10 minBeamtime support update
  • Power instability in experimental halls being addressed, may be outages there for several days.
30 minPriorities ReviewAll
  • 2021 events:
    • Projects new starts:
      • ePixM project plan submitted, baselined in P6.
      • SparkPix-S Phase II (full-size ASIC for sparsification engine), on-track
      • ePixHR V:  Prototype detector project underway, TID reminded, still waiting on detector, working DAQ issues..
      • TXI Detectors (2Mp and 140kp based on ePixHR @5kHz) Wafer purchase order placed, delay to delivery of about 3 months, other things likely to slip as well.
      • ePixUHR (130nm TSV structure to reach 100kHz), CDR completed, PEC approved start, project underway.
    • Production:
      • spare modules (0.5 & 1mm) Module order in work, new sensor order delayed.  No-ghost modules delayed to October.
      • Approved 3d copy of ePix10k2m: underway, November delivery (may slip due to module delay)
      • Approved spare quads for MEC:  underway, August delivery(?)....will slip, working on updated delivery date.
      • Proposed in-air 2m/1mm project plan submitted to OIP.
      • Proposed UED detector upgrade, planning in work.
      • Proposed ePix10k4m (concept)
    • RIXS-CCD/cooler test and verification:  Shipment imminent.  Test at STA showed ~60nm stability. Readiness?
    • HiZ collaboration tests: Ge and CZT modules wirebonded, CZT no stick, SSRL & LCLS beam times secured, Boo working bracket design.
    • Outreach for R&D support (SparkPix-ED, SparkPix Delta).
    • SBIR effort for UXI not funded.


  • Group priorities review:
    • Testing
      • Run 'standard' cal on two 10k smalls with new firmware, log tracker.
      • CompEnOn study during CXI checkout time?  111, 1a vs 19?
      • Any ePix100 detectors in ASC?  Can we figure out what's wrong with ePix100/7?
      • RIXS-CCD cooler test planning. 
    • Analysis
      • Gather and process relevant commissioning data for Mp travellers on Confluence.
          • Solid pedestals
          • Noise map
          • Response uniformity (mini-X cu-fluorescence)
          • Bootstrap gain (sealed source)
          • Linearity (signal injection)
    • Documentation
      • Complete on-line travellers for Mp detectors

    • Development

    • Lab 'commissioning'
      • DAQ
        • Storage nodes  configured, put in use?
        • LCLS I/II compatibility?
      • Chase racks anchored....cables, water status?
      • Vac chamber for in-lab tests?  Compatible with XPP alcove?


Actions:


30 minStatus

Will schedule performance discussions for next week.

Cal team topics for friday?  Angelo is going to be unavailable on Fridays for several months....will try to move to another day.

LDAC Panel assembled, agenda mostly settled, working on the panel charge this week.

Year-end spending needs??  Running out of time.


KN:

  • No timing in ASC...probably due to power issues in NEH.
  • Rayonix shipped.
  • Hunting for ePix small vac hardware....some parts missing.

PH:

  • ePix10k switching issues.....noise much higher in FoLo.
  • Working w/B to improve pedestals, sharing data with Gabriel.
  • UXI IH put in for Run20....could let us offer UXI for user experiments??

CH:

  • Got ePix assembly bracket...can try to run zombie masking ASICs looking for configurable mode.
  • CZT guy is back from vacation....will try to have him fix contact.
  • No word from Stephen Boo...need update.
  • Starting linearity characterization using MFX data.

RA:

  • Prepare for mid-july RIXS-CCD
  • Lost Derek, may need May Ling to help training on laser vibrometer
  • Need mtg for acceptance test planning (Friday)

BN:

  • Looking at FoLo data, still tryng to parse/understand
  • Went through fluorescence process.
  • Min/max stitching.
  • Run cal on new ePix firmware.
  • Grafana setup to alert Slack channel.
  • Made updates to detector website, in work.
  • Working with PH on porting PyRoot to Python.

CK:

  • Setting up vac components for RIXS-CCD.
  • Trying to get cables complete for CSPD/CXI
  • Trying to move water/power effort in chase.
