6. General SAMPA Production Planning
DualSAMPA + FLEX + SOLAR + …: to be mounted during LS2
MCH upgrade planning:
Very dependent on SAMPA planning  has shifted a lot !
SAMPA whole mass production: 2018
SAMPA chip tested and ready for mounting: Nov-Dec 2018
SAMPA planning
Original planning !!
MPW2 submitted : Mach 2015
MPW3 submitted: Sep 2015
Mass production: 2016
SAMPA ready to be mounted: mid 2017
Present, realistic planning
MPW3 submission: end April ( postponed)
MPW3 packaged received: end Aug 2017
MPW3 on DualSAMPA boards: Oct 2017
MPW3 validation: Dec 2017

7. General SAMPA production Planning
Final SAMPA submission: Jan 2018
Start final production: May 2018
SAMPA packaged batch 1 (33%) delivered: Beg Sep 2018
Robotic testing batch 1: beg Oct 2018
SAMPA packaged batch 2 (66%) delivered: Beg Oct 2018
Robotic testing batch 2: beg Nov 2018
SAMPA packaged batch 3 (100%) delivered: Beg Nov 2018
Robotic testing batch 3: beg Dec Remarks: batch 1 ≡ TPC batch ~ 6500 SAMPA; robotic testing by TPC Lund lab, presently for TPC chips  Discussion with Lund for testing SAMPA for MCH: MCH will use Lund testbench ; need MCH manpower (or extra budget) for the testing  6 months for testing ! … but do not need all at the beginning

8. DualSAMPA production and installation Planning
Need DualSAMPA including spares (16500 to be mounted in cavern)
Populating DualSAMPA with SAMPA chips will follow SAMPA production testing
PCB production can start earlier
Production: start March 2019 – end March 2020
Work in cavern
By half chamber: 9 slats (station 3) or 13 slats (stations 4&5): ~ 1000 DS ; 12 half chambers
By quadrant: ~500 DS; 16 quadrants
20 opening days (1 month) of work on one half chamber (dismounting slats – replacing FLEX + cable + DS – remounting slats – SOLAR fixing cabling – 1st commissioning)  need teams from each lab ; one team (3-4 people) per week, each week  plan manpower !
Need : delivery of 1000 DS DS12 per month
At least, 1 year of installation + 1st commissioning
Earliest installation start: April 2019 (LS2 start: Jan 2019)
End of installation : April 2020

9. SOLAR planning
Need 624 SOLAR boards to be installed in the cavern (700 including spares)
First prototype ready – used for tests
EDR: May 5
Second prototype:
Schematic finished
Layout starting mid May
Fabrication: June –July
