Preparation for June Data Taking: Hardware, Software, and Mechanical Developments

The ongoing preparation for the June data taking with 7 modules is in full swing. Hardware updates include the ordering of detectors, with 2 out of 9 ready for production by the end of week 4 and testing planned by week 6. The Front-End Controller (FEC) is slated for order from a new company, significantly lowering costs. Software improvements were recently made in collaboration with various teams to enhance the Micromegas standalone program. Mechanical studies focus on new materials' properties to optimize structure for minimal deformation. Work resumes at DESY next week.

  1. News from Saclay D. Attié, P. Colas, W. Wang

  2. Preparation for the June data takingwith 7 modules : hardware • Detectors ordered and ready for production. 2 out of 9 by end of week 4, to betestedbefore end of week 6, the rest by end of February • FEC ready to orderat a new company, thanks to Rui de Oliveira (the previouscompany, who made the prototypes, multipliedcost by 4.7) • All the remaining hardware ready or almost. • PC in DESY nextweek for cosmic trigger maintenance/upgrade and bring back material for testing new modules

  3. Preparation for the June data takingwith 7 modules : software • Reminder: in Decemberwehad a software weekwith Carleton people (Madhu Dixit, NicholiShiel, Peter Hayman), indiansfromKolkata, and Gilles de Lentdecker from Bruxelles, to check/improve the Micromegasstandalone program and startimplementation in Marlin TPC • This weekagainwith Keisuke Fujii, Peter Hayman and Gilles de Lentdecker, wemanaged to run the standard reconstruction on Micromegas data (Kalmannfilterincluded). Nownextstepis to adapt to resistive foil.

  4. Mechanics • Activitywithin AIDA: • Study of new materials (Al/kevlar hybrid for instance): measurement of mechanicalproperties on samples • Calculationswiththese, and optimization of the structure (number of rows, beamlet size, etc…) for minimal deformationunderweight and pressure. • Starting of the workat DESY nextweek (P. Manil with Volker and Robert)
