U.S. ATLAS HL-LHC Upgrade LAr Level 2 and Level 3 Managers Mailing List

[John Parsons <parsons AT nevis.columbia.edu>]

Hi all,

        I give below a few quick comments on the draft slides
posted so far.  I have also posted a preliminary version
of my draft L2 overview slides; please take a look and
send me comments.  (the parts about BE firmware are still
subject to change, as we work with Kj to understand what
is going on there, but the rest should be stable.)

                John

Tim
p. 15 - what does "Boundary conditions" mean in this context?

pp. 1 - 18 - good for external review, but perhaps too long
and detailed for internal scrubbing?  Consider shortening

p. 24 - your signs are reversed.  Calculate new-old
        - VL+ has increased by almost $0.5M ??!!
        - I sent you costs for COLUTAv2 testboard
and radiation testboard. Can't you use those to
update the test jig costs?

pp. 25-28 - include on slides previous costs, so
direct comparison can be made

p. 32 - "SMY"


Andy
p. 2 - edit to remove my email comments

p. 5 - "US previously responsible for Carrier board...
as well as passive RTM (similar to Phase 1)"

p. 10 - stress that new h/w cost estimate and new
quotes included in current Scrubbing Report

p. 11 "better naming conventions" change to
"adapt to ATLAS LAr naming conventions"

- will need to add slides on solution to
f/w cost issue, once resolved with Kj

Hong
p. 12 - LAUROC1 includes shaper from BNL, so stress
a bit more the collab. and don't imply ALFE vs
LAUROC is a "competition"

p. 15 - "removing the future effort at U Penn"

p. 17 - say current M&S comes from ATLAS BOE, and now
you are ready to update with a new quote; also quantify
difference in cost with new quote

p. 19 - what about new quotes for test jigs, packaging?
        - "removing risks" means "retiring" or
"implementing", or ...?
