Intro & Objectives

• Federico Roncarolo (CERN)

Room: 774/1-079 - Clarify meeting goals: feasibility of SAMBUCA vs. MCOX and next steps

BI Systems Overview

• Federico Roncarolo (CERN)
• Stephane Burger (CERN)
• David Belohrad (CERN)

Room: 774/1-079 Based on Recap of BI-PM internal discussion (Aug 28 notes) - Class of instruments equipped with motors - Present installations & migration needs - New systems required for LS3 (quantities) - Identification of systems difficult to maintain outside BI (e.g. HIR DBs)

Current BI Controllers

• Stephane Burger (CERN)
• David Belohrad (CERN)

Room: 774/1-079 (also from Aug 28 notes) - Legacy VME systems - MCOI with GEFE - MCOX SoM based

MCOX (BI) – Status and Perspectives

• David Belohrad (CERN)

Room: 774/1-079 - Prototype status and pending Gateware porting from VFC to SoM (~3 months FTE ?) - Expected cost per channel - Applicability beyond BI (potential inclusion in CEM portfolio) - Risks: long-term Phytron procurement, production/maintenance burden

SAMBUCA (CEM) – Status and Perspectives

• Mario Di Castro (CERN)
• Enrico Bravin (CERN)

Room: 774/1-079 - Prototype status (phase 2, collimators) - final LS3 production roadmap - schedule - Expected performance for BI use cases (low-power motors, cabling, form factor) - Software/firmware support and maintenance responsibilities - Expected cost per channel - Availability for BI testing

Comparative Review, wrap-up & Discussion - ALL

• Federico Roncarolo (CERN)
• Stephane Burger (CERN)
• Mario Di Castro (CERN)
• David Belohrad (CERN)
• Daniele Butti

Room: 774/1-079 **(Aim at preparing bullet points for discussion - BI-PM team)** - Cost, performance, and integration trade-offs - SAMBUCA integration to existing systems - BSR and AWAKE existing + upgrades - options - keep AWAKE legacy , recuperating electronics form HRM, BGC, LAbo which will be moved to new system - Operational responsibilities (design, production, exploitation, maintenance) - Standardisation vs. diversification of solutions **Future Ownership & Collaboration Options** - Scenario: CEM taking over responsibility for MCOX - Scenario: CEM contributing to MCOX design completion while BI retains ownership - Pros/cons for BI and CEM in both cases (resources, know-how, long-term support)
