MICE-SciFi team, 14 October 2003

SciFi: progress report Progress:

All stations shipped to FNAL … … assembly in progress

Measurements: Effect of radiated RF on VLPCs … OK Light yield, cross talk etc. to come

Updated costing G4MICE:

Progress on debugging new G4MICE

Stations: mechanicalPrototype:

All three stations shipped to FNAL

Lightguides

All lightguides shipped to FNAL

Implementation at FNAL:D0 test stand:

Trigger etc. ready, assembly in progress

RF test done: effect at FULL power ~ 0.5 ADC count increase in width of pedestali.e. an effect of less than 0.05 pe (i.e. OK for MICE)

Cost and schedule Updated cost and schedule in preparation:

Mechanical: revised costing ~prepared. Shows saving and is based on experience with prototype

A. Bross (FNAL) updating electronics costing: ‘Borrow’ D0 spares? Implies negotiation with D0 … Build new VLPC cassettes … cost being evaluated

Schedule: Mechanical: revised following experience with

prototype Electronics: being revised by A. Bross (D0

experience)

Software

Present focus: Gridification: Done: Rapid generation of large data sets RF background generator: under test SciFi simulation: updated: under test SciFi reconstruction: updated: under test

Schedule to provide results for collaboration meeting is tight … but probably will be met

Summary:

Tight … but … still possible!
