Module assembly site(s)Stave & flex circuit assembly site(s) QA done Stave loading site Reception tests Visual inspection, electrical testsVisual inspection, leak tests, metrology of references Loading Metrology Wire bonding Electrical tests - cold Thermal cycling Electrical tests - cold Rework? Storage Rework?    Wing gluing Rework?  QA done Electrical test? Pull test? Shipment Transport What type? Connectivity tests at PP0? Is it required? Loading Activity – Flow Diagram (Not frozen yet) High chance to be at UniGe USBPix Seabas DAQ system Mitutoyo  Trained personal Need a new climate chamber

4. Loading Activity and QA before Integration Questions today to IBL community: -What DAQ shall we use for Stave Electrical Characterization? Adaptation of USBPIX, a DAQ close to ROD-BOC, or another readout system?  None identified so far working on this and USBPIX experts are improving the software/firmware DAQ for individual FE module readout.  Y. Takubo is a DAQ firmware and software expert with Seabas FPGA board (KEK) - Is it enough to do electrical tests and QA by warm cooling with water and later test at CERN SR1 with CO2 plant before integration to beam pipe? What to do for us: Work preparation for possible loading at UniGe: - Loading tools to be qualified. Done on short staves but work is progressing toward full length - CFRP handling jigs (1 per stave) to be designed and fabricated and will follow the life of the stave from loading to the integration - Tools for wire bonding and pull test in addition to the qualification work - Metrology tools and program to be made under the Mitutoyo dual probe (touch/vision) - Test system to be setup with temporary PPs attached to PP0  a lot of work is expected there but depends of the DAQ choice

5. Loading Activity – 3D Models Loading activity currently under investigation: - Short stave prototypes - Done - Full length stave – under progress Need to investigate: -Handling frame - Loading and wing attachment jigs - Bonding jigs - Wire pull test jigs - Metrology jigs and program - Test box and PPs for the electrical QA

6. From Integration to Commissioning Tests 1.Clean the cooling pipe by doing a liquid/gaz flow 2.Make a stave reception test with CO2 cooling with DAQ system in SR1 3.Remove the temporary PP for each of the staves at the 2 ends 4.Extend the cooling pipe by Brazing technique (baseline) 5.Mount every stave on the beam pipe with proper integration tools (also done by UniGe) 6.Make the electrical connection to type 1 services at PP0 7.Move the all IBL into a cold test box 8.Make the electrical connection at PP1 with temporary PP 9.Connect all the cooling fittings and check for leaks 10.Power and monitor the temperature, supply and current on the modules 11.Run the final DAQ system by doing basic calibration tests 12.If time allows it make a physics run with cosmic rays NB: DCS and DAQ systems should be the final version to be used for ATLAS operation All of this is a lot of work in various field to commission the all IBL and therefore would require a non negligible work anticipation for this
