Minutes 24.08.2022
- CERN will terminate collaboration with the Russian institutions in 2024
- Russian INR Moscow group is a main player in the FIT (FT0 detector, FEE, and DCS)
- ALICE-PL has enough man-power and know-how to take responsibility for the FIT readout, operations and FEE upgrades (strongly supported by the ALICE management including joint grants, travel and delegation costs, ... )
- ALICE-PL is going to take over all tasks realized by the INR group
- Audit (review) of the current FEE should be requested from INR by ALICE management
- FEE full documentation should be provided by INR
- FEE upgrade plans (to be revised after sort-term upgrade will be completed)
- short term: (INR, 2022): high frequency noise reduction and increasing dynamic range for FV0 and FDD
- middle term (ALICE-PL, 2022-2024): further improvements of FEE based on the INR solutions
- long term: (ALICE-PL, 2022-2028): new electronics for all FIT detectors without limitations related to dead time of CFD, narrow time gate for the charge integration, ...
- Implementation
- PW and AGH will collaborate on the FIT FEE
- FEE upgrade
- PW focus on digital part
- AGH focus on analog part and gateware
- Test labs including PM/TCM boards and LTU/CRU devices should be built at PW and AGH
- More PM/TCM spare boards are required to be produced by INR
- FEE configuration tutorials should be organized online at CERN (Sept. 2022)
- Next meeting after Sept. 2022 FEE tests on beam with upgraded PM mezzanine for FV0 and FDD detectors
