- Dave on second package production: first cell was installed, all the elements for the second cell are ready except to populate the wire boards (Chris will do it tomorrow). Cathodes for the third cell also ready, working on the fourth cell cathodes. Third wire plane was strung and wires glued and soldered. The HV caps were replaced on the fourth, but we have problems so far with the dark current there; may require additional change of some capacitors. The fifth wire frame was laminated today. Problems with field wire spools, Dave will discuss it with Steve Christo from Hall B.

- Lubomir: The installation of the first cell was much easier due to the new hubs/pins Bill designed. Flushing with gas since Tuesday, chamber is very tight (bubbles at as low as 15 ccpm). Setting HV on it was also easy. Vladimir tested all the channels with a scope and 55Fe: all working fine. But, we again see a noise at the same place (around HV trace on the fourth +HV sector) we saw on three cells in the first package, this time with higher frequency (~2.5 kHz). Will rotate the top cathode by 30deg after the meeting  to make sure we have the same problem here.

Minutes

Participants: Eugene, Bill, Dave, Chris, Simon, Vladimir, Beni, and Lubomir.

Production

- Dave on second package production: first cell was installed, all the elements for the second cell are ready except to populate the wire boards (Chris will do it tomorrow). Cathodes for the third cell also ready, working on the fourth cell cathodes. Third wire plane was strung and wires glued and soldered. The HV caps were replaced on the fourth, but we have problems so far with the dark current there; may require additional change of some capacitors. The fifth wire frame was laminated today. Problems with field wire spools, Dave will discuss it with Steve Christo from Hall B.

- Lubomir: The installation of the first cell was much easier due to the new hubs/pins Bill designed. Flushing with gas since Tuesday, chamber is very tight (bubbles at as low as 15 ccpm). Setting HV on it was also easy. Vladimir tested all the channels with a scope and 55Fe: all working fine. But again, we see a noise at the same place (around HV trace on the fourth +HV sector) we saw on three cells in the first package, this time with higher frequency (~2.5 kHz). Will rotate the top cathode by 30deg after the meeting to make sure we have the same problem here.

Engineering

- the scheme for the positions of the signal connectors in the package is linked above

- Bill: will look into the cooling system.

Electronics
