...

  • Monthly status progress report on tasks on WBS 1.1.6
  • Keep temporary eTraveler updated: 1.1.6 Traveler
  • Work with Mike Kelsey, SLAC, to move all parts into official database traveler.
  • Follow up and receive back preproduction tower PCB's that are being screened right now
  • Send horizontal and vertical flex cables for nondestructive screening
  • Coordinate with background group on what is left to be screened and what the plan is for assembled parts.

 

 


Electronic design

  • Design development, schematic and layout for very custom PCB taylored for tower testing  in close collaboration with Richard, etc. Expect there will be 2 or 3 PCBs in the next 6 months. (March to September 2018)
  • Work closely with the mechanical engineers for interfaces
  • Need to support and work closely with the layout group, and in cases w/o their help, in cases were specific fab is needed for radiopure experiments like this
  • Working closely with vendor to produce superconducting flex cables

...

Electronics general support

  • Design development, schematic and layout for PCBs taylored for tower testing in close collaboration with SuperCDMS collaborators
  • PCB schematic and layout for testing on both normal tools (dxDesigner, PADS, GC-Prevue/CAD) and express PCB.
  • Coordinate testing of tower wiring and electronics PCBs and flexible PCBs: writing testing instructions, documentation,
  • Specific support: analog pre-amp design/fab, rf filter procurements, evaluation and testing
    • Support testing of analog electronics in the clean room: using spectrum analyzer to measure noise perf., design, use simple custom pre-amps, characterize RF filter performance, help with noise models, etc.
  • Completed? Where is info/files? Noise Help support noise calculation: both spice simulation and manual calculation of transistor level noise models
  • First tower integration: help design and testing of mechanical support structure for PCB integration on tower(this is done with Marco and other mech. eng.)

  • Coordinate and oversee testing of transistor testing at Caltech and the subsequent loading of transistors with vendors to mezzanine boards for use in the experiment

L3 manager for Readout Cables for SuperCDMS

  • Budget and schedule responsibility and weekly reports to CAM (B. Hines, Denver) Here is P6 pdf
  • Coordinate assembly and testing of more test cables (we have the hardware) with electrical shop and CDMS folks.
  • Coordinate assembly and testing of first long readout cables (the full design and procurement of PCBs and other hardware might be done before P leaves).
  • for which part? coordinate with L2 manager and Fermilab engineers
  • Coordinate interfaces and adjust designs based on interactions with other subgroups in the project: cryogenics, readout electronics and tower.
  • Help with overall Completed? Where is info, files? Overall electrical design; transmission line simulation
  • Responsible for eTraveler and radiopurity control
  • Completed? Coordinate with Fermilab engineers on mechanical design, integration and SNOLAB assembly (holding regular meetings)
  • Fabrication/Vendor contact; procurement of all aspect contacts for hardware procurement of the cables ( wire, PCBs , assembly); this includes lots of interaction and planning with vendors, Lupe, etc.

 

 

Outstanding tasks

...

  • with Richard and Paul Brink, SLAC, on readout cable needs and plans for the test facility at SLAC
  • with Matt Hollister, FNAL (L2 manager for cryogenics), and Marco Oriuonno on any outstanding interface questions
  • with background group on what is left to be screened and what the plan is for assembled parts regarding readout cables
  • with Wolfgang Rau, Queens, and Richard regarding CUTE test facility needs
    • We have existing readout cable in storage that is handled with care for radiopurity for them
    • We have Cirlex boards for the tower side being planned for them

FY19 best guess:

  • The above support for testing and tower assembly in the clean room continues.
  • Likely the pure design of PCBs and circuitry will become small.
  • L3 manager items continues. 
  • Coordination of radiopurity assays will continue
  • Coordination of fabrication for production (this should only be small adjustments to designs)
  • Readout cable duties will be mostly about finding a vendor that can build many of them and testing that procurement and coordinating with L2 manager and Fermilab cryogenics engineers on mechanical interfaces.
