Agenda and Minutes¶

0. Actions¶

• Create MICE note of channel mappings end-to-end through hardware, electronics and software. DA, ES, AD, GB
• Dig up the old documentation for the electronics channel mapping - DA
• Ask KL, AB, DA about whether it would be helpful to fit LED into TOF to help our timing. EO
• Hits to digits lookup. CH
• AD to ask AN if working just outside 300 Gauss line would be enough? - AD Not sufficient

1. Tracker lab - AB, GB, CMacW¶

• Electronics operations shifted to Fermilab while DA is there
• CMacW wants to use lab to store tracker equipment currently spread around RAL

2. LED: EO¶

• Make PCB for main flasher unit buffer - EO Schematics done, see attachments
• Finish main flasher unit - EO, CMacW
• Ask KL, AB, DA about whether it would be helpful to fit LED into TOF to help our timing. EO
  • EO talked to Maurizio, Maurizio concerned about extra light levels, EO will produce a document for him.

3. Installation¶

• Finish installation manual - GB
• Construct safety procedures for performing installing while AFC also operating - AN, AD - See notes T1_Installation_Meeting_2013-11-19. AD is Tracker Nominated Person (TNP), able to delegate day-to-day to AN or CMacW. Method statement for the work by AN at http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/attachments/1764/MICETrackerInstallationMS.docx .

• Perform metrology on solenoid bore to check clearances, GB talk to John Palin - GB
• Construct dark room tent in R9 - GB, KLs

4. DAQ/Calibration/Controls: DA, EO¶

4.1 MiniDAQ¶

• MiniDAQ (separate from DATE) now done and tested on set up in tracker lab - DA
• Needs to be committed to the DAQ repository
• Still needs a full integration test with main MICE DAQ

4.2 Channel Mappings¶

• Check our channel mapping from end to end and make sure correct - DA, AD, ES
• Dig up the old documentation for the electronics channel mapping - DA See http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/documents/75 by M. Ellis, derived from D0 note not yet found
• M. Ellis (via P. Kyberd) says it was definitely correct in 2009 in G4MICE - so, was it correctly translated into MAUS? - ES

4.3 Controls¶

• Create controls system - DA, MR

5. Services in the MICE hall: CMacW¶

6. Mitigation of effect of magnetic field: CMacW, MG¶

• Need to consider how we will route the waveguides through the yoke (non-trivial) - CMacW

Step IV Readiness - MU¶

• See TrackerCosiderations25_11_13.pdf

7. Software: AD, ES, CH, ST¶

• Milestones - AD See Software Schedule.
• MC Noise - CH Update_on_Noise_and_Lookup.pdf
  • Look at large cpu load
  • Discuss with DA
  • Code review
• Hits to digits lookup - CH Update_on_Noise_and_Lookup.pdf
  • Get MAUS Long processor working (raise MICE mine issue)
  • Email C. Hunt and start using it for spacepoint efficiency study
  • Code review

8. Conferences: DA, AB, KL¶

• CHEP (AD) - Paper submitted

9. AoB and summary of actions.¶

• Next phone meeting 16:00 GMT, 2nd Dec 13
