- Exchanges with Hamamatsu ongoing
- Some concerns regarding risk of payment in FY12, but working through them
- There is one 1000 piece delivery (the first) vs regular 500 piece deliveries which is under discussion with Hamamatsu
- Light guide (2 sets of 40) to JLab are in the plan. Jlab mentioned that delivery at the end of April meets our timeline.
- Alam has completed the design of the main SiPM testing board in 6 layers. Presently investigating based on input from Serguei whether this can be reduced to 4 layers. This would simplify fabrication and increase options for production.
- SiPM update
- First Article testing (YI)
- Test setup is proceeding well. Control software has been completed for readout of the Multi-Channel ADC and for measuring the IV curve. Sample tests have been completed.
- The response of the SiPM amplifier board develops oscillations when many cells are plugged in. Carl and YI are working with Fernando to solve this problem.
- Expect the test setup to be ready when the First Article units arrive in about a week.
- First Article testing (YI)
- Simulations
- Electronics/cooling
- Geometry and light guides
- Monitoring system light injection: Media:athens_led_fiber.pdf
- Testing of double-ended readout. LED is glued to a scintillating fiber, which was inserted and glued into a small hole drilled into the light guide at a 15 degree angle (few mm deep).
- The fiber effectively "collimates" the light to direct it toward the far pmt. The near pmt receives reflected light.
- Ratio of Far/Near signals was determined to be 1.9.
- Multiple optimizations can still be studied. Will suggested trying an angle closer to 0 degrees. Athens has determined that the LED can be mounted on wires that provide flexibility in positioning and aiming.
- Eugene asked about placement in actual experiment. The picture on p. 2 shows the setup for a trapezoidal guide.
- Will: Have any timing measurements been completed? No to date.
- Beni inquired about the asymmetry in the ADC disctribution on p. 5. This may be due to multiple reflections and should be studied further.
- Eugene noted that if only a small fraction of the (reflected) light is visible in near pmt, it might be quite sensitive to details of geometry and or positioning.
- Zisis will summarize the work into a document for further feedback.
