Liverpool SEGMENT MEZZANINE CORE MEZZANINE ATCA CARRIER GTS MEZZANINE DIGITIZERS: From 11 modules planned all ready tested and working. ATCA CARRIER: 24 cards to be produced. Production ongoing, 11 cards already delivered and tested. Other 11 with problems in Network or PS. CORE MEZZANINES: 25 tested and available. SEGMENT MEZZANINES: 76 in production. Delivery expected during AGATA week. TCLK CARDS: 10 new ones available GTS MEZZANINES: 37 new produced and tested, LINCO2 READOUT MODULES: 25 Produced and delivered, now under functional test GTS VME CARRIERS: 20 new VME GTS carriers produced and tested. INSTALLATION: at GSI is being performed in two phases, i.e. 15 Capsule and then upgrade to 25. AGATA DIGITIZER

Future Electronics R&D Group has been busy with the production of the Early Phase 1 Investigation of new ADCs with 8 channels from Linear technologies with considerably reduced power consumption. Pre-processing Mother board based on Exogam II 220 x 220 mm. Power consumption 30 to 40 W Price 15 keuros + 20% -0% per capsule. Requires new manpower available). INFN-Padova / INFN-Milano Proposal (Distributed Solution): CSNSM-Orsay Proposal (embedded Electronics concept): Partially compatible with the present Electronics Pre-processing and ADC Electronics already at prototyping stage (firmware partially implemented and tested for 38 channels) Cost < 25 k€/capsule ADC Card mounting Pre- Processing Card

Early Phase 1 AGATA Data Flow NARVAL at GSI IPN-Orsay, CSNSM-Orsay, INFN-LNL, GSI, GANIL, IFJ-PAN-Crakow, IPN-Lyon A substantial upgrade has to be done to the Data Flow Farm for Early Phase 1. Excellent compatibility of new Pizza Boxes with LINCO2. Narval version tested and working - Enables to set a depth for the IO buffers - It fixes a start/stop issues in actors - it uses screen title and sessions names The new data format has been discussed, new version of the ADF Library available. MBS with AGAVA - AGATA Data Flow working. New Event builder compiled and tested with the new NARVAL version (to be installed) A new filter called adf analyzer is available, it removes data from ADF frames, the generated output will be used by a pattern builder. Pattern builder and event collectors are already designed. MBS status : two shared libraries to get and send data to MBS are developed and tested. Network and GRID: network structure defined. The GSI site is connected to CC-IN2P3-Lyon through the HEPPI-network. Data can be transferred to the AGATA-Grid via this link.

Infrastructure: Mechanics and DSS IRFU-Saclay, GSI, STFC-Daresbury, IPN-Lyon, JYFL-Jyvaskyla, IPHC-Strasbourg, GANIL, INFN-LNL, INFN-Padova, INFN-Milano AXIS LVPS:14 AXIS LVPS already available. Patch boxes: test of the prototype patch box successful. Presently under production (few available). Autofill system: The AGATA autofill system has been modified in order to cope with the different cryogenic infrastructure at GSI. It has been delivered and is being commissioned. HV System R&D: IRFU-Saclay has no personnel available to continue with the development. Construction Database: Installed and ready at GSI Mechanical Infrastructures: The production was done timely. After the mounting test, in March the installation was completed. All working with only minor issues. Reaction chamber designed and produced at IKP-Cologne. 5 Clusters already mounted in the structure Installation at GSI: All the W.G. participating actively

Data Analysis, Pulse Shape Analysis & Tracking PSA &Tracking: The PSA team is focusing on the requirements for the GSI phase. Key issues: The implementation of multiple interaction basis PSA using the Particle Swarm Algorithm (M. Schlarb TUM). The update of the detector basis data sets and validation of ADL basis. To agree and understand the requirements for the commissioning experiments. The plan remains to have two PSA codes available for the start of the GSI Campaign: Data Analysis: O. Stezowski has made available an updated version of the analysis software. The EGAN School took place in Liverpool, last November, had 35 participants, with the vast majority looking to gain experience in the analysis of AGATA data. The majority of the material from the school is available for download from the school website Meeting to follow up the AGATA data analysis steps in Q Data analysis on GRID is under study at IPN-Orsay and IFIC-Valencia.

Commissioning: The commissioning is consisting of two parts, a technical one devoted to the integration of AGATA with all subsystems (FRS, LYCCA & HECTOR), and a performance one, devoted to the study of the AGATA performance under experimental conditions typical of GSI/FRS.. The AGATA performance commissioning (2nd part of the commissioning) will use a primary beam of (preferably) 80Kr in order to measure both Coulex and particle knockout. To be done in GSI beamtime Block 2 23 July - 9 September 2012 Simulations: produced simulated data for typical GSI experiments, a secondary fragmentation reaction and a Coulomb excitation reaction, with atomic backgrounds included. The output files were made available to the PSA working group to test the different algorithms. The Coulomb excitation simulation is based on a recent GSI experiment (S377 - Coulex of 33Ar). The input file for the AGATA code contains information on the outgoing nucleus from MOCADI, atomic background from the abkg code, and 33Ar transitions from the ToGeant.C script which is part of the Gammaware package Uni.
