EMU SX 5 Slice Test Status Frank Geurts FNAL Dec 2, 2004 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts

EMU Commissioning n This is Phase III q “DAQ meets Detector” q Transition from individual component testing to a full system n q q n EMU Beam Tests (no more!) EMU Slice Test precursor to CMS Slice Test Parallel trajectories in Phase III: q EMU Slice Test q Peripheral Crate commissioning n q n FAST site testing to CMS-EMU integration 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 Dec 2, 2004 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 2

The EMU Slice Test “configure and read out 18 chambers in various configurations, and self-triggering on cosmics” n configure q n have a consistent collection of tools that allows integration in the CMS framework read out q q n n make sure our DAQ continues to be ready for CMS include final FED electronics 18 chambers … q q q 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 Dec 2, 2004 self-triggering q q n include Track. Finder and TTC in the set-up do we need scintillators? cosmics q q low rate, especially considering the vertical mount trigger logic expects either IP or accelerator muons n 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts should we change this? 3

EMU Equipment (I) n 18 chambers means: 18 TMBs and 18 DMBs at least 2 peripheral crates q q n n 3 stations means: q n at least 3 peripheral crates for the (very) near future we can live with one crate hosting stations 2 and 3 q n 2 x {CCB, MPC, VME backplane, VME controller} besides, we don’t have 18 DMBs and TMBs, yet! 18 chambers also means: q q services (gas + LV + HV) for 18 chambers needs some planning & coordination Dec 2, 2004 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 4

EMU Equipment (II) n Peripheral Crate Electronics (ex. modules) q VME controller choices: n n q dynatem: D 360 used so far replacement: no prototype available, yet peripheral back-plane choices: n newest version, first time tested at Fall’ 04 TB q n not-so-new version, repeatedly tested at Summer & Fall TBs q q special PS needs (regulator, cooling, …) no special PS or cooling needs, use std. PS and cooling 9 U crate choices n official Peripheral Crate q q n standard VME crate (Wiener 6021) q q Dec 2, 2004 assumes latest backplane and LV (water cooling required) perfectly fits two in one mini-rack comes with LV and cooling sticks out ~20 cm in the mini-rack, also only one is likely to fit 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 5

EMU Equipment (III) n Trigger electronics q TTC n n n q 6 U VME crate, VME controller TTCvi, TTCvx (or TTCex) LTC? Would be nice. Track. Finder n n n Dec 2, 2004 9 U VME crate, and VME controller SP, TF backplane, and specially prepared CCB DDU? MS? Not really. 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 6

EMU Equipment (IV) n DAQ electronics q ultimate FED solution n q short term solution n n q 9 u crate, FED backplane, VME Controller(? ) at least 2 DDUs, DCC PC with optical Gbit and/or S-Link use old DDU (max. 15 inputs, give or take a few bad inputs) hosted in the peripheral crate daq-pc n n Dec 2, 2004 “same old, same old”: dual Xeon used at the 2004 TBs 4 U rack mount 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 7

What do we have (I) [see http: //cern. ch/Emu. Slice. Test for the latest update] n Enough chambers to choose from! q q Guided by availability of services (LV, HV and gas) Concentrate EMU tests (e. g. DCS) n q q 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 n Dec 2, 2004 well, initially maybe limit ourselves to the lower sectors 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 8

What do we have (II) n off-chamber peripheral electronics q q q 4 TMB 2004 s and 3 DMBs 2 CCB 04 s D 360 VME controller n n q one on loan (as of Nov. 30) two new ones ordered (Nov. 23) VME back plane n n Dec 2, 2004 two (previous) production-type backplanes (Nov. 23) one old prototype backplane (as of Dec. 1) 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 9

What do we have (III) n TTC electronics q TTCvi/vx/ex n q VME controller n n q none available, may become a problem CAEN V 1718 on loan from E-Pool two CAEN V 2718 will be ordered in December VME 6 u crate n Dec 2, 2004 not available, yet 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 10

What do we have (IV) n Track. Finder electronics q q 1 Sector. Processor and 1 TF-prepared CCB Track. Finder VME back-plane n q VME controller n q SP and back-plane currently in use at the electronics lab of the Vienna group in Bldg. 40 see previous TTC remarks VME 9 u crate n Dec 2, 2004 not available, yet 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 11

What do we have (V) n DAQ electronics q 1 old prototype DDU n n q takes up to 15 DMBs (minus 2 or 3 dead channels) in peripheral crate DAQ-PC (dual Xeon) n n n Dec 2, 2004 Gbit read-out of the DDU control of the Peripheral Crate control of the TTC/TF crates 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 12

What’s next? n n set-up one crate with maximum 3 chambers hook up to DAQ PC and DDU q n test timing and other (FAST-site adopted) software tools work on trigger: q source n q path n q input through TTC or CCB front panel equipment n n scintillator or self-trigger TTCvi/vx availability include chamber from the other station q set up Track. Finder electronics Dec 2, 2004 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 13

What’s next ? (II) n n n 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. Dec 2, 2004 34 th EMU CERN Group Meeting F. Geurts 14

Summary n EMU Slice Testing has begun q q n n 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 SX 5 will be the prime location of EMU (DAQ) code development and validation q q translation of FAST site software continuous maintenance of XDAQ interfaces n n XDAQ v 3 is on its way Slice Test set-up will be very dynamic q q expand change the configuration often dynamic environment (moving disks!)
