Agenda

Preparation of parts for ECAL -- Sasha

- HV long cable: Sammy and Mindy are finishing up with assembling cables, 2 cables are left
- HV distribution boards [1][2]

- 5 (12 x 4) and 5 (6 x 8) boards have been received. Chris checked connections. All remaining PCB boards are expected to be in the lab on Sep 12.

- Chris is finalizing design of the distribution boxes (each box will comprise 9 PCBs). He expects to submit PR during next week.

- new plates for the LV distribution boards should arrive today. Need to re-install 2 distribution boards and connect cables

Installation of the FCAL2 detector & integration to GlueX -- Sasha / Vlad / Hakob / Laveen

- need to arrange cables on chains

- need to arrange cables on cable trays - done [5]

- preparing spare cables (7 short HV, 8 signal and LV)

- Installing HV distribution boards (start switching the detector ON)

- Installing dark room ceiling and insulation inside the room

- Checking cooling system

ECAL commissioning -- Sasha, All

Minutes

Attendees: Igal, Laveen, Phil, Liping, Vlad, Sasha, Zisis, Stjepan, Ilya, S.T.

Waiting for cover panels for two LV boards
No progress in HV distribution board design
Cables organized on chains and in cable trays
Installed final version of light distribution board for LMS on integrating sphere
- Looked at signals on some PMTS, pulses look good, but amplitudes somewhat small
- Need to increase light 10x
Sasha implemented DAQ configuration for ECAL crates
- Optical links work, need to integrate LMS trigger
- Found faulty controller for ROCECAL3
Dark room installation needs to be completed
Checking of cooling system still needs to be completed before we can turn on the whole detector
PS setup in the hall in the process of being restored (we can use this to study some small-scale prototypes)
Started commissioning run plan
