Contents
Progress from this past week
- Chandan and Lars have connected the BB regulators to gas supply
- Jacob and Asar have installed the new filters on the GEMs
Setting up cosmic readout
- Clean up cables
- Set up DAQ computer (we will use adaq1)
- Set up the third VTP crate (mostly done)
- Rearrange fibers, HV and NIM cables.
- Set up the scintillators and form the trigger
- Connect the GEM to LV
- Set up the MPDs (connecting the HDMIs to MPDs)
- Begin low level test (find and replace any problematic APV, mpd, etc)
- Begin HV conditioning on N2
- Switch over to ArCO2
GEp preparations
- Our GEM task list is here: workplan
- Remove layers, isolate shorted sectors, repair APVs as needed
- Joe B will add LV inputs for new GEMs in the stack, we will need to make those cables (4 more layers)
- Install BB gas distribution from SBS line -- DSG will do this (completed)
- Further calibrations of SBS gas mix
- Repair/troubleshoot problematic CAEN crates -- DSG working on this
- MPD testing and repair
- Prepare and install pixel layers (long term)
Suggested order of work
- Move layers into front and back tracker (done)
- Upgrade the BB XY layer to SHV (done)
- Fabricate remaining LV cables
- Repair/replace L6 modules, install as last layer in Back Tracker, until EEL layer is ready (work in progress)
- For cosmics, bring bars (HV+signal cables) to table and make a readout trigger. Work with techs to bring out 1 layer at a time?
- For cosmics, move stack to be near RHRS, we can access all gas lines, setup readout, LV etc. (completed)
- Move BB crates to SBS rack (completed)
- Setup scintillators around the stack and run for a longer period. (work in progress)
- Other work, setup gas flow in EEL to chamber. Finish HV upgrade & test. (work in progress)
DAQ updates (Ben, Bryan, Alex)
- Implement and test histogram method
