This is the place where Detector Ops group will keep the most up to date schedule that they have for when detectors prototypes will be delivered to the ASC for integration into the DAQ and initial testing. Currently this contain the timeline for the ePixHR (5kHz), ePixM (5kHz), and the ePixUHR (33kHz) cameras . Additionally this page will also contain expected delivery dates for production detectors (spares of existing detector types), delivery dates for detectors that is out for refurb, key delivery dates for testing capability, and scheduled beam times.
Prototype Delivery
ePixHR (5 kHz) camera
For the ePixHR camera a prototype small detector will be delivered, followed by a Quad, and finally the full camera. This is done in order to allow for the DAQ integration for the Quad (which is repeated 4 times for the full camera) to begin prior to delivery of the full camera and allow more time for this work. Commissioning is currently set for sometime in the end of 2023 (date to be confirmed), and one large camera and 2 small cameras will be delivered.

ePixM camera (5 kHz)
A non thin entrance window detector will be delivered initially for DAQ integration purposes, followed by the cameras themselves, with thin entrance windows. Commissioning is set to start in April 2023. 3 Cameras will be delivered.

ePixUHR (33 kHz)
For the UHR camera, the use of a hardware emulator will allow for start of DAQ integration. The first prototype detector will be delivered in April 2023. Commissioning of science cameras will happen in the 2026-2027 time frame.
