Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• CDF D0
• CDF load box completed.
• Load Box version 3 automates testing of CAEN high
  voltage modules. It automates the manual testing
  and can be remotely run by computer. It captures
  and stores the measurements that previously had
  to be hand entered. CDF was closely involved with
  the specifications and design of this module so
  it was maximally useful to them.
• 6 built.
• 4 in use at CDF.
• 1 at ESE for software development.
• 1 spare.
• We are ready for shutdown activities
• CDF requested maintenance work on 70 more CAEN
  power supplies. We have done this work before. It
  will take 1 FTE month. The major issue is to
  replace Hank Connor if hes not back at the time,
  but Rick Malhum and Tom Boes are now up to speed
  with this modules.

8
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• NOvA
• Restarted previous hardware effort. 
• Greg Deuerling replaces Bill Haynes on the timing
  system.
• We decided to use a common monitor processor for
  both the DCM and timing system so adding DCM
  processor to Timing Distribution Unit design.
• GPS parts for IPND being acquired this month.
• Neal Wilcer is learning VHDL and will help
  implementing the timing system firmware.

9
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• SNAP CCD readout test stand.
• Completed. We developed a test card adapted for a
  SNAP CCD, a preamplifier and a flex circuit for
  inside the Dewar.
• All projects were done on schedule. Met or
  exceeded the expected performance and did not
  need patches or second iterations. The FNAL SNAP
  CCD packaging project leader, Tom Deihl sent an
  email of acknowledgement to CD.
• SNAP SOC.
• An 800 task WBS has been created for the
  operations of the SOC.
• Resource estimates are underway. 
• Vince is collaborating with the DOE JDEM project
  office at LBNL as they and NASA move towards a
  mission definition.

10
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• PREP and Equipment Support
• PREP added some CAMAC modules to upgrade
  controller capabilities.
• Need to look at high voltage capabilities for the
  future
• The steep slope at the beginning of 07 correlates
  with smaller input queue.
• Smaller fluctuations reflect normal experiment
  request dynamics.

CDF emptied some cabinets and made the input
queue spike
11
PREP metrics

• Steady flow of modules checked out. Average of
  37.3 over last 12 month period.
• http//cdorg.fnal.gov/ese/ESE_PREP_Metrics.html
• has information by user, FNAL division, project,
  etc.

12
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• COUPP
• Two COUPP LED Interface Modules (CLIM) running,
  one at COUPP test stand.  These are the snapshot
  illumination for the cameras.
• Camera interface CLIM boards mostly debugged.
  Schedule to be deployed to the experiment next
  week.
• End of hardware development.
• We will support the collaboration software
  development and testing.

13
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• Computing facilities
• Data Center Management Rick Kwarciany working at
  70 of his time. He generated an engineering
  plan and WBS.
• Currently working on over temperature shutdown
  system.
• Rick demoed a system prototype for facilities
  group.  Made changes to code as per suggestions
  from the group.  Worked with system installation
  vendor to get needed information for bid.
• The current bid is too high.  We need to get
  per-room cost below 30K.

14
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• CMS commissioning
• Simon working on commissioning.
• Power Distribution for CMS Tracker Upgrades
• CAPTAN hardware developed for pixel device
  performance impact studies under DC-DC conversion
  power delivery.
• Initial hardware testing performed with L. Perera
  (University of Iowa).
• Issue Testing may require acquisition of common
  components such as used at CERN, Aachen, Bristol.

15
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• Versatile Links Common Project (SLHC)
• Representative samples of optical transceivers
  (850 nm, multimode and 1310 nm, single mode) have
  been procured.
• Automated test development for Versatile Links
  Common Project (Characterization of Back End
  Components).
• Moving to parallel optics test development (array
  transmitters and receivers)
• Issue Testing limited or slowed by equipment.
  Effort lacks modern test equipment for signal
  integrity and jitter characterization at
  multi-gigabit per second data rates.

16
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• Vertex Detector RD
• CAPTAN DAQ developed to support FPIX2,1, PSI46
  readout devices. Also supports FNAL RD devices
  (Vertically Integrated Pixels).
• Preparations being made for readout of
  multi-plane system at Meson Test Facility.
• CAPTAN system being purchased by INFN-Lecce for
  Si Strips Test Beam Telescope Instrumentation
• Presentation at TIPP09, IEEE Real Time 2009
  Conferences.

17
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• New initiatives RD
• LAr for Dark matter is interested in having an
  ESECON based test stand in 6 month time.
• µ2e experiment has talked to us about a similar
  readout system.
• Both experiments share some requirements high
  number of channels, fast analog signal
  acquisition and processing.
• Fast timing system Erik Ramberg, Mike Albrow,
  are both pursuing a fast timing system with
  better than 10ps resolution. Given that for the
  LLRF we measure phase, hence timing, with
  femtosecond resolution we proposed a similar
  system. But we have limited resources to work on
  this.
• The Axion experiment is interested in our signal
  processing and feedback control expertise. Also
  in our hardware.
• REX (Margaret V.) is interested in our Queuing
  theory expertise to look at some computer cluster
  bottlenecks. Same problem, not enough effort
  available. I proposed Margaret to use a summer
  student under my supervision .

18
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• New initiatives RD
• Low noise readout for Dark Matter and other
  applications. We have done some data acquisition
  and data analysis. This is for now a short RD
  project that could develop in something important
  is we have good results.
• Project X RF leaders want to make sure that CD
  continues participating of the LLRF effort for
  Project X. A major problem is controlling the
  Vector Modulators (also called Fast Phase
  Shifters).

19
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• Accelerator Electronics Operations RD
• ESECON 10 boards produced. All in good health.
• 3 ESECON based systems are running at A0.
• 1 ESECON based systems is running with HTS at
  Meson.
• 1 ESECON based systems deployed and tested
  without RF at NML. This system is for CC2 which
  was moved there and will become operational in
  Mid May 09.
• 1 ESECON working at DESY being considered for the
  3.9GHz system.
• 1 ESECON loaned to ANL running our own LLRF Real
  Time Simulator.
• No ESECON hardware failures after working
  collectively for over 10 years.
• Operations Main issue is that our Controls
  software (DOOCS) developer left the lab. Ron R.
  is providing support until AD finds a
  replacement.
• In the mean time AD Controls is generating an
  ESECON interface for ACNET.
• Other RD tasks continue with firmware
  development and simulations.

20
Project Highlights, Issues, and Concerns

• ILC LLRF RD
• Fermilab and in particular CD is a key component
  of the ILC 9mA test at FLASH. We have contributed
  with shifts at FLASH, data analysis and
  suggestions to improve the LLRF. Other
  collaborators are DESY, ANL, KEK and SLAC.
• The final test is in September when FLASH will be
  given to the ILC 9mA test group for 2 weeks time.
  
• We are not sure that the LLRF will perform well
  when the machine is pushed to limits that was
  never pushed before (high gradients, long RF
  pulses, heavy beam loading and high pulse
  repetition rate). Some LLRF systems there are 10
  years old and have speed and noise issues.
• All LLRF systems are operated at a small closed
  loop gain which does not provide good disturbance
  rejection.
• There is a manpower shortage at DESY to upgrade
  these systems but some upgrade is planned.

21
Issues, and Concerns

• Budget issue
• 0 for training. Wed like to fix this. Also IQA
  interviewers are telling us that we need to
  emphasize training as a way of improving Q.
• Office and lab space
• Building managers have requested Rooms 327a,
  327b, 369a , 369b , 369c , 369d in use by ESE.
• This space is in use and very active. One office
  (Neal W.), the ESECON test stand, the NOVA test
  area. It is also the area we use for guests,
  students, summer students. Area where we have all
  purpose soldering tools and microscopes.
• Our ESE task force is very likely to increase
  with a Bardeen fellow, a possible Guest Engineer
  for the SCRF program, an one or 2 summer students
  from Italy.

22
Tactical Plan Status Summary

• Status Summary
• Budget in good shape.
• Effort is being used as planned.
• We need 100K in equipment for the Versatile Link
  project.
• Some money for training.
• We need to find a solution to the office space
  problem.
