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

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

Hi Hong,

	Thanks for posting the draft slides, which are very good.  I give some 
comments and suggestions below.

        Regards,
                John


p. 6 – the bottom line is BNL needs to test ~40k ASICs. That msg is a 
bit overwritten by your last bullet ending in 55188 spares. Maybe stress 
the 40k number at BNL instead?
p. 7 – could go in backup?
p. 9 – maybe add a bullet (in a different color for emphasis) stressing 
that you have received ALL the packaged production chips
p. 10 – ‘More recently, the system has been integrated with the robotic 
system developed by IJCLab
   - not sure why photo stresses “RF switches”??  Could label more (eg. 
test socket)?

p. 11 – add bullet saying that we are following ATLAS requirements (eg. 
doing 11 per lot), since otherwise numbers seem a bit arbitrary
  - in last bullet, “pass” should be “passed”
  - add final bullet saying “Radiation qualification of production 
ASICs complete”

p. 12  – some problems with formatting (at least in my pdf viewer)

p. 13 – “except for the electromagnetic interference (EMI)” raises 
questions but does not answer the.  Eg. say EMI is causing noise to be 
higher than expected; under investigation” or something like that
   - similarly “system reliability (including socket performance 
degradation) issue is being investigated” does not make clear you are 
seeing issues, as are others using same socket, incl. IJC Lab for ALFE2 
and UT Austin for ADC

p. 15 – “Flood in IJCLab in 10/24 disabled the robot testing there for 
many months, and has delayed comparing performance in the 2 setups”

p. 21 – would be good to give target for PRR; eg. June, as discussed 
during LAr Week?

p. 26 – to save presentation time, I don’t think I will update this 
“cartoon schedule”, since it is anyway not very useful and it would 
anyway go to backup (you have the more useful info on p. 27)

p. 29 – capitalize “Rank” consistently
  - typo “PPR” should be “PRR”
  - Last bullet about “some risks” is not clear.  Which ones?  (maybe 
just delete this bullet?)

p. 30 – maybe add that, according to current working schedule, all work 
will be done by 30-Mar-2026
