DIRC Planning for FY16
From GlueXWiki
Support Structure
- Milestone: Design finalized May-June 2016
- Optical box length needed to determine how they will be supported
- Design review by JLab (ie. Tim et. al.): assume ~4 weeks
- Milestone: Fabrication start July-August 2016
- Get started on contract with IU: Statement of Work and Sole Source Justification
Optical Boxes
- Milestone: Design finalized June-July 2016
- Is additional support for engineering time at MIT needed?
- Design review by JLab (ie. Tim et. al.): assume ~4 weeks
- Milestone: Fabrication start August-September 2016
- Get started on contract with MIT: Statement of Work and Sole Source Justification
Electronics
- Milestone: ASIC and Adapter board order submitted July-August 2016
- Some delay in MAROC chip packaging, so CLAS order of ASIC and Adapter boards may be delayed.
- Opportunity: Possible use of FPGA boards from CLAS
- The FPGA boards for CLAS were produced with wrong hole size, but could be used for GlueX.
- Could assemble boards ~now. Waiting for quote from vendor to evaluate cost reduction.
Transportation
- Milestone: Shipping crate design finalized October 2016
- Technically FY17, but considering additional transportation tests planed, should we start earlier?
