Timepix-BLM XEI/BL meeting

Notes from meeting:

CWDM-VTTx may be delayed.

Will plan to make a Diamond/TPX3-BLM test in mid 2024.

 

Some actions:

  1. Eva: Try to calculate a figure for the maximum expected particle flux, based on the Diamond responses.  How much more do we expect with the Hi-Lumi upgrades? 
  2. Eva: Contact CHARM to enquire about facilities for doing a combined Diamond/TPX3-BLM test.  For the TPX2 we need eight SM fibres and six wires for power, maximum current 1A.  The Front-End crate is a 2U 19” box, it needs to be within 5m of the detector.  Mounting it on the detector stand seems like a good idea.  In the control room we need space for a Front-End Computer, (e.g. Komtron 19” FEC although it’s also possible to use a NUC or a small tower), some lab power supplies and the Back-End box (19”2U).  We will also need a beam warning timing signal, ideally the same signal as the Diamond is using.
  3. James / Christos: see if we could get a Technical Student to assist with the data taking and analysis.
  4. Christos:  Please could you confirm the number of LpGBT, SM-VTRx and SM-VTTx that we have requested for the BI-XEI projects.
  5. Gabriela: As contingency against delays with the SM-VTTx, it would be best if the PCB was laid out with 3x SM-VTRx+ (one for LpGBT slow control, two Tx only directly from Timepix4).  If the PCB has space then two more Timepix4 DataOut signals could be routed to  a SM-VTTx+.
  6. Mark: ask James for BC for 100 off LpGBT and SM-VTRx for section project contingency
