Minutes and Action Task List from Sept 18 2019 Electroncis and Readout Integeration Meeting

  • Attendance: Clarence, Cindy, Linda, Ting and Steve
  • On last action: Clarence mentioned the Linux update on the server make difficult to talk to the RS232. Need to follow up with this issue
  • We looked again the latest detector layout paying attention of the rack area on top of catwalk
    • We want to move the cryogenic condenser away from the electronic racks
    • One suggestion is to split the Minerva electronics into two racks -- one on the downstream end for the 24 modules there, the 2nd one one the upstream for the 12 modules there
    • Clarence needs to check the length of cables (LV and Ethernet) to see we can use existing one
    • Linda is to give the info on cable length to Clarence
  • Linda introduced the ICEBERG isolated power and grounding scheme
    • The scheme for clean power:  building power ---> double-shield transformer --> new AC panels --> TPC electronics
    • Cryostat vessel outer shell is on detector ground and should be isolated from floor with thick G10 piece
      • G10 thickness needs to be calculated to reduce Independence
    • Service equipment, DAQ  go to building power
    • There should clear separation of detector ground and building ground
      • all grounding connection should be explicit and no floating is allowed
    • TPC front end electronics should connected to detector power and be on detector ground
    • Service equipment and DAQ server should go to building power and building ground
      • dielectric break on all cryogenic pipes
      • the connection between equipment with on different grounding could be made through fibers
    • Grounding impedance monitor should be on all the time to make sure there is no grounding violation
  • The cost of the clean power is about $5K. Installation takes about 1 week with electrical workers
    • should think of doing this early next year after Minerva decommissioning
    • At MINOS, the clean power should be built from the building power (not from the 75KVA transformer)
    • We need to make decision whether we connect Minerva electronics to the new clean power
    • Linda and Ting to contact Igor about adopting clean power and grounding scheme for argonCube cryostat vessel feedthrough flange design
  • Linda also gave us an introduction of the rack building Excel tool.
    • Cindy will try this out to document the Minerva electronics
  • We looked briefly the info we collected on the drift HV power supplier -- Spellman SL150
    • We want to know whether it works with 60HZ 208V input
    • Steve also suggest to get a schematic for the PS
    • Need to get more info on the noise filter design
  • We decided to use DUNE docDB for electronics integration documentation
    • Everyone should get access to it
    • Ting is to ask a new tag "ArgonCube" or something like that
  • We will meet again Oct 2nd. Linda to introduce the SEDR review process.
