1) BI for HiRadMat (A. Fabich)
Schedule foresees 7 Slots in 2015 - 75 hours total
- First experiment starting in May 2015
- Improved monitoring expected from Q4
Requirements based on uncertainty
- Varying beam trajectory from the SPS extraction
- Propose BPM for experiment correlation
Additional BPMs requested by
- HRMT 27, HRMT 23, +2 more
- Request for 100um position resolution (alignment done by survey)
Beam type
- Single bunch or batches of 25 or 50ns @ 440GeV
- 1->288 bunches
- Intensity 1E10 to 2E11 protons/bunch
- 0.1->2mm sigma HOR/VER
Requirement
- Monitor to be in air (strip-line coupler only choice - BPKG)
- Measurement of single pulses
- Bunch by bunch acquisition not required
- Single bunch requested
- Beam based alignment could be considered
Infrastructure available
- Cabling from TNC to HRM control room
Timescale
- Request to be available by August 2015
BI Proposal:
- Combine BTV with BPM on same support.
- BTV to be used for beam-based alignment of BPM at low intensity or large emittance (choice of BTV screen material to be decided - carbon?)
- Design common table that can be re-used by all expts may be challenging
- Thibaut to collect following information for presentation in 2 weeks:
- Cost of BPM & BTV
- Cabling and fibres required (available?)
- Design work required - coordinated with Ray & MME
2) LHC BI Status Update
- Hardware installation basically complete for main systems
- SW to be discussed in separate meeting (Enrico, L. Jensen)
- BRAN: several VME power supply failures (probably cumulated since start of LS1)
- Christos to update planning for power supply replacement to be presented at future TB after discussion with L. Søby
- Fan-trays to be replaced by LS2
- Timber logging of SDDS
- Not automatic - L. Jensen to check and report back
- Logging alive? - software tools to check - S. Jackson / JJ. Gras
- BBQ
- GUI SW - Fabio. E. Bravin to check status
- DCCT
- Problem with MTT transmission. Being investigated with P. Odier
- Expert GUI tools being written (M. Ludwig)
- Fast BCT
- System commissioning D. Belohrad, S. B. Pedersen
- BLM
- Rad source measurements in triplets done
- Question about when new firmware with DMA will be available (Christos?)
- BPM
- DOROS - 4 boxes mid March (Marek) - installation to be decided with Jorg
- Abort Gap
- Basic FESA functionality up and running
- Calibration still to be included
- Orbit & Tune feedback
- Need input from S. Jackson - expect new system to be operational very soon
- BRAN
- HW nearly all installed
- FESA servers still to be ported - expect functionality like before LS1
- BSRT
- Imaging all installed
- FESA has been updated following meeting with Federico/Ana et al
- System commissioning to be done
- Wirescanner
- HW installation complete
- WS GUI being updated by Verena & Maria Kuhn - to be tested
Non Critical Items
- BSRT Interferometer - camera still to be installed.
- No software specification - PM expert tools to be used
- BLDM
- New Hybrid APD ordered & new crates being installed.
- No sopftware specifications available - split of devices B1/B2 expected
- Expert GUI to be updated (specifications pending)
- BQHT
- FESA server working & BI/SW Expert GUI available
- Instability triggering requirements to be clarified (T. Levens)
- Operational GUI to be defined once use-case clear
- BMIM
- Installation foreseen for technical stop
- Schottky
- Old systems up and running
- Expert GUI specifications from M. Wendt et al pending (J. Fullerton)
LHC Commissioning & MD Planning
MD Requests received so far:
- BSRT & WCM with bumps
- BPMs & schottky
- BLM sunglasses
- Matching monitors
-
List from Rossano (cold check-out) & Jorg (Commissioning) to be presented by Enrico at future TB or Friday update Meeting
Sector test instrumentation appears to be OK - would be useful to document what should be tested when the final schedule is available (LHC injection, ring, extraction) - Enrico et al.
3) VFC Status
Proposal for short-term
- Produce 31 boards (using all available FPGAs in stock).
- Produce all PCBs & order components
- Mount 2 - deliver & test - then go-ahead for rest
- Request quote from 3 suppliers - A. Boccardi
Full Production (first batch by July 2016)
- Process can be launched already now.
- Meeting with finance next week.
- Number to be finalised, but 500+ - A. Boccardi
- Contract by Jan 2016. July for 1st production.
Development
- Automated test bench to be specified - QP
- FW infrastructure & support - QP
- Contracts
- Can use template from BL - A. Boccardi to contact C. Zamantzas
4) Fast ADC Status
AD9680 chip
- 300->1000MS/s
- 10.8 ENOB (10MHz)
- AC coupled (not what we want!)
- Serial JESD204 transmission
- Received in Nov
RF Distributor Card
- Adapted to allow BCT input to new ADC + feeding old systems
- PCB being assembled
Status of ADC
- Needs external, synchronous low jitter clocks (= sampling clock/4)
- Serial data in 4 lanes. 500MHz -> 4 lanes @ 5GHz
- Can talk to ADC but no serial data received yet
Commercial FMC
- Innovative will ship March according to them (DC coupled)
- Delphi quoting 16 week delivery for QUAD 1GS/s 14bit using AD9680 ADC
- Should check specs & then order one - D. Belohrad
- J. Kral to take over from Daniel
- Update at next meeting - D. Beloharad
There are minutes attached to this event.
Show them.
