GlueX TOF Meeting, March 28, 2013
Minutes

    Present:
      * FSU: Maurizio Bertoldi, Paul Eugenio, Sasha Ostrovidov
      * JLab: Chuck Hutton, Mark Ito (chair), Beni Zihlmann

Tour at FSU

    The mini-TOF will be the centerpiece of a tour of the facilities at FSU
    for the department chair and one of the deans of the university.

Testing Items

      * FSU is looking at expanding their test jig to accomodate five
        modules rather than the three originally planned.
      * In two weeks there will be three new modules, in addition to those
        in the mini-TOF, that can be put into the test jig and have their
        performance evaluated.
      * The scintillator testing has been interrupted due to shipment in a
        non-transparent wrapping, unlike the first articles. The plan is
        re-wrap the scintillator in a transparent protective wrapping that
        FSU has on hand. The roll was obtained from Eljen some time ago.
      * Maurizio is redesigning the stand for holding modules during
        testing.
      * The Shop has been asked to produce three more PMT gluing clamps.

Readiness Review Items

      * FSU is planning to add formal inspections to the procedures, after
        gluing of the light guides to the scintillator and after gluing the
        PMTs to the lights, to assess the success of those operations.
      * Paul is following up with the University on adding details to the
        invoicing that we discussed at the readiness review.

Assembly and Installation

    We discussed the need to start forming a detailed plan for storing the
    modules on their arrival at JLab, putting the TOF together on its
    support structure and testing of the modules here. Chuck will also
    mention these issues to Tim Whitlatch.

Flash ADC for FSU

    We will ask Fernando to ship a Flash-250 to FSU for use in tests. They
    already have a VXS crate there, on loan from the Lab. Beni noted that
    they will also need a level-translator board and a special cable
    combination to be able to accept an external trigger.
