1. Plans for the 2015 Run Vito Palladino Straw Working Group 2/2/2015

2. Hardware Gas leak to repair in Station 4 HV discharge in Station 4 to be understood SBC ◦ Move to local accounts (AFS is not stable enough) COVER ◦ Make safer the masking of the channels ◦ Check the multi-hit and FIFO full flags SRB ◦ Fix the NIM outputs (patch to be applied on all boards) ◦ Dissipaters installation ◦ Trigger matching 2

4. Hardware II One DATA cable to be changed in Station 1 Installation of the shielding for the cable trays (Reminder: the data cables are RJ45 but the signals are LVDS) Gain monitor module Full development setup in 154 (16 covers,1 or 2 SRB(s) and a complete MPOD system) 16ch ISEG HV module repairing Temperature sensor to be installed on the manifold 4

6. Run Control Init procedure: ◦ Recognize PLLs problems + automatic actions ( => restart ALL the PLLs ) ◦ Recognize links problems + automatic actions ◦ Add masking of not connected straws ◦ Add reset of internal links SOB/EOB ◦ Automatic checks + actions:  Masks  Connection to COVERs  Thresholds  PLLs  Noise spikes (induced) Automatic reload of COVER parameters in case of reset Readout of the HW configuration 6

8. VME Monitoring Produce the FW to access the data from VME Generate histograms and optimization of the histograms update Add the 25ns structure of the time distribution 8

9. Raw Data Analysis Toy Montecarlo to estimate the data throughput in case of trigger matching, with various trigger rates. Exercise the trigger algorithm(s) Generate a root tree from the raw data (Straw only) Data merging Searching for problems in COVERs connectivity ◦ Multi-hit and FULL full flags ◦ Noise spikes 9
