  3. FY 2011 Budget - Labor • Details on next slides

  4. FY 2011 Budget – Labor: Comments • The plan for FY11 is to continue the extended data run. • We are learning how to operate the trigger system under beam collisions with synchronized interactions and collision data flow in cards, links and backplanes • We have to be ready for surprises in all hardware areas, particularly as the luminosity and data-flow increase. • As the luminosity climbs, we can expect the changing occupancy to present a changing hardware situation as well • We need the expert engineering team ready to respond to analyze & diagnose aspects of how the hardware behaves. • We need to be ready for additional repairs, adjustments or even modifications based on what we learn. • Finally, we will have a heavy ion run where the trigger may also behave differently and need more diagnostics/modifications…

  5. FY 2011 Budget – Labor: Cal, Mu Trig scope • RCT (Wisc.) consists of 2000 high speed electronics cards, 340 of them are large form factor (9U VME) cards with thousands of components in 18 custom backplane crates and rest are high-speed link (4 Gbaud) mezzanine cards. Also custom clock distribution & high-power control system. All in USC55, accessible 24X7 • RCT is mostly programmed through memory lookup tables (LUTs), but has some firmware mostly in controls, timing. • On detector CSC Trigger Electronics consists of 80 Muon Port Cards (MPC) & clock/control cards (CCC) (Rice) which operate in peripheral crates on the disks. These are large high-speed boards (9U VME) with a large FPGA. They are not accessible during beam but can have firmware revisions • Off detector CSC Track-finder crate has a custom backplane and 12 operating Sector Processor Cards (SP) (Florida) & Sorter Card (SC) (Rice). These are large high-speed boards (9U VME) with multiple large FPGAs. They are in USC55, accessible 24X7. • All of the above systems maintain test systems in B904

  6. FY 2011 Budget – Labor (cont’d) • RCT Eng (50%) – Tom Gorski, Wisconsin (50% on Cal Trig Upgrade): Lead RCT engineer & designer: debugging problems, diagnosing failed boards, analyzing system performance, revise control/timing firmware • RCT Tech (50%) – Bob Fobes, Wisconsin (50% on Cal Trig Upgrade): Repair of broken boards, repair/replacement of broken cables, power supplies, spares inventory (1000’s of parts) • CSC “on detector” Trig. Eng (25%) – Mike Matveev, Rice (25% on Mu Trig Upgrade, 50% on EMU): MPC,CCC,SC engineer & designer: firmware revisions, debugging problems, diagnosing failed boards, analyzing system performance • CSC “off detector” Trig. Eng (25%): Alex Madorsky, U. Florida (25% on Mu Trig Upgrade, 50% on EMU): : Lead SP, TF backplane engineer & designer: firmware revisions, debugging problems, diagnosing failed boards, analyzing system performance

  7. FY 2011 Budget – Labor (cont’d) • CSC “off detector” Trig. Eng. (25%): Lev Uvarov, U. Florida PNPI subcontract (25% on Mu Trig Upgrade, 50% on EMU): SP, TF backplane engineer & designer: firmware expert, debugging problems, diagnosing failed boards, analyzing system performance, expert on interfaces to EMU system. • CSC “off detector” Trig. Tech. (50%) -- ArmanBallado, U. Florida. Assist engineer in routine tests and diagnoses, revision of LUT contents and firmware configurations as requested.

  8. FY 2011 Budget – M&S • Florida: • Annual transport. Meyrin ↔ Prevessin & P5 for trigger operations (CERN car+fuel): $10K • CERN pool charges, small parts, refurbishing boards: $6K • Server plus RAID disk pool for trigger commissioning/performance studies: $8K • Rice: • No FY11 request because of unspent funds in FY08,09 still available • CERN pool charges, small parts, refurbishing boards: $6K spent against FY08.09 funds • Wisconsin: • Replacement Cables, Power Supplies & Components depleted in spares stock: $15K • Annual transport. Meyrin ↔ Prevessin & P5 for trigger operations (CERN car+fuel): $15K

  9. US FTE Fraction of Trigger • L1: • Above table shows US CMS provides 27% of L1 Trigger Physicists • HLT: • Trigger Studies Group MoA pledges total 49.5 FTE • US CMS TSG MoA Pledges total 31.5 FTE • US CMS is 64% of TSG pledged FTE • Note this includes some students

  10. Summary and Conclusions • Labor: • Have a strong experienced engineering team that represents the US CMS trigger “institutional knowledge”. • This team is essential to keeping the trigger system working • Whatever time this team does not spend on M&O, is spent on upgrades. The fraction has been about 50% each. • The support of this team is split between M&O and Upgrades • M&S: • Reaching a steady-state and understood level • General Comment: • Expect that all funding will be needed and unexpected events will be covered by contingency
