  1. Review schedule and list of "deliverables"
    • Enclose 3D model
    • Light guide grating
    • SiPM mount
    • cooling plate
    • preamp/summing board
    • ADDED: Electronic heat removal (possibly heat plate)
    • temp feedback/ bias board
    • light covers
    • cable supports/layout
    • cooling tubes support/layout
    • mechanical support
  2. First article testing (Carl)
    • Reviewed list of tests to be conducted for first article
    • Estimated time is 1.5 to 2 hours per unit (i.e. 120 - 160 hours of testing for 80 units). Note that nominal schedule has 1 month for accepting first article.
    • Yi: Automation using labview interfaces may help speed up testing.
    • Will continue discussion at meeting next week
  3. Mechanical cooling (Jim)
    1. Issue with current plate and 4 mm tubing requires 80 psi with 4% pressure drop to equilize temperature.
    2. New concept with 3/8" od tubing uses 10 psi (nominal chiller output) with 0.1 psi pressure drop.
      • New concept replaces SiPM mounting plate with PC board and SiPM pin connection via traces to a connector that mates with pre-amp/summing board.
      • Fernando: Several issues with this new idea:
        • Primarcy concern: increased inductance of leads due to routing through board connector
        • SiPMs are soldered onto PC board, which makes replacing arrays difficult
        • Can do some tests to check impact of these changes on performance, but they are likely to be large
  4. Temperature compensation (Jack)
    • Difficulty with design for continuous operation between 5 and 25 deg. Likely two settings will be required, one at 5 deg and one at 20 deg.
    • Carl: DeltaG/DeltaT is constant with temperature, so gradients are expected to be the same for the two settings.
    • Discussion of various design options. Current ideas lead to about 65 mW/channel or about 1 mA/ device at 70 V. Precision resistor consumes 45 mW. Off the self items are equivalent to 100 KOhms for $2/resistor. At 1 MOhm sell for $20/channel, reducing power consunmption.
    • Fernando to share previous design ideas with Jack for reference
