Minutes

Attendees: Will (USM); Elton, Beni, Yi, Fernando, Chuck, Tim (JLab), Carl, Drew, Jack McKisson (JLab detector group); Zisis, Andrei, George (UofR); George, Christina (Athens)

  1. Announcements
  2. Review of Action Items
    • JLab will prepare a SiPM array to ship to USM.
    • Elton will contact JLab property vis-a-vis transfer of laser to UofR.
  3. Update - USM
    • Technical progress
    • Small CNC machine procured sometime ago. A second small CNC machine procured and arrived. A large CNC machine ordered.
    • New machines can be used to make prototypes for testing on the Baby Bcal.
    • More space obtained, which will be used for measuring SiPM response
    • Most all components have arrived to complete the SiPM testing board
    • Awaiting some parts for dark box. Cu cooling plate not yet arrived, and this one requires considerable machining of slots for SiPM connections
  4. USM Contract
    • Schedule for contract. See Timeline.
    • Elton described the schedule. The precise time constraints related to putting a contract into place with USM are getting tight. We need to move forward agressively to make this happen.
    • Will reviewed four items discussed for SOW: SiPM testing, light guide fabrication, producing and/or testing electronic boards, testing disc boards. The first two items are much better defined. It was suggested that the last two items might have considerable work done at or near JLab.
    • In order to converge, Elton suggested to include only the first two items in the contract.
    • Will to produced a SOW based on the first two items
    • Elton to produce a schedule for the project. Both documents should be iterated on a short time scale.
    • Zisis: Need to summarize this information in a location that is accessible to everyone.
  5. Light guides
    • Tim asked whether USM would produce suffient "first-article" light guides for a complete Bcal wedge. This needs to be discussed further in relation to the USM contract.
    • Chuck has produced drawings of the 20 types of trapezoidal guides. Elton will put these on the portal for reference.
  6. SiPM update
    • Communications with Hamamatsu (Carl)
    • Preparations for test at Regina (George)
  7. Electronics/cooling (Fernando)
  8. Geometry and light guides
  9. Monitoring system
  10. Simulation runs
