Dear all,

First of all, I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year 2020. I hope 
you all have a very  joyful transition to 2020. 

I will be on vacation from tomorrow (1/3) till Friday next week (1/10). 
Please note that we will need to switch the FST meeting time to Monday 9:30am 
after next week, because of my teaching constraint for this semester. But for 
next week, I will leave it to Flemming and Yi to call and chair the meeting, 
which can be either Monday 9:30am (our new meeting time) or Thursday 9:30am 
(the old meeting time). If it is Monday, I may be able to call in although I 
am not completely sure yet. 

For the meeting next week, I hope we could hear the status/plan for the 
following topics:

1. Yi/Han-Sheng: mechanical structure, mounting components onto hybrid, 
gluing hybrids onto the mechanical structure, storage box, thermal-stress 
simulation, cooling soft tube test result

2. Mike: status of the v3 T-board and new inner signal cables

3. Zhenyu/Xu: status of the preparation for module assembly at Fermilab
1) module assembly fixtures: UIC machine shop has made all the parts. 
Fermilab will survey them. 
2) module assembly tooling: Fermilab provided the drawings on Dec 16, a 
couple of days before UIC machine shop closes for holidays. I have requested 
the machine shop to make them next week. 
3) commercial parts needed for assembly fixtures/tooling: Xu has ordered all 
of them, and received some of them. The rest should arrive by the end of next 
week. 
4) sensors and APV chips: I gave Fermilab 3 inner and 6 outer sensors, and 64 
APV chips for prototype module assembly 
5) glue and encapsulate: ordered by BNL and received by Fermilab 

- in short, I think it should be ready in the week of Jan 20-24

4. Te-Chuan/Flemming: FST Geant model 

5. Krishan/Daniel: new tracking code

6. Flemming: feasibility to do the irradiation tests at BNL for the cooling 
soft tubes and other components.

Best,
Zhenyu
