- Announcements
- Action Items
- Schedule, reporting, and manpower (Elton)
- First two production sets of light guides delivered last week
- USM has shipped another batch of tested SiPMs to JLab
- Fernando, Chris and Nick have successfully assembled and tested BCAL-01 upstream and downstream modules on the bench
- mini-Bcal (Elton)
- Testing of BCAL-01 readout boards on mini-Bcal
- Ringing (viewed on scope) ~ 2mV peak-to-peak relative to 550 mV input LED signal ~ 0.4%. This is compared to old BCAL-00 module of ~ 20 mV/600mV ~ 3.3%, a reduction of x8.
- Ringing (amplitude) ~ 5.5counts/3012 counts ~ 0.2%
- Ringing (sum) ~ 19 counts/39780 counts ~ 0.05%, Ringing (sum RMS) ~ 136/39780 ~ 0.3%
- These numbers are consistent with a 1:400 dynamic range.
- Still want to digest the information and estimate the number of pixels firing.
- SiPM testing (cross talk and after pulsing) (Ivan and Yi)
- Data have been analyzed that study the dependence of cross talk and afterpulsing as a function of the gate width and input light levels.
- The two components are roughly equal in size and depend quadratically on the over bias. At Vover=1.2, they are 15-20%.
- Note that the afterpulsing does not affect the linearity as it does not fire any additional pixels.
- Mechanical assembly (Jim)
- All metal parts need to be ordered. There are milled parts and water jet-cut pieces. The drawing set will be checked when Chuck and James return next Monday. They should be finalized and readied for procurement.
- Temperature compensation (Jack)
- Work with Shaun to write up a procedure for substituting a sensor on one of the boards to be assembled.
- Develop an automatic procedure for producing the jumper sheets.
- Electronic boards (Fernando and Chris)
- Plan to increase the Cu weight on the board
- When can we start ordering the production systems? Elton: Would like to digest the test information before making a final decision, but should be soon. We should be ready with orders in case there are available funds.
- During assembly of the readout modules they found 6 U-boards with defects (out of 80). A total of 2500 have now been tested and only 30 failures found. These will be returned under their warranty.
- Light guide gluing setup (Scot)
- Parts have been received for the light guide wand. He will assemble them tomorrow. A washer need to be returned for the correct size.
