General

HMS

12 GeV Drift Chambers

  • Bishnu showed some slides
  • It was previously reported that there was many issues with the chambers
  • The chambers were moved to the TED highbay clean room and many issues were identified
  • Chamber 1 was opened, cleaned, and repaired
  • After HV was applied the chamber 1 it was still pulling 30 uA at 1850V with Ar:CO2
  • Chamber 2 was moved into hall-C and now chamber is drawing 110 nA at 2100V with Ar:Ethane
  • Future plans are connect chamber 2 to DAQ in the hall to measure the plateau curve and perform threshold studies
  • The outlook for the chambers is good

SHMS

  • Latif showed some slides
  • The HV issues have been resolved and the GEM is back online
  • The misunderstanding of the latency is now understood
  • They have successfully performed latency scans in a robust manner
  • A standalone trigger with the production 3/4 trigger has been implemented
