866/2-D05 (CERN)

• Last meeting was on 09/05/2025
• Kind reminder: Tobias, new Tech (ORIGIN) in the BP corridor - do not forget that, although he's sitting upstairs, he's supposed to work 50% for BP and 50% for IQ
• Arrivals
  • Emily joined the IQ corridor - welcome
  • New electronics Eng (LD) arriving 1st July -> 866/R-D06
  • 2x DOCTs, working with Robert, joining ~Oct/Nov
  • Shared (BE-CEM/SY-BI) fellow, Maria, working with Tom ~Q3/Q4 -> ?
  • Summer student working with Collette - start 30th June
• FCC-week (19-23 May, Vienna) -> impressions from the workshop?
  • Kacper
  • Andreas
    • big workshop + study gaining momentum (civil engineering much advanced)
    • Machine-wise, major progress still pending on decision on optics
    • Bunch spacing still not decided
  • Emily
    • Committee for optics comparison in Dec to make a decision
  • Robert
• IPAC’2025 (1-6 June, Taipei, Taiwan) -> impressions from the workshop?
  • Kacper
• Budget codes
  • 64565 (BI ELENA OPERATION) is now managed by IQ
  • 64206 (BCM prototype for TELMAX in AD complex - small dpt project)
    • Now visible in CET

• Meetings with RF to discuss responsibility split
  • Updates (Tom):
    • RF requested that FE electronics to be supported by BI
    • RF PUs critical for operations - RF should maintain spares, even if supplied by BI
    • BI to be responsible for the physical (mostly vacuum devices) + FE electronics
    • Still pending a meeting specifically for AD complex
      • We need to decide whether we take responsibility for the LPUs
        • At the moment we're already responsible for the DAQ (TRIC for now)
  • Follow-up on shared fellow
    
    • No funding was granted at the DPT level
    • Request to be submitted for appreciation at the DPT level (probably next year)
• DPP - off-line processing infrastructure (OAF-like)
  • Being developed by CSS
  • By Oct we should provide a list of people and use-cases for testing DPP [ACTION: ALL]
• AI (+ ML)
  • what are our needs in terms of tools? [ACTION: ALL]
    • E.g. generic assistants, software assistants, etc
  • how can AI change the way we work today? [ACTION: ALL]
    • Electronics design? Verification?
    • Software?
    • Signal processing?
    • Physics?
    • Fault prediction
• Round table?
• AOB
