Amp Test
results
Both a fully populated amp, and an RF connector only card (Rev.
A) were fabricated, as seen in photo:

While the gain looked OK
initially, there was a LOT of structure to the gain. The
wiring was a bit tough and the results depend upon
how the cables are flexed. To test just this, a very short
SMA was directly soldered to the input. When this was done
it was seen that
the input coupling is rather poor. In addition, there are a
couple of mistakes in the schematic, to be fixed. So on to
Rev. B.
Items to be fixed:
1) power (VCC) of amp should be tied to A3V
2) a 1000pF cap needs to be added on the amp/Inductor output,
before the 2dB atten pad
3) to reduce trace lengths, it is better to rotate EMI shield
4) while it will require somewhat larger board space, it is better
to add more pins and optimize the input coupling

ATF2
Presentation (2-JUL-2010 @
KEK) [John] [PDF]
Q&A from this presentation [txt]
Follow-up on discussion questions/specifications for Autumn 2010
ATF2 detector system:
- Updated specifications
- 64 channels (first version) = 8x 8-channel STURM2
ASICs (presumably amplifier limited?)
- Fermionics sensor
- 60dB RF gain each channel (50 input termination)
- Question responses:
- USB and/or fiber-optic readout? (rates lower for
ATF2?)
- Fiber optic + cPCI
receiver card + server
- Acquisition mode for ATF2?
- 50Hz max, monitor
4x bunches, pedestal subtraction only (write full
waveforms initially)
- Data throughput/archiving requirements?
- Typical "train" (20 - 45
bunches) rates more like 0.75 - 1 Hz
- A single event is 8
STURM2 * 9 channels * 32 samples * 2 bytes ~ 4.6kBytes
(5kBytes with header/monitor information?)
- Even at 50Hz, this is
only 250kBytes/s, which is very modest
- Per day, even at this max rate, only half a GByte, so no
compelling reason to do too much data compression, at
least initially.

- USB and/or fiber-optic readout? (rates lower for
ATF2?)
- Acquisition mode for ATF2?
- Data throughput/archiving requirements?
1) Update of analysis of CESR-TA data [John] [PDF]
2) Discussion of x-ray paper options [all]
3) Progress on ATF2 beamline [John]
4) Progress on xFEL beamline [Gary]
5) Schedule revisit [all] (Gary at KEK 6/29 - 7/9)
22-APR-2010 [HST]
Meeting [minutes]
STURM meeting minutes 2010.4.23
1) Expected kakenhi budget:
2010: 200 man-yen
2011: 120 man-yen
2012: 30 man-yen
Pending final approval, money should start being available in June.
2) Resolution plots for CesrTA
3) ATF:
Gary at KEK Windows: 5/18-21, 5/31-6/2 (maybe)
4) No more rad testing needed.
5) Belle timing jitter:
Correlation plots show jitter between Belle's copy of RF clock
and bunch collision time is <~15 ps.
Need BPM signal near IP to compare with Belle clock.
May want a special purpose BPM in future for timing measurement.
*Checked with Tobiyama. OCTPOS BPM signals are available at Tsukuba B4.
*If special BPM is needed for Belle-II, something could be arranged
in the Tsukuba straight section. Best to get that request in as soon
as possible so it can make it into the design.
6) Gary 5/17-5/24 @ KEK for sure
7) Sample from Lightspin?
22-APR-2010 [HST]
[agenda]
- Kakenhi status [John]
-
Resolution plots for CesrTA [John] [PDF]
- Progress on ATF beamline/optical bench set-up [John]
-
Continued rad testing (not) [Gary/Larry]
-
Possible concurrent near-detector bpm/Belle clock jitter measurement? [Gary/Larry]
-
my schedule for trip to KEK in May (+June?)
- AOB ?
- When next discuss with Lightspin: layering?
stacking? getting sample? [Gary]
- BPM/octopos -- follow-up with Tobiyama [John]
30-MAR-2010 [HST/virtual
meeting]
- A follow-up from Lightspin on detector options [text]\
- Make a table of specs (since issue keeps coming up)
5-MAR-2010 [HST meeting]
John Flanagan visited UH and a number of items, including plans for ATF2 readout were
discussed and will be summarized here soon.
Gary's list of action items from meeting:
- Look into a camera for beam spot
alignment -- too diffuse
for xFEL, but consider for ATF2
- Contact Chris about Sintef,
fixing detector wafers -- message sent
- Contact Sherwood about sample
3D detector -- message
sent, confusing response received
During this visit, the STURM2 arrived,
with various logo photos:



8-FEB-2010 [HST]
A discussion was held Monday to discuss schedule and get act together for Nichibei report
