Meeting time and location=
- 9:30 am EST (JLab time) remote only
- Zoom meeting ID: 161 050 9142 Passcode: 004965
Agenda
- Preparation for mass production of FCAL2 modules -- Sasha
- Getting summer students involved in the project. Vaccinated students will be permitted to the lab according to the communication with Brian Hanlon (still to be checked). Not a problem to get 5 - 6 students involved (List of possible tasks).
- Chris continues brazing brass straps. The quality has been improved. We have many brass assemblies now.
- DSG:
- About 700 ESR foils (SICCAS) have been preshaped. Start preshaping foils for CRYTUR crystals (after 900 foils for SICCAS are produced). Need new cutting template.
- Crystal wrapping is very slow, only about 15 crystals have been wrapped during this week.
- Production of Silicon cookies at the GWU [1]. See Olga's report. Contract with the GWU is under preparation.
- Igal: continues wrapping ESR for crystals and Tedlar
- Procurement of spare PMTs and sockets: no price increase [2]. Submitted PR for 100 PMTs and 200 sockets; not clear when it will be signed.
- Module fabrication -- Sasha
- Cable distribution of the FCAL insert -- Sasha
- Connection of LV cables to the PMT base [3][4][5]
- Draft of the cable distribution in the FCAL dark room (meeting with Fernando and Tim)
- Submitted PR for procurement of LEMO (signal) connectors (Chris and Fernando)
- Light Monitoring System -- Arshak
- COMCAL tests, TAC running, etc. -- Sasha
- Data analysis
- Simulations
