1. 23 Barrel chambers and 12 Endcap chambers
HV, LV & DCS from MTCC
23 Barrel chambers and 12 Endcap chambers
LV: stable the whole period – no noise observed
HV: unstable the 1th period – more stable but still not ok during the 2th period
Temp: interesting result – some noise period not understood – improve the PVSS datapoint set
DCS: no major problems found in MTCC – some improvement in the future
Condition DB: stable and easy to retrieve
DCS Monitoring: under development (A. Cimmino) to integrate in the DQM next year
Monitoring & Run Control: more work to do next year for integration

7. HV conclusion
We were able to reproduce the instability effect at BLG 904 using resistive charge  problem is not related to the detector/cable
Measuring independently the current on the ground wire we understood the instability was on the monitored current (Imon) and not on the generated current.
The increase let us suspect to a thermal drift of some components and so we begin to use the CAEN fan unit to ventilate the boards.
Using the fans the board temperature went down from 31oC to 20oC and for 6 days Imon was very stable but increased on the 7th
The s of the Imon distribution of the ventilated boards is 0.2 mA and it was twice without fan.
Software power cycle do not affect the Imon (offset is constant)
Hardware power cycle of any board present in the EASY crate affect the offset of all the boards in the crate.
CAEN got all the results and is now trying to reproduce them in their lab. Some critical components has been found !!!!

9. Current Chamber studies
<current> distribution of the 23 barrel chambers for a 4 days period with magnet ON and with stable conditions (offset subtracted)
RMS = 0.5 mA
<I> = 2.5 mA
Good to monitor “nervous”
or unstable chambers
