Sun Jan 14 12:31:32 2024, JM, CB, FEE positions mac addresses
|
*Updated following FEE changes. Correct as of 31/01/24
FEE modules are labelled according to the diagram in attachment. Note attachment is looking downstream. Each FEE module is also labelled with
its assigned number and whether it is a bias connection on the FEE holders. MAC addresses and FEE descriptions are as follows; |

|
Found two leaks in the welding of the manifolds, marked them in tape. Manifold to be repaired on Monday. Remember to re-install missing hoses, which
are in a bucket in the cave.
See attached how it is supposed to look like. |
|
Sat Jan 13 14:25:05 2024, CB, JM, Bias tests with all FEEs connected
|
Connected all FEEs.
The two top fees corresponding to the bottom right detector are connected to damaged flexi rigid PCBs. The top one is missing an pin that should
not be connected to anything, while the bottom one has a slightly cracked connector and is missing the top left pin. Spares should be in Edinburgh. |
|
Thu Jan 11 19:57:20 2024, CB, JM, All FEE holders mounted
|
After discussions with Davide, changed the holes in the FEE holders for the bottom-right detector to slots in order to slightly change the angle that
the FEE inserts into the flexi rigid PCB. This was sufficient, with some difficulties, to insert both FEEs into the flexi rigid.
Attempted to finally mount the last two fees, the top two for the bottom-right detector, which should have been very easy. Somehow managed to |

|
Mounted water manifold on CARME with help from GSI plumber. Connected all the hoses with Swagelok self-locking connectors. Tested for water leaks - it
leaks from nearly every port. The issue appear to be the connections between the manifold and the plugs, as opposed to the plugs and the hoses which do
not leak. |
|
Wed Jan 10 10:22:41 2024, CB, JM, Some FEEs mounted - issues with Det#2 (bottom left)
|
Started mounting some FEEs. We ran into some mechanical issues due to the new ERNI connectors on the new flexi-rigid adaptor PCBs. Davide skimmed 6.5
mm off the edge with the groove (the groove is gone). This is suffiicent to support the flexi-rigid and in spite of our earlier concerns, the flexi-rigid
can be mated/un-mated with the FEEs without major alignment issues. |
|
Mon Jan 8 19:29:57 2024, CB, JM, Manifold repaired + fee assembly in bench
|
Davide extracted the stuck blind plugs and re-threaded all missing ports. Completed manifold assembly, except for main inlet/outlet - left for plumber.
Cut 8x2 2m hoses and assembled with Swagelok quikfit and teflon ferrules.
We're missing back ferrules in brass for the repaired fees. It should be possible to buy them from GSI. |
|
Mon Jan 8 19:27:36 2024, CB, JM, Leak current tests overnight
|
| Left bias in overnight. Leakage current decreased and stabilised. See attached. Bias off as we prepare to mount the fees. |
|
Sun Jan 7 15:38:57 2024, CB, JM, Manifolds mostly assembled + bias overnight check
|
Assembled most of the connectors on the new (green) manifolds. Two blanking pulgs stuck when mounting - cannot remove them or tighten them. Swarf? Will
ask Davide's help tomorrow. Cannot use the manifold until this is fixed.
Checked FEE assembly in cassette. Need to shorten black Delrin supports by ~6 mm. Holes should end up in the correct position thanks to rails |
|
Fri Jan 5 12:29:10 2024, JM, CB, Further bias tests
|
Biased detectors this morning to 150V, the leakage current for all detectors appears stable and is ~3.5 uA. We have also replaced the CAEN bias module
so that all channels are now functional. Detectors are connected as follows;
CHN0 -> Top left |
|
Thu Jan 4 13:15:10 2024, CB, JM, Tent removed - bias test
|
Removed tent, octagon, Neg cables.
Disconnected and removed Baking Pi, TC08, thermocouples.
Tested new rails, plates, fees - it fits. Need to check on the flange next. |
