachel and David working on SBS-Offline software
- GRINCH
- Fully cabled : ADC and TDC at both ends, some slack left in middle way, can adjust if needed
- ADC cables on detector
- just need HV to take data
- LV cable needs to be extended for NINO supply
- some cables connectors need to be repaired
- will setup GRINCH CODA on counting house computer
- repeater rack is in bunker - 100 m TDC cables
- LHRS
- Maria plots of A1
- VDC maybe one bad card : Jack knows about it
- Scaler server from Steve setup for both crates
- Scaler ordered postponed to Oct 1
- CDet
- taking data, fixing problems
- identified replacement PMTs
- HV still running
- GEM BB Hall A
- fibers setup
- LV ready
- can power up on Monday
- Bryan get closer to completion, Ben showed ROC part working for FADC
- ready next week for VTP in Hall A if needed
- GEM INFN Test Lab
- Test SSP readout
- GEM UVA
- working on shielding
- Beamline
- software, monitoring scripts almost setup, writing shifter documentation
- looking at PREX alarm handler
- Helicity
- Bob and Paul, will go in LHRS to install scalers - One scaler has a bad user bit 2 and on has a broken NIM input - could use ECL - ECL scaler - could use one scaler from scaler crate at entrance of hall
- work on analysis software TQWeak class compatible and should be
- HV
- Scalers
- 2eVME
- Crate to be installed under hodoscope
- HCal
- VME controllers
- Bryan helping set up, most should be up in a few days
- On-going tasks
- Network setup ( done )
- Scaler crate setup (75 % - need put crate in / setup cpu )
- 3 rd GEM VXS crate install router moved up ( 75% )
- need power and network in GEM bunker
- detector accounts setup ( check with Ole )
- boot VME controllers (GRINCH Hodo Shower , 2GEM crate up ~60 % controller booted - Bryan setting up as in TEDF - need setup MPD new controllers)
- detector cabling -
- new MPD production - about to start - need to ship our FPGA to Paolo
- MPD VTP readout - on-going in daq lab - being setup in Hall A - need setup VTPs to boot
- setup portservers
- need to install remote switch for crate in bunker - rest are VXS or VME64
- Bigbite - HCal trigger setup
- TS setup - 0%
- Beamline crate setup ( in scaler crate )
- HCAL cabling
- HCAL need power
- Mark hodoscope trigger ?
- Computer move to Hall A : sbsdaq1/2 tedbbdaq enpcamsonne
- LHRS fiber pull
- Outstanding issues
- 2 bad FADCs Bigbite - 1 FADC was repaired - one being repaired - 1 Compton FADC
- SD delay : still need 2 SDs ( Glasgow and INFN just requested quote )
- need to adjust for HCAL transit time with different PMTs
- status of cosmics paddles ( installed by Bogdan )
- GEM fibers too short : 60 m ordered
- 15 bad MPDs
