Quarterly face to face technical meeting.

HFT face to face meeting LBNL November 14

Note drupal talks entry at end of this page.

The times are meant primarily to reflect the order, not

nesc. the allotted time .  Particular for the focus subject we should spend the time needed.

 

 

Monday

 

9.00   Overview  - flemming videbaek

9.30 PXL Leo Greiner

10.00 IST Gerrit

10.30 Coffe break

10.30 Integration , Clean room:  Dana Beavis

             Discussion.

11.30 Engineering needs for next year, coordination. Eric A. Input from sub-systems.

 

12.30 Lunch

 

13.30 Budget and schedule status Sarah Morgan

14.00 SSD Jim Thomas

14.30 Survey requirements. Input from each sub-system. Discussion

            Tracking requirements (Spiros)

             Mechichal tolerance and accuracy ( Eric)

            Draft Plans from PXL, IST and SSD

16.00 Break

16.30 Software

17.00  Slow control and Online discussion.

            Input from disc. With S&C (spiros)

            Status and plans PXL, ISt and SSD.

 

 

Status updates on technical progress from each sub-system, but excluding material from the focus subject. For the focus subject I would like to assemble material into a common document/presentation so all is  available at once.  Format to be decided, but probably a pdf with tabs per sub-system.

 

Suggested point for sub-systems

PXL, IST, SSD

·      Status of grounding plan

·      Schedule status compared to baseline.

·      Critical items

·      Review and update of Risk list for your system

Integration

·      Schedule status compared to baseline.

·      Critical items

·      Review and update of Risk list for your system

·      New beam pipe plans

 

 

 

 

Suggested focus Subjects:

 

·      Survey requirements, and plans for doing this. The outcome should be an established baseline plan, such that we are on a common basis. If there are open issues evaluate when this will be resolved.

·      Mech. engineering needs, expected CF shop needs for coming year.

·      Slow Control needs, plans, man-power.

·      Online QA (non-expert)

·      Clean room needs  - space, utilities, schedule for this.

·      Integration volumes/boundaries for sub-systems. Case in point is change in available SSD volume in WSC.  The final design should have been had formal signoff.

eSTAR phone meeting:

 
EVO ID 109811 Wednesday 12:30--1:30PM
 
Agenda:
 
a) large eta tracking in TPC (BES fixed-target has done this)
 
 Dan Cebra or Samantha (Dan: please send me your presentation!)
See some of the discussions here:
 
 
And follow-up discussion by Tonko, he is not available this week, will do in a couple of weeks.
 
 
b) synchrotron radiation (EIC: Elke)
  
 
 My take is that it is an issue for high energy electron beam,
 But for 5 GeV, it is a much less severe issue.
 
c) update on inner tracker and track pathlength in eSTAR (Jamie/Nikolai)
 
   and progress on inner tracker geometry?
 
d) R&D call proposal due next week;
 
   1) ETTIE proposal
 
    or direct link:
 
 
   2) crystal calorimeter (Yifei/Huan)
     Should I put your proposal in drupal?
 
e) status of on-going efforts:
   1) W-cal (UCLA) 
   2) event generators (Matt)
   3) MC geometries for ETTIE and Inner trackers (Ming/Jason/Nikolai et al)
   Others?
 
Thanks!
