Current Module LT Capability Only Vienna Boxes Available 10 slots at each site 75% efficiency of running Will estimate the amount of time run per module with: 50,100 module tested at each site 1 month, 2 months, 4 months run periods Will assume 1 week at end to pull together results and 1 week lost to produce modules, procure & test module components, etc.

Current Time Estimates 1 Month 2 Months 4 Months 50 Modules 2 ½ Days 7 Days 16 Days 100 Modules 1 ¼ Days 3 ¼ Days 8 Days Modules Per Site To run 100 modules for ~week each will need either: Both sites running for ~2 months 1 running for ~4 months Any production beyond the 100 modules mentioned disrupts this test significantly Any new modules would have to be put into Vienna box for testing as rods will not be available at rates to burn-in on rods Thus, more modules could be run, but for less time Even more time lost to loading/etc. How long do we want to the modules?

Way To Increase Modules Run Run modules on rods in rod burn-in box To get statistics needed (~100 modules) 16 single sided rods needed Two fully equipped/functional rod burn-in boxes Or multiple runs with smaller number of rods Calculate time run assuming: 2, 4, or 8 rods per box DAQ components for 2 rod running should be available at end of December 2, 3, or 4 running periods Assume 1 month to commission system to point that it is safe enough to run safety unattended Assume 75% efficiency Very aggressive, assumes that software and hardware works almost immediately and that system scales from 1 to 8 rods with no major problems Assume 2 weeks total to pull together results, debugging rods, etc.

Rod Burn-in Time Estimates 2 Months 3 Months 4 Months 2 Rods 3 Days 8.5 Days 14 Days 4 Rods 6 Days 17 Days 28 Days 8 Rods 12 Days 34 Days 56 Days Rods Per Cycle To get more significant running time per module (2 weeks) Need 4 months with 2 rod per cycle capability Need 3 months with 4 rod per cycle capability Need 2 months with 8 rod per cycle capability If a month per module is preferred, need 4-8 rod per cycle capability in order to finish test in time period given Would take significant manpower, hardware increases, and software and data analysis development Takes resources from other commitments: TOB/TEC hybrid PA wirebonding/testing, starting TEC module production, ramp up of TOB module production, finalization of module LT setups

Difficulties in Rod Burn-in Plan Assumes equipment/hardware we do not have yet: 13 assembled rods PS cables 2 rods per cycle still need: 3 Delphi LV PS 2 OFED (2 OEC each) 2 oMUX crates with 3 oMUX each 4 rods per cycle still need: 7 Delphi LV PS 4 OFED (2 OEC each) 2 oMUX crates with 5 oMUX each 8 rods per cycle still need: 15 Delphi LV PS 8 OFED (2 OEC each) 4 oMUX crates with 5 oMUX each Assumes software we do not have yet LT only shown to work on 1 rod May not be expandable (Multiple oMUX crates, number of modules, etc.) Not clear how to analyze output yet Not clear how stable system is with 1 rod Slow controls/Interlocks have not been tested with a rod Data Analysis/Monitoring programs not written yet
