• 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
• 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
