30 minPriorities ReviewAll
  • 2021-2 events:
    • Projects new starts:
      • ePixM project plan submitted, baselined in P6.  Mech design review held Jan 24 (actions circulated). Received sensor wafers from L-Foundry, dicing.
      • SparkPix-S Phase II (full-size ASIC for sparsification engine), on-track.  Budget request for MBES application.
      • ePixHR V:  beamline test completed, data analysis slow.
      • 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 ePix10k modules (0.5 & 1mm) First batch of no-ghost received, now packaging and wirebonding.
      • Approved 3d copy of ePix10k2m: underway, March delivery (slipped due to module delay, PCB issues)
      • Approved spare quads for MEC: delivered, in test.
      • 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:  Available for PCDS testing.  Working on test report, and review with NEH2.2.
    • HiZ collaboration tests: Datananalysis in work (plan?).  Follow-on proposal needed.
    • Outreach for R&D support (SparkPix-ED, SparkPix Delta).
    • SBIR effort for UXI not funded.


  • Group priorities review:
    • Testing
      • Develop workable version of 'standard' cal script, test on 10k small, Bhavna:  Possible to demonstrate by week of Feb 14?
      • Air-scatter CompEnOn study to refine timing...Philip/Bhavna, possible to complete analysis by week of 2/14?.
      • Acceptance test new quads Bhavna, possible to complete basic cal (pedestals, charge-injection) floe by week of 2/14?
    • Documentation
      • Complete on-line travellers for Mp detectors

    • Development
      • Hi-Z test data analysis (Conny, is there a reasonable target for week of 2/14?
      • Testing ePixHR in our lab:  Conny, is it possible/worthwhile/important enough to try to get it running in our lab by week of 2/14??
    • Lab 'commissioning'
      • DAQ
        • Get water and power completed in mech chase (reasonable milestone by 2/14?)
      • Marietta interlocks for Kimball. Need to check with Jenna
      • Marietta fixturing for calibration of epix, JF smalls
      • Vac chamber for in-lab tests?  Compatible with XPP alcove?  Chris/az/Philip/Cony confer and select config by 2/14??


Actions:


30 minStatus

No update on dept head recruiting.  Taking vacation time on Fridays.

Thanks for help in lab cleanup.  Better, need more work and mach room completion.  RA boxes?? 

Complete tests on RIXS-CCD this week and store safely - fit check looks OK, need more cables...asked Gerogi for PA code.

Chiller issues in UED not reproducible in lab.....compare pressure readings?

Opportunity to focus on lagging priorities:  Marietta/Kimball, water/power, RIXS-CCD data analysis/reporting, beamtime data analysis, vac test chamber?

Status on water/power??

Topics for Cal team meeting?  Bojan to join going forward.



KN:

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

PH:

  • Getting ready for UXI test...no GaAs available unfortunately

#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.
