Management

Still no news from Poland. Alternative solutions have to be examined in case the situation does not evolve soon.

 

SoW/ICD

Need to have thermal input from CSU, to understand if station can provide cooling. CSU will be contacted to have a meeting about thermal.

 

Modules

Thermal test at Biotech suspended, as some failure happeded in the FEE. See presentation. HV decoupling condensator has to be examined.

Also, we have to check it overheating can happen with the heaters.

Thermal simulations are ongoing, but it is getting important to have input from CSU.

Two spectrometer modules could be tested in space next year, Xin is checking with SSO.

 

The first sockets should arrive by the end of the month.

Coralie has started wrapping again last week. 3 wrapping jigs have been produced, so in principle other people can now wrap bars, using the laminar flux station in lab 202.

 

FEE

Vishal is testing Zynq DAQ. He is working on a program which will easily manage the xml configuration files. It is now important to do tests at CERN.

 

BEE/PHU

Documentation still has to be finlaized. Should be done during the week. Dominik will be at CERN from 27th, so we can have in person discussions.

 

Next meeting
