Minutes
Participants: Eugene, Fernando, Chris, Simon, Beni, Glenn, Gerard (on the phone), and Lubomir. Bill, David, and Casey were busy at 126 laminating the first wire frame.
Production
- There was a meeting between JLab people and AdvanceTEC that will build the clean room. Completion date: January 7th. AdvanceTEC had two concerns: the power coming to building (from Dominion Power) is close to the expected use and has to be checked. The second is related to the quality of the floor, not good enough for 10K clean room. AdvanceTEC will send a quote to re-seal the floor.
- Bill, David and a machinist from our machine shop visited "Vision machining". The frame production has started. About half of the spacer rings are ready. Two of the wire frames are here at JLab, being laminated in the moment with the Rohacell rings in 126. Five Rohacell rings were made by Casey and David. Tomorrow morning David with techs will be at Blue Crab to turn up two granite tables. The idea is to start using them for the lamination because of the limited space in 126.
Electronics
- Gerard will use the pulses generated from Garfield to study the timing of the fADC125 and will try different interpolation algorithms. He's working now on the firmware.
- Chris: all 28x4 boards were shipped to the company for stuffing and will have 2x4 (two of each type) ready within a week.
- Fernando will finalize the rigid-flex design (Roger is busy the next several weeks) and then submit it to the procurement. In a week (Oct. 14) we must here from the procurement about the cathode foils.
