Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meetings, 1st July

Present

Simon Jolly, Laurent Kelleter, Saad Shaikh, Raffaella Radogna, Fern Pannell

Raffaella Radogna

  • Discussed with BEAMS fellowship opportunities
  • Implemented the geometry of the integrated QA detector in TOPAS to produce a nice figure for the fellowship proposal
  • Started powering up FPGA and learning VHDL
  • Will be connected with Simon on the 2nd July 15.30 to perform measurements for Laurents thesys
  • Will be off on Friday 3rd July
  • Will email Ruben about fellowsips

Saad Shaikh

  • Seem to be making good progress on code for communicating FPGA with DDC232: developing from scratch in VHDL using DDC232 datasheet guidelines.
    • Currently debugging so that code compiles on Vivado.
    • Will need to develop a 'test bench' to test code in simulation before trying it out on hardware.
    • Need to debug UART interface project and figure out how to send data received from DDC232 to computer through UART.
      • UART is probably only fast enough to support integration time of about 750 us. Will need to investigate other methods of data retrieval down the line.

Laurent Kelleter

  • Discussed with Raffy and Simon the final list of measurements that Simon will take in 30' on July 2nd at 15.30
