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

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

Hi Hao/Hong,

        Your slides look good.  I give
a few comments below.

                John

Hong
p. 13 - "... is no longer necessary and therefore
is discontinued (~ 100k savings)"

p. 16 - 6.4.5 (not 6.5.4)

p. 17 - you should check with Hucheng, but I think
the packaging costs in the ATLAS LAr BOE are from
BNL in fact

p. 18 "... in lots of 25 wafers"

p. 19 "Updated production cost for PA/Shaper,
based on new quote from CERN"

Hao
p. 6 - add bullet for FE along lines of
"Integrate early - perform system performance
tests of Analog Testboard and Slice Testboard as
soon as available"

p. 12 - add initial bullet saying
"True up" of System Integration schedule needed to
wait for FEB2 and BE schedules to be updated. Now that
is done, have prepared changes to System Integration RLS
and are ready to implement them as soon as we can start
a new DOE BCP.

p. 12 - instead of "Add a new task" say "Adapt to delay
in FEB2 development (due to PA/S and lpGBT delays) and
reduce risk by performing first system tests on Analog Testboard, 
instead of waiting for Slice Testboard"
