Simulation studies and data analysis
Paola - FTK review

4. AMCHIP Deliverables (in red)
2011 a single 65 nm 12 mm^2 MPW block chip - TSMC;
2012 small MPW production or 24 mm^2 MPW followed by smaller production for 8 PUs (yield will make the decision)
x 12 mm^2 chip, full wafer masks + 6 wafer production.
small productions of 6-12 wafers each year.
Work Plan:
Develop two full custom cells (pattern and majority logic) and the standard cell project (control logic) in parallel (3 designers)
Coordinate all parts toghether and simulate intensively the whole project, before and after placing&routing
Test vector generation by a high level C++ program
Final checks (DRC, LVS) and timing analysis before submission with help of IMEC

5. Boards: Deliverables (in red)
prototype development for each board
2012 insertion in the vertical slice & diagnostic tools development; eventually II prototype, first small production (if LHC will run on 2013 otherwise 1 year later)
2013 insertion in the experiment; small production
partial production each year to complete phase-I system
Workplan
Design the board
Design the Firmware
Simulate the logic
Optimize Layout, Placement and Routing
Analogical Simulation of critical nets
Prototype production and assembly
Tests and diagnostic production
set of small productions of board: test and commissioning

6. Vertical slice: Deliverables (in red)
2010 Creation of a “powerful” test stand for boards
2011 Development of control software and tests
integration of prototypes in a single test; diagnostic development
integration in ATLAS. Development of procedures, monitoring, data bases….
2013 or 2014 data taking
Workplan
Setup of a 5kW crate for cooling tests
transfer of all CDF software into the ATLAS framework
test setup of single boards and boards together
production of all needed software for TDAQ, DCS integration
installation of few Hola2 to connect to a small detector section
connection to L2
Paola - FTK review

7. Demonstrator→Phase I: Deliverables (in red)
2012 or 2013 installation of Hola2 during long shutdown
2013 enlargement of vertical slice to cover the barrel
data taking
2015 extension to the forward/backward detector regions
increase computing power as needed
Workplan
Substitute all Holas (small bunches), reconnect TDAQ & test
Connect FTK barrel to detector and L2 and test
Extend control, diagnostic…software and data bases to barrel
Continue the extension to whole detector
Update the system adding PUs.
Paola - FTK review

8. Simulation studies and data analysis
Completion of FTK architecture studies
Development of new HLT selections based on FTK track use
simulation of FTK on real data and comparison to generator data
data analysis to evaluate FTK-based trigger rates and signal efficiencies
analysis of b and tau samples to search Z→bb, Z→tau tau measure Z efficiencies
analysis of hadronic B physics samples to understand efficiencies.
analysis of diboson samples to understand their efficiencies for lepton and jet channels
Workplan
complete FTKsim
make FTKsim available in Athena
develop new b, tau, lepton selections based on early available tracks (TDR)
study on data rates and object/particle efficiencies of new selections
Paola - FTK review

9. Conclusions A lot of work has to be done
Time could be short if the long shutdown is really in 2012
The first FTK data taking is probably not before 2014
