Agenda

Preparation of parts for ECAL -- Sasha
- - signal cables - done
- - signal patch panel [1] - done
- - HV short cables: received, checked, labeled (last week)
- - HV long cable, 18 ready (out of 36)
- - HV distribution boards: in preparation
- - LV cables: 150 cables received, 400 cables in total
- - LV distribution boards [2]. Have to populate with connectors, and design a box around the PCB
Ongoing projects -- Sasha, all
- - Tested and labeled all HV cables ! and about 100 LV cables -- Laveen
Testing of PMT dividers -- Sasha / Vlad / George
- - Testing procedure [3]
- - About 1300 dividers have been fabricated (Chris, Armen, Mindy)
- - Started removing power regulators on the newly fabricated dividers
- - George has tested 41 dividers (865 have been tested in total) [4].
Installation of the FCAL2 detector & integration to GlueX -- Sasha / Vlad / Hakob / Laveen
- Detector installation [5][6][7]
- Installation of the LMS
  - 1053 fibers have been installed [8] [9]
- Cable and divider installation [10][11][12]

Analysis/Simulation

Minutes

Attendees: Bill, Sasha, Igal, Laveen, Phil, Jon, Zisis, Vlad, Stjepan, Liping, Jane, S.T.

All short HV cables have arrived and have been tested and labeled
Fabrication of long HV cables with Radiall connectors ongoing (18 out of 36)
Short LV cables continue to arrive, current inventory has been checked and labeled
Still need 250 PMT dividers; 865 have been tested
LMS installation ongoing at ~80 fibers/day; 1053 installed
Power has finally been installed for ECAL racks
- Waiting for ethernet connection; parts for patch panel for trigger on order
Laveen to start working on software/xml specification for geometry
Igal working with Daniel L.: machine learning tools/framework
- Phil will provide a master's student to work with Igal
Calibration discussion
- Plan is to install layers of PMT dividers, make light tight and start checking row-by-row using LMS
  - Voltage calibration curves, use results from 5x5 prototype for guidance in setting HV
- Set up self-trigger, look for cosmics
  - Might also set up scintillator paddles for triggering
- Then with beam: Compton + pi0 events, study with MC first
