GMn GEM commissioning Meetings: WEDNESDAY 10:30am - 11:30am

Link to all previous meetings: GMn GEM Commissioning Meeting

Please use sbs_gems mailing list for plots/communications and HALOG entries relevant to GEMs!


Progress from this past week

  • DSG beginning the movement of the BB gas flowmeters to the SBS line.
  • Front tracker is now fully assembled[1].
  • First 6 layers (L8-L13) haven been installed into back tracker
  • M0 and M2 have been replaced in L14 (SBS L6)[2][3].
    • Currently waiting for an 1G ohm resister before we can install it into back tracker.
    • We have taken the HV patch for testing the new GEM modules in testlab[4][5]. We will bring it back to the hall when we have the resisters.
  • The BB crates have been moved over to SBS rack. We will start planning on how to connect the MPDs.

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
  • 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
