7. 4/16/2004 M. Hohlmann - EMU meeting at Ohio State University, Columbus 7 R-sensor calibration Defined the distance d that will be calibrated: linear mover R-sensor (wire extension potentiometer) precision dowel hole (known in CMS geometry) direction of motion R-post (precision dowel pin) Distance d we will calibrate: “center R-post to center dowel hole” Mounting plate or tower extended wire d Calibration will produce (non-linear) V sensor (d) Will calibrate over range Δd ≈ 3 cm Top view possible true radial direction possible SLM line

8. 4/16/2004 M. Hohlmann - EMU meeting at Ohio State University, Columbus 8 SLM Clinometers in alignment system Clinometers monitor inclination of alignment transfer plates 15 o 75 o -45 o Transfer plates are mounted at 6 different angles in φ

9. 4/16/2004 M. Hohlmann - EMU meeting at Ohio State University, Columbus 9 Clinometer mounts 6 different mounts accommodate various angles of transfer plates, so that null-positions of clinometers are horizontal Mount production: Wisconsin / FNAL Clinometers mount onto horizontal red surfaces All 3-D clinometer drawings: T. Moschoutis (Fl. Tech)

14. 4/16/2004 M. Hohlmann - EMU meeting at Ohio State University, Columbus 14 Base plate leveling Use Surveyor’s Laser Level to find true horizontal position for base plate Expected leveling precision: 0.1 mrad (0.5 mm over 5 m) (compare to 0.01 o = 0.175 mrad clinometer resolution)

15. 4/16/2004 M. Hohlmann - EMU meeting at Ohio State University, Columbus 15 Other progress Calibration DAQ –Replaced RS232 serial line for PC – Agilent Multimeter communication with parallel GPIB interface to avoid LabView buffer overruns COCOA alignment program –student Sara Walker has compiled latest greatest COCOA version 3.2.1 on CMS cluster at FNAL –slow progress: compiler problems, version changes, … –made deal with Robert Lee: help in exchange for writing a COCOA user manual –getting help from Pedro Arce at CERN

16. 4/16/2004 M. Hohlmann - EMU meeting at Ohio State University, Columbus 16 Calibration schedule May 4, 04 –UW/FNAL (Dave in person) delivers to Fl. Tech at least one final mount with sensor attached for every type by mid-June –Fl. Tech finalizes calibration setups for all sensor types mid-June –Fl. Tech starts calibrating sensors for ME-2 by early September –Fl. Tech has calibrated all ME-2 sensors (=1/8 of total) mid-September –Ship calibrated sensors to CERN for installation on ME-2 September 04 - … 2005 –Fl. Tech continues calibrations & delivery for other disks

17. 4/16/2004 M. Hohlmann - EMU meeting at Ohio State University, Columbus 17 Management issues ProgressProgress –Fl. Tech/CMS MoU for EMU in place since 3/3/04 –SoW for EMU work in FY04 in place since 3/26/04 –Fl. Tech accounting waiting for FNAL P.O. … External Funding –NSF turned us down: very positive on technical issues in proposal But: “viability” issues: new group, small group, … 9% cut for HEP @ NSF for FY04 Insufficient support from CMS (letters not enough !) NSF recommends strengthening cooperation with other Florida Institutions ( UF !) & starting physics preparation Will try again for fall (DOE/NSF)…

18. 4/16/2004 M. Hohlmann - EMU meeting at Ohio State University, Columbus 18 Loosely related news Have formed a “GRID group” at Fl. Tech: –working with 6 other faculty (4 CS, 2 IT, 2 math) –ante a 48 node Beowulf cluster to join Grid2003 ?! –LB & MH interested in CMS software: development of software alignment tools get involved in PRS Muon → physics with muons possibly ride the tail end of ‘Data Challenge 04’ ?! –CS & IT people interested in developing grid middleware & other grid infrastructure: privacy process mobility, swarm intelligence, …
