“Status of TDAQ for the 2012 runs”

Gianluca Lamanna(CERN)

What we need?

• Detectors• Front End Electronics• Readout Electronics• Clock (TTC) infrastructure• Controls• Control program• Readout Farm & software• …

Common projects: TEL62

• Almost all the detectors will use the TEL62 for the readout in 2012 runs – Straw (see later), LKr, IRC/SAC (see later)

• The main “worry” (DDR2) has been solved: few things still to be tested (JAM, GBE, …), something small to be define (Operating system, …)

• New version of the PCB in the next days.• Six weeks to have the boards• Tests ready in May

Common projects: LAV FEE

• LAV, CHANTI, CHOD, MUV1/2, SAC/IRC will use LAV FEE as FrontEnd board

• Well advanced: test ongoing (20 mins per board)• Time resolution in the specs (100 ps)• Some difference in effective threshold and time offset among

the channels partially due to the experimental setup• Small things missed (CPU, test with TEL62, …)• Remind: swapped cables!• Test will finish at end February, the boards will be ready for

May/June

Talk in PV

L0TP• The L0TP will be done using the

TALK board• Small HW problem with the too

small LVDS drivers to drive more than one LTU solved.

• We are progressing with the L0TP firmware

• Max 4 detectors could contribute to the trigger

• The TALK board will be housed in the TELL1 (we have already the crate)

• Cooperation with LTU

Write on the memories

Matching of extracted primitives

TTC distribution

• The clock fibers will be installed in March• The remaining racks will be installed in April• The patch cable & the patch cord will be installed in

April/May

Clock & Trigger partition

• 6(+6) LTUs have been distributed

• 7 additional LTU will be use in the dry run

• The TTCex modules are ready for distribution

• The LTUs for the Dry run will be installed in April/March after Lab test with TALK board

• The clock source (no spare!) and the SPS signal emulator have been already installed

Marian

Choke/error

• The choke/error cables will be placed in April

• We propose to change the connector from RJ11-->RJ45 to use std CAT6/7 cables: change the TEL62 connectors and patch for the LTU

• Test for 150m cable from CEDAR to EB20 will be done by Marian

• Choke/error “OR card”: the LTU and the TALK board will accept only one pair for each detector. Local OR is needed by LAV and MUV.

• In the future also by GTK, CEDAR, STRAW, RICH and LKR

• A simple common board will be advisable

PC farm• A note is in

preparation to define the network and PC farm for the 2012 runs

• 6 PCs foreseen for the runs: 2 on loan from Mainz, 4 have to be purchased

• We have already 2x HP2910 (24x1Gb/s + 2x10Gb/s) switches, we ordered 5 more (downstairs switches)

• Core switch to be decided (HP5400 with 12 slots and only one module mounted)

1 Gb/s10 Gb/s

Jonas’s Talk

Control program• First meeting with EN/ICE group before christmas • They will provide know-how to help in the preparation of a

working system• Nicolas, from Louvaine, will be involved in this task. A

supervisor of this delicate work should be defined.• Next meeting: Friday .

CEDAR

• The CEDAR installation will finish in the middle of May (and

• The FrontEnd electronics will be done with a new (simple) board with NINO chip daughter cards but without amplifier.

• Special PM socket and new boards directly on the detector (small issue on TDC cables length)

• 1 board = 4 NINOs = 32 channels. Will be ready in July.

• For the Dry Run: • 128 ch• 4 Cedar boards + 1 TDCB + 1

TEL62• Crate FEE type ordered

CHANTI• One prototype

station will be ready for the DR (46 channels): will be not installed in the final position.

• A special board will be ready (in June) to provide power and amplification for the SiPM

• The Chanti Front End will be completed with the LAV FEE boards

• They do not have a Crate: need hospitality (check the cable length)

• For the Dry Run:• 46 ch• 2 Chanti board + 2 LAV FEE +

1 TDCB + 1 TEL62• No Crate (need hospitality)

LAV

• The installation already started

• 3 LAVs will be equipped . Probably the ones in TCC8.

• LAV FEE electronics ready in May/June

• Time corrections in TEL62 firmware (some work started)

• For the Dry Run:• 480 ch• 15 LAV FEE + 9 TDCB + 3

TEL62• 3 FEE type Crates

STRAW• The installation of the completed chamber will start in

middle of July!• The STRAW electronics is quite different wrt the other

detectors• Cover BoardSRBDaughterBoardTEL62• Small problems with links between CB and SRB solved, but

still some problem in the SRB• SRB firmware is ongoing• The DB design will start in March, the board will be ready in

June• But the firmware of both DB and TEL62 will start in

September: the STRAW will not partecipate to the dry run!• Since the STRAW must be

present in the technical run, in the next weeks we need to find an alternative solution to collect STRAW data in not standard way (for instance: adapt the SRB firm to receive the trigger through and readout via VME)

Peter’s Talk

CHOD• The CHOD has been

tested by the Perugia team at the end of January

• Everything works!• The CHOD will

provide the main signal for the trigger in 2012 (some work on firmware started)

• The Front End will be done with LAV FEE

• The CHOD will use the readout boards and crate bought for the RICH

• For the Dry Run:• 128ch• 4 LAV FEE + 2 TDCB + 1

TEL62• 1 TEL62 type Crate

LKR• The LKr will be readout with CPD+SLM• 10 new power supplies (+1 spare): about 5000 ch• The trigger distribution will be done with the TALK board• The calibration control will be done with the TALK board

• The network switch and the fibers to upstair for the farm will be install next week.

• Some work is need on the SLM software (merging, zero suppression,…)

• The PcFarm software is compatible for the SLM• Test the CREAM prototype (after lab test) on the dry run? It’s

very hard…

LKR/L0• The LKr/L0 could

participate to the Dry Run.

• Partial test: generation of fake primitives

• Installation possible as soon as possible (March/April)

• Some possibility to test something “real” in case of presence of CREAM module (tbc)

• The input mezzanine board has to be design (tbc)

• In the next weeks we will define in details the purposes and the modes.

• For the Dry Run:• 2(or 3) TEL62• TEL62 type Crate

MUV 1/2• Only MUV2

available in the DR

• MUV1 possibly in the TR (same electronics wrt to MUV2)

• If ready, the MUV1 electronics should be partially tested in the DR

• The MUV1/2 will use the LAV FEE

• For the Dry Run (MUV1/2):• 264ch• 9 LAV FEE + 5 TDCB + 2

TEL62• 1 FEE type Crate

• MUV2 only• 88 ch• 3 LAV FEE + 2 TDCB + 1

TEL62• 1 FEE type Crate

MUV3• The MUV3 will be installed in

April• The Front End will be done with

the CFD from the old AKL and the readout with TDCB and TEL62

• RG58Lemo patch panel still available

• Still open questions:– 25 PMs needed – Test of the available CFD cards– New CFD cards (2/3) must be

build: Torino (?)– A new card need to be built:

ECLLVDS converter• Wrt MUV1/2: different TEL62,

different firmware, additional TDC (ordered?), same crate

• For the Dry Run:• 296 ch• 19 CFD + 3 TDCB + 1 TEL62• MUV1/2 Crate

IRC/SAC• The SAC is ready for

installation in June, the IRC situation isn’t clear

• 4+4 channels• The frontend will be done

using LAV FEE: “worry” about the cables length (probably isn’t an issue due to the large signals)

• Problems: – they have only TELL1 and

can’t order a TEL62– No manpower for the

firmware, no license for the software

• Hospitality in the MUV crate: 2 slots needed

• Hospitality in the MUV electronics should be discussed with Rainer (it’s not in the spirit of the DR!!!)

• For the Dry Run:• 4 ch• 1 LAV FEE+1TDCB + 1 TEL62• MUV1/2 Crate

Critical points• STRAW: will be not ready for the DR. Different solutions

could be discussed for the TR. Fallback solutions need additional work for STRAW electronics team (different firmware for the SRB etc.)

• PCFARM: the software is very well advanced but Jonas leaves in April!

• TEL62: Several parts of the firmware are still missed• LAV FEE: It’s essential for several detectors try to respect

the production schedule!• CTRL PROGRAM: Identification of a responsible. Proto-ctrl

program for the DR?• IRC/SAC: in the present situation can’t be included in the

TDAQ. Discussion for possible solution.• CEDAR: final decision on how to use the NINOs.

PLEASE! Check the tables and react if something is wrong!
