EMU SX5 Slice Test Status

• Frank Geurts
• FNAL

2
EMU Commissioning

• This is Phase III
• DAQ meets Detector
• Transition from individual component testing to a
  full system
• FAST site testing to CMS-EMU integration
• EMU Beam Tests (no more!)
• EMU Slice Test precursor to CMS Slice Test
• Parallel trajectories in Phase III
• EMU Slice Test
• Peripheral Crate commissioning
• set up a testing facility for fully loaded
  Peripheral Crates (à la FAST site testing)
• Commonality prepare/integrate on- and
  off-chamber electronics for CMS operation
• Towards Phase IV full EMU system using FED
  crates

The EMU Slice Test
configure and read out 18 chambers in various
configurations, and self-triggering on cosmics

• configure
• have a consistent collection of tools that allows
  integration in the CMS framework
• read out
• make sure our DAQ continues to be ready for CMS
• include final FED electronics
• 18 chambers
• two stations of one trigger sector (e.g. station
  2 and 3)
• 3 stations each with 6 chambers (20/40 sector)
• up to 6 stations with 20 sectors

• self-triggering
• include TrackFinder and TTC in the set-up
• do we need scintillators?
• cosmics
• low rate, especially considering the vertical
  mount
• trigger logic expects either IP or accelerator
  muons
• should we change this?

EMU Equipment (I)

• 18 chambers means
• 18 TMBs and 18 DMBs
• at least 2 peripheral crates
• 2 x CCB, MPC, VME backplane, VME controller
• 3 stations means
• at least 3 peripheral crates
• for the (very) near future we can live with one
  crate hosting stations 2 and 3
• besides, we dont have 18 DMBs and TMBs, yet!
• 18 chambers also means
• services (gas LV HV) for 18 chambers
• needs some planning coordination

5
EMU Equipment (II)

• Peripheral Crate Electronics (ex. modules)
• VME controller choices
• dynatem D360 used so far
• replacement no prototype available, yet
• peripheral back-plane choices
• newest version, first time tested at Fall04 TB
• special PS needs (regulator, cooling, )
• not-so-new version, repeatedly tested at Summer
  Fall TBs
• no special PS or cooling needs, use std. PS and
  cooling
• 9U crate choices
• official Peripheral Crate
• assumes latest backplane and LV (water cooling
  required)
• perfectly fits two in one mini-rack
• standard VME crate (Wiener 6021)
• comes with LV and cooling
• sticks out 20cm in the mini-rack, also only one
  is likely to fit

6
EMU Equipment (III)

• Trigger electronics
• TTC
• 6U VME crate, VME controller
• TTCvi, TTCvx (or TTCex)
• LTC? Would be nice.
• TrackFinder
• 9U VME crate, and VME controller
• SP, TF backplane, and specially prepared CCB
• DDU? MS? Not really.

7
EMU Equipment (IV)

• DAQ electronics
• ultimate FED solution
• 9u crate, FED backplane, VME Controller(?)
• at least 2 DDUs, DCC
• PC with optical Gbit and/or S-Link
• short term solution
• use old DDU (max. 15 inputs, give or take a few
  bad inputs)
• hosted in the peripheral crate
• daq-pc
• same old, same old dual Xeon used at the 2004
  TBs
• 4U rack mount

8
What do we have (I)

• see http//cern.ch/EmuSliceTest for the latest
  update
• Enough chambers to choose from!
• Guided by availability of services (LV, HV and
  gas)
• Concentrate EMU tests (e.g. DCS)
• clear presence should protect us against recent
  disk-move catastrophes
• Original plan keep close to the DAQ room, i.e.
  YE- side
• In the end, EMU Slice Test should not care on
  what chambers are to be used
• well, initially maybe limit ourselves to the
  lower sectors

9
What do we have (II)

• off-chamber peripheral electronics
• 4 TMB2004s and 3 DMBs
• 2 CCB04s
• D360 VME controller
• one on loan (as of Nov.30)
• two new ones ordered (Nov.23)
• VME back plane
• two (previous) production-type backplanes
  (Nov.23)
• one old prototype backplane (as of Dec.1)

10
What do we have (III)

• TTC electronics
• TTCvi/vx/ex
• none available, may become a problem
• VME controller
• CAEN V1718 on loan from E-Pool
• two CAEN V2718 will be ordered in December
• VME 6u crate
• not available, yet

11
What do we have (IV)

• TrackFinder electronics
• 1 SectorProcessor and 1 TF-prepared CCB
• TrackFinder VME back-plane
• SP and back-plane currently in use at the
  electronics lab of the Vienna group in Bldg.40
• VME controller
• see previous TTC remarks
• VME 9u crate
• not available, yet

12
What do we have (V)

• DAQ electronics
• 1 old prototype DDU
• takes up to 15 DMBs (minus 2 or 3 dead channels)
• in peripheral crate
• DAQ-PC (dual Xeon)
• Gbit read-out of the DDU
• control of the Peripheral Crate
• control of the TTC/TF crates

13
Whats next?

• set-up one crate with maximum 3 chambers
• hook up to DAQ PC and DDU
• test timing and other (FAST-site adopted)
  software tools
• work on trigger
• source
• scintillator or self-trigger
• path
• input through TTC or CCB front panel
• equipment
• TTCvi/vx availability
• include chamber from the other station
• set up TrackFinder electronics

14
Whats next ? (II)

• Whenever more off-chamber electronics comes
  available and more CSCs are available with full
  services ADD MORE!
• Whenever, whatever newer hardware comes available
  (vme controller, backplane, etc.) OUT WITH THE
  OLD, IN WITH THE NEW!
• Whenever something works, REPEAT IT preferably
  somewhere else.

Summary

• EMU Slice Testing has begun
• FAST site testing days are over
• and electronics needs to become available for
  Slice Test
• Lack of TTC electronics will become a problem
• Slice Test at SX5 will be the prime location of
  EMU (DAQ) code development and validation
• translation of FAST site software
• continuous maintenance of XDAQ interfaces
• XDAQ v3 is on its way
• Slice Test set-up will be very dynamic
• expand and change the configuration often
• dynamic environment (moving disks!)
