Minutes
Attendees:Jack, Carl, Tim, Chuck, Jim, Eugene, John, Elton
- Announcements
- Schedule, reporting, and manpower (Elton)
- First article testing (Carl and Yi)
- Test for first article is ready
- Elton checked with Hamamatsu and they confirm shipping next week
- Carl showed slides and went over a proposed list of tests for the first article
- take dark spectra + 4 runs with different intensities of a calibrated light source
- Jack: consider obtaining some tools to help remove/install SiPM chips and a static dissipative mat.
- Elton: asked about checking at least one in a high field. Eugene: one could coordinate with the next solenoid coil test
- Mechanical cooling (Jim)
- Discussion at end of session. Need estimate of total number of external cables and connections.
- Signal cables: 12 fadc cables and 8 disc (both coax). Estimates for low voltage (max 4) and bias (max 4)
- Review status of drawings for prototype (Chuck)
- Temperature compensation (Jack)
- Presented the bias compensation scheme with much discussion
- Appropriate compensation can be obtained using nominal resister values for components
- Elton: Need to assess how many variety of boards are needed to achieve desired bias compensation
- Preamp-summing (Fernando)
- Discussion
