LHCb electronics, 13th October 2016 News I 1st electronics Production Readiness Review completed: CLARO chip for RICH Next week is ICECAL chip for Calo PRR general guidelines: Last chance before sending credit-card details! Check all specs are fulfilled Check that all interfaces have been tested Check production plan (procurement, testing, manpower etc) etc etc…… Full list of criteria to guide review process Ken Wyllie, CERN LHCb electronics, 13th October 2016

LHCb electronics, 13th October 2016 News II Common components: GBTX production for LHCb is finished! All parts delivered to labs (please check) VERY IMPORTANT: Delivered in sealed bags. They must be stored in sealed bags (low humidity). Please periodically check the seal is still good. VTTX: 2’500 parts delivered to LHCb. Will now start shipping to labs. VTRX: Slower start to production, but all labs now have small quantities GBT-SCA Version 2: Parts available Jan – Mar 2017 LHCb electronics, 13th October 2016

LHCb electronics, 13th October 2016 News III TWEPP 2016: Good presence from LHCb: Five LHCb-related talks & some posters Next year: Santa Cruz, USA, 11th September Launch of new working group on FPGAs (in radiation) Contribution from RICH (Bucharest) this year. Mailing list to be formed: Contact me or Salvatore Danzeca to join list Related Seminar at CERN 28th October: Analysis & Mitigation of Radiation Effects on FPGAs https://indico.cern.ch/event/574635/ Ken Wyllie, CERN LHCb electronics, 13th October 2016
