Minutes

General

  • Brad would like to add a few items to the wish list
    • We need spare VXS crate
    • Intel single board computers
  • Simona has coincidence modules in the hall that she required for her cosmic test stand setup
    • These were taken from the Hall-C counting house

Trigger/DAQ

  • GEM crate integration is now an issue see logbook entry:
    • Most likely a TIpcie issue which has been observed in the past
  • New fiber optic pull for the HMS has been done
    • FE group is working on completing this
    • Latencies will change since there is one less path for the SHMS
    • Once everything is integrated new latencies in the CRLs will need to be set
  • Eric and Carlos will begin conducting work on the production trigger
    • If folks require the DAQ please contact Eric so that he can ensure the DAQ is in a stable state
  • Steve reported that he is working on the TI Scalers & proper gating of regular scalers

    • He will take the HMS DAQ for a while
    • Log book entry will follow to alert folks

HMS

12 GeV Drift Chambers

  • A voltage scan of one chambers has been conducted
    • A few issues have been identified
  • Some of the efficiencies of the planes appear to be lower than expected
    • This is a work in progress
    • A hot wire has been located
  • DC1 is nearly complete
  • DC2 will be tested immediately thereafter
  • The cabeling for all channels is ready
  • The aim is too have DC2 wrapped up by the end of the month
  • They have to mounted in ESB and fiducialized and then moved to hall

SHMS

GEM

  • Latif showed some slides
  • There exists a git repo for development
  • Readme contains instructions of how to incorporate the GEM analyzer into the hall analyzer
  • The class is THcGEM which is traded in a similar fashion to the other detector classes
  • The GEM data has been shown to exist in the Tree along with other detector associated variables
  • The mapping still needs to be corrected
  • The data that was shown is the data that was taken during latency scans a few weeks ago
  • There is a clear plan moving forward

Drift Chambers

  • The chamber seems to be gas tight
  • Brad is working with Chuck L. to verify that the chamber can hold HV while filled with nitrogen
  • If functional it will be moved to the ESB for further testing

Hodoscopes

  • The PMTs have been removed from 17 bars
  • 13 bars have been cleaned and are ready to be coupled to PMT’s
  • The cookies were in fact thicker than they should have been
  • Some of the PMTs are being delivered to Carl Z. For QE testing
  • Some cookies were 500 um while some were < 200 um
  • There exists a correlation between thick cookies and the XP PMT’s as opposed to the ET’s
  • The new cookie fabrication is proceeding nicely
    • Sometimes they sheer during fabrication although
    • A solution is being worked out
  • The new tubes should be shipped from the UK on Aug. 17
    • This is okay due to the accelerator delay
  • Mid September is the nominal goal to have the plane assembled and being tested in the cosmic test stand
