Outstanding/key items:

  • LTC6820 demo board availability is poor for steering module control boxes. Liverpool has 4 on order but delivery has slipped to DEC 20. Four multiplexer boards have been ordered as a backup.
  • Tile/vPDU testing status? Current estimate is that vPDUs will be made available for the cold test stands in March/April.
  • vPDU vacuum bagging
  • Discussion of cable testing at RHUL.
  • Planning for LV and HV(?) filtering
  • Are shielded cables required inside the detector?
