NA62 Collaboration meeting

Siena, NA62 Collaboration meeting – Plenary meeting28/08/2012 2

Summary of talks The first NA62 dedicated CHOD section, mainly on the old CHOD:(summary on dry run activities)

• Status of the hardware by Viacheslav Duk

• Test of electronics boards (LAV FEE and TDCB) by Roberto Piandani

• Status of the CHOD decoding by Antonio Cassese

• Progress on the firmware to generate L0 trigger primitives from CHOD by Cristiano Santoni

But also a talk on the new CHOD by Vladimir Obraztsov

Note from Italo concerning the geometry of LAV12 and of the new CHOD

Old CHOD status After dry run:

All channel powered, tested and connected to the readout

All the electronics in place, cabling completed

The complete chain has still to be tested, firmware has to be completed and improved, as well as the software running on the online PCs

LAV FEE from the back:Signal 16-channel cables

LAV FEE front:DCS ethernet cables

in the end of the Dry Run: no input cable 4 ethernet cables the last board terminated

L0 by CHOD Technical run will give a good opportunity to test the firmware developed by Cristiano S. for the generation of the L0 trigger primitives inside the TEL62.

By the way it is also mandatory to have a low level trigger by CHOD already working at the early stage of the technical run.

We can exploit the analog sums available in LAV FEE board to setup abasic trigger distributed to the talk board via a lemo cable.A NIM create and few modules (discriminators, coincidences) will make the job.

Main issue: Timing of the signals before to search for coincidences between horizontal and vertical plane
