Hi Gerard,

> So, after a little while power off, you reconnected GC26, saw no issue at first (??) then set inner HV to 140 V and then there was this noise issue and it remains after no matter what the HV is set to?

This one is what I observed.

Best,

Xu

Or, after a little while power off, you reconnected GC26 and immediately saw the issue, no matter what the HV is set to?

Sorry to be pedantic but there is something strange with this problem and we may need more clues.

Thanks

Hi Gerard,

> Did you guys power cycle the readout system after the mysterious noise appeared with GC26?

Yes, we have done it multiple times before we switch to GC13.

> I wonder if power cycling might have fixed it or it was definitely confirmed to be the cable GC26, e.g. you put that one back again and problem appeared again even w/o bias?

To confirm the issue, I just re-connected the GC26 again, and the issue appeared again. It will appear after inner HV ramp to 140V and stays there no matter what the HV is.

> On the T board fitting - is it going to be possible to fasten the T board to mechanical structure with screws and nuts?

I believe it is possible to do that with proper nuts. But I don't know what kind of nuts will be proper. And the outer hybrid will be bend slightly since the T-board will be attached to the MS through the nuts.

Best,

Xu

   I can't recall that we ever had such a problem before. Please inspect the pins on the connectors, though I guess you already have done that and would have mentioned if one looked damaged.

   On the T board fitting - is it going to be possible to fasten the T board to mechanical structure with screws and nuts? If not, I'm a little worried that moving the cable around as things get installed may flex something and cause troubles.

Hi Mike,

My slides can be found in the following link:

We will need your help on the new purple cable test shown in slide 3 and gray cable issue discussed in slide 5.

Please let us know your comments.

Best,

Xu
