(Very) slowly restarting the tracker+calorimeter setup in the GDD lab.
Goals:
- preparing a stable setup as close as possible to the test beam one (except for gas mixture)
- get a good tracking performance with the TMMs with cosmics (possibly adding one or two tracking GEMs)
Status:
- the present setup reads out 5 pad chambers and 2 TMMs (2 FECs with respectively 15 and 12 APVs);
- tested the APVs in the setup one by one with Labview tools: 24 out of 27 are working;
- tested 8 additional APVs borrowed from Michele, all working (+ one spare slave not working);
- I still haven't gotten to a stable running configuration with mmDAQ, so I will reduce to a minimal working configuration (smallest working number of APVs) and work from there.
