      RD51 School

      Diego points out the following interesting opportunity

       

      The RD51 Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors School will take place from November 27th - December 1st, 2023 at CERN. 

       

      The school will consist of both theoretical lectures and hands-on laboratory exercises. As announced during the RD51 Mini-Week, the school focuses on state-of-the-art MPGD technologies and is targeted at students and young scientists working on gaseous detectors.

       

      More information can be found on the school website: https://indico.cern.ch/e/rd51mpgdschool

       

      Applications for the school are open from now until June 30, 2023.

       

      Attached to this mail, please find a letter describing the school and calling for applications.

      Please forward this information within your institute and share with anyone you think could be interested.

       

      The morning lecture sessions are open to the community and can be followed in-person or by remote connection. Registration is required.

       

      If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us.

      TOAD:

      Naseem:  Last week did leak test of gas cart.  Leaks found and has now been signed off on.  High pressure side of ORC should be ready.  Still doing final few things for ORC, including power supply for hyraulics.  Grounding done.  So will try to schedule ORC soon, maybe next week. 

      Rik: Alysia has been tracking down solutions for MPWCs.  In beamline ToFs are working.  Some issues with noise in NIM electronics.  It comes and goes.  But both units operate and PMTs look mostly healthy.    Tom asked about separate files, yes likely to have separate readout paths. 

      Ioannis:  Hopefully cards at Imperial this Friday, in US in a week.

      Anezka:  Need to convert DAQ output to a format to be read into GAr soft.  Several channel mappings to sort out.   ALICE had 6 connectors per FEC and TOAD has three. 

       

      Light Collection:

      Justo:  Maybe an update on electronics and sim in a week

      ECAL: 

      Vivek:  Working with Leo on clustering issues.
