ePIC SVT WP3 Electrical Interfaces Meeting

Thursday 10 Oct 2024, 10:00 → 11:00 US/Eastern

1 Introduction

Speaker: Marcello Borri (staff@stfc.ac.uk)

The WP3 work on FPC, interconnection and (some ) module definition was included the the Prelimirary Design Report (PDR).

 

2 Prototyping: Disk FPC

Speakers: Xuan Li (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Zhenyu Ye (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

LBNL is working on futher iterations of the FPC with Omni circuits;

LBNL and RPE LTU had initial discussions on potential future FPC of disks;

3 Prototyping: OB FPC

Speakers: Ihor Tymchuk (RPE LTU), James Julian Glover (University of Birmingham (UK)), Joellen Renck (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Marcello Borri (staff@stfc.ac.uk), Todd Huffman (member@ox.ac.uk;staff@ox.ac.uk), William Helsby (staff@stfc.ac.uk)

Low TRL OB PFC prototype 1 : units delivered to Daresbury Lab. Sorting out support for interconnection of FPC to interface cards: different option explored.

Oxford: in house laser ablation of FPCs for mechanical mock ups for OB stave prototyping 

LANL: see slides, no AC couplings caps can be mounted on this protorypes from Q-Flex. A bridge with wire bonds is needed, acceptable compromise.

4 Prototyping: IB FPC

G.Contin and L.Gonella were added to this mailing list. Discussion ongoing about testing FPCs at Trieste.

A.Hill started to work on the design of mock-up FPCs for L0 and L1.  Discussions with INFN Padova.

5 Further brainstorming

Speakers: Marcello Borri (staff@stfc.ac.uk), Sergio Rescia (BNL), Todd Huffman (member@ox.ac.uk;staff@ox.ac.uk), William Helsby (staff@stfc.ac.uk), Xuan Li (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Zhenyu Ye (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)
