    1. Update to readout board (Fernando)
      • PCBs on mini-Bcal not optimized.
      • Extra board has been assembled and tested
      • No ringing noticed on the bench
      • Networks optimized to decrease susceptibility to noise on ground and bias lines
      • Pattern of ringing from on board is most pronounced on the left side of the board where there is less grounding due to space constraints on the board
      • presently have 1 oz Cu traces (top) and 0.5 oz traces inner layers. Next version will double the thickness
      • Andrei: Asked if one could shield the input to the pre-amplifiers. Fernando: not too much to gain here
      • Proposal: Install new board on the mini-Bcal to test changes.
      • Discussion whether the TDC output should be reduced from x10 to x5. No strong arguments. Will change to x5, which will implement and test proposed changes that can be made at this time.
      • The new board will be exchanged for the downstream side on Thursday. This will give us a chance to check the thermal connection between the pipe and the cooling plate.
  4. Update from USM
    1. USM Web Interface to DB
    2. File:USMUpdate20120417.pdf (Javiera)
      • 200 tested in stage 2, 640 completed in stage 3.
      • Checking data to validate measurements. First shipment will be sent once analysis is verified.
    3. Orlando
      • Showed updated plots from last week but with 640 sensors
      • Dark rate plotted is ratio of non-pedestal count/pedestal count~0.02/cell. Gate used is 120 ns -> 0.17MHz/cell*16cells=2.7 MHz/ array at 20 deg C.
      • Note that Hamamatsu data gives ~20 MHz / array at 25 deg C.
      • Suggestion for next time is to plot the dark rate under the same conditions as Hamamatsu for ease of comparison.
      • Slide 13 shows the measured number of photoelectrons as a function of position on the box for 3 different temperatures gives consistent results
      • Note that three positions are not working correctly (#16, #28 and #29).
    4. Elton asked about the total number of failures to date.
      • 2 MPPCs arrived from Hamamatsu with damaged pins, but these have been fixed
      • 1 MPPC found with scratches on the active area
      • 1 MPPC with strange behavior (under investigation).
    5. Light guide status?
      • Iñaki will send an update
