16. Instrumentation Department John Coughlan Rutherford Appleton Laboratory14 November 2002 CMS Tracker FED Schedule Tracker/FED installation schedule delayed by ~ 9 months. FED production & installation now expected in 2005 DesignTest Production & Installation Pre-ProNOW-> FEDv3FEDv2FEDv1

17. Instrumentation Department John Coughlan Rutherford Appleton Laboratory14 November 2002 CMS Tracker FED INS Dept Effort Approx. 6 months behind original FED schedule. (but Tracker installation is also delayed). Spent more time and effort getting design of FEDv1 close as possible to Production requirements. (OptoRx and DAQ link specifications came later than expected). Gross manpower figures are still reasonable. But no slack. Profile needs adjustment. DesignTestProduction & Installation Includes APV effort ~ 2 SY integrated

19. Instrumentation Department John Coughlan Rutherford Appleton Laboratory14 November 2002 CMS Tracker FED Conclusion & Comments INS has an excellent track record in delivering fully tested large scale electronic systems which are maintainable for the long operational lifetimes of Particle Physics experiments such as CMS. Future APV effort minimal (consultancy) Gross INS effort projections for FED stand given following assumptions... Effort profile is adjusted to reflect schedule changes (incl carry overs). No major re-design of FEDv1 to FEDv3 for production. High quality of Board manufacture. No extra deliverables from CMS (e.g. Firmware algorithms, OptoRx spec changes). No further schedule slippage (installation in 2005) Personnel with key skills (eg. FPGA firmware) stay with project. Assistance in automated FED production testing. Absolute minimial support for FEDs for CMS tracker module testing. Level of Installation & commissioning support from INS to be agreed. NB No contingency is included (e.g. for staff turnover). INS has an excellent working relationship with Imperial College and RAL PPD Many tasks are shared.
