1) Organization and Scheduling (Giuliana):
As agreed within the Technical Board, in order to have a successful integration of the different parts of the detector, the Proto WG is going to be set-up as a structured one, where each task is clearly assigned to a specific expert. A preliminary structure, already discussed at March CM, is linked to the agenda.
- Alex Kish has been charged with the Integration&Operation task. He will be responsible for providing written procedures for the Proto system(s).
- Revision of each L2 task is expected from the corresponding manager (marked in boldface) within 1 week. (Please include a detailed list of all tasks to be fulfilled before operation).
- Need to set-up a team at CERN. We are looking for people available to fully commit to the Proto Project. Interested collaborators should contact Giuliana.
- People available for shifts: Edgar (CIEMAT), Paolo (Houston), Sam and Daria (RHUL), Caludio (PU), Andrea M. and Valerio (Roma1)
2) MB2 assembly and plans for a warming test (Eugenio P.):
MB2 cold test ongoing at LNGS. Procedure to be validated by the test: flush with gas Nitrogen; liquid fill from the bottom <1cm/min; pressurize and drain <1cm/min.
- Alessandro/Eugenio are asked to provide written specifications for manipulation, installation, commissioning (cooling and warm-up) within 1 week.
3) TPC overview and planned activities with a mockup (Yi/Hanguo):
- shall provide within 1 week a written description of procedures that are feasible in the CERN cryosystem, including estimates of time needed to cool down and warm up within specifications; also needed a detailed list of runs to be taken with proto-0 for validation purposes, with schedule.
4) DAQ overview. Critical items (Marco):
DAQ group working on several issues. MB monitoring software implementation (see minutes July 18): work ongoing. Data compression: work ongoing. A few HW items missing for the run. Need a detailed list of runs for each configuration that will be tested (see above). PierreAndre can implement a slow-control in MIDAS but needs specifications.
- Marco will provide a detailed list of tasks and missing items within 1 week.
