The main purpose of this Twiki is to share information relevant for the organization of the school

Investment

Lab Material Status Estimated price / remarks
2 (NIM) Ortec CF8000 Octal Constant-Fraction Discriminator no material ordered yet All Ortec CFDs are not RoHS compliant and can therefore not be purchased in the EU and Switzerland. The only alternative are the N605 of CAEN that costs EUR 3730
3/4 (muon detection) new scintillator slabs to replace the yellow ones partially done ~2000 CHF
3/4 (muon detection) new PMTs no material ordered yet ~4000 CHF
6 (MicroTCA) ATCA shelf and ATCA blades no material ordered yet 2 slot shelf (with SM): EUR ~3100, PC to access the SM: EUR 600, AMC carrier blade: not yet investigated
9 (Networking) Micro PCs. E.g. HP 800 G4 3 micro-PCs purchased CHF 550-600 (CERN stores) per unit. 3 units required.
13 (SoC) PYNQ-Z2 Zynq Evaluation Boards ordered, recived and forwarded to Johannes 3x 120CHF + 100CHF (for accesories). This new board will allow for programming in Python. In addition the old hardware has been used for multiple years and becomes unreliable.
8 (ADC) SPEC (FPGA-based FMC carrier PCIe card) & FmcAdc100M14b4cha (FMC ADC) ordered, recived and forwarded to Manoel 835CHF + 980CHF (Needed as spares in case the ones we have fail)

Checklist for the local organizers

This is based on the feedback collected in 2020.

  • Check lab book before printing
  • WIFI in hotel is important
  • The free day should be in the middle of the school
  • Bigger screens for the labs
  • Bigger room for labs
