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
