2021-10-12 Detector Planning Meeting notes

• ePixHR installed at RIXS yesterday.  Fiber tranceiver issues being worked(?)

• 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:  beamline test completed.
    • 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 not yet received.
    • 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:  Acceptance tests show vibe spec met (long settling time).  Working on test report, and review with NEH2.2.
  • HiZ collaboration tests: Ge and CZT modules have been tested in lab, LCLS beam times secured, Boo working bracket fab.
  • 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?
  • 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:

LDAC preps dominate.  Website is up, populated with all talks received so far, release tonight.

Cal team meeting needs reschedule.

BA1.0 funding set but haven't yet seen it.  Turbo order approved.

Need data reduction for RIXS-CCD LDAC

Need cal talk slide deck for release (mature draft, changes still OK).

KN:

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

PH:

• HR beamtime lessons learned on Friday
• HR test overall quite successful
• Working on input for LDAC talks
• UXI IH put in for Run20....could let us offer UXI for user experiments??

CH:

• Christmas tree setup for Ge
• Flex cable may be too short....will check today.
• HR camera back to TID.
• Boards being modified for HV CZT
• NYC 10/14-20.

#RA:

• 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.

Coordinate/update lab schedule.
