The APV25 readout ASIC, developed for the CMS silicon tracker and used in a number of other experiments, has been chosen as the readout technology for the HPS tracking and vertexing system. SLAC is currently commissioning the prototype DAQ for the HPS Test Run, to occur next Spring, using CMS silicon modules. Within the next few several weeks, we will also be prototyping the first silicon modules for HPS and beginning to test exercise them with the rest of the DAQ systemfor the test run. There are a large number of tasks to be undertakenprojects for students, from helping assemble prototype modules in the cleanroom, to debugging the DAQ, to testing HPS prototype modules in order to benchmark and optimize their performance for the test run.

For a an interested student with the right required skills and interests, this project , participation in these projects has the potential to evolve into a participation collaboration in the HPS test run at JLab next SpringTest Run.
