The Strip Module Working Group aims to develop specifications, steer prototype work, evaluate costing, and organize production. Stay informed about the group's progress and meetings to contribute to the Inner Tracker project. Join us to plan ITK-SC communications accurately.

Introduction of Strip Module Working Group Tony Affolder and Ingrid Gregor
Inner Tracker Steering Committee (ITK-SC) and global planning We are here Working groups are to develop specifications, steer prototype work and evaluate costing and procurement, work out an organisation for production. Also provide a conduit of info between community and the ITK-SC. We need to provide options/best guesses of costing, requirements by Dec 2011 for LoI • Schedule for ITK phase II (as of June 2011) • LoI: middle of 2012 • TDR: Dec 2014 • Get into Production: 2015 • Part production and assembly: 2016-2018 • Macro Assembly:2019-2020 • Test: 2021 • Install: 2022
What is the charge of Strip Module Working Group (SMWG)? So I guess we are the on-detector electronics group • ASICs (ABCN130, HCC, powering) • Hybrids • Modules • Electrical Bus • Powering (DC-DC and serial powering (SP)) • End of Structure packaging • GBT-versatile link, controller electronics provided by readout WG • On-detector DCS (providing info into DCS) • Global DCS definitions in readout WG • Irradiations • As of now, it looks like all irradiations (sensors, materials, modules) are in the SMWG
Organization • First question is how we want to organise? • The charge is too big to be structured top-down • We feel we need to keep the individual meetings that have been naturally occurring, adding more when needed (either to hit deadlines, before submissions, or to fill gaps) • Please let Ingrid and I know of such meeting so we have some idea what is already covered • We know of: readout architecture, stave module building, and the general stave meeting • The SMWG meetings are intended to bring the community together, to bring information from these smaller meetings to the larger audience, and to touch base on a regular basis to plan ITK-SC communications/AUW • We would suggest meeting every 4 weeks for now, but can increase frequency when needed (for instance, the run-up to the next ASIC submission • We propose to have a less formal structure with a list of people who can present on the various sections of the working group • Today’s indico is a first guess on that list, which will be altered by suggestions from the community • If useful (for promotion cases/job searches/CV) or desired, we could set official leaders for the various sub-topics
Strip Module Working Group Meeting • 9 distinct topics on the general agenda (5 of which would have at least geometrical differences for a chosen substructure) • Up to 19 presentations if everyone reports • To have these meeting finish in a reasonable time and to keep them productive and friendly • Please keep formal talks to a minimum; the community is usually already aware of basic components, advantages/disadvantages of the different global choices, and what you have been doing long term • But of course feel free to highlight issues, especially if pertinent to the results you are presenting • Plan on module session during AUW being the place for more formal presentations • Please focus on technical/schedule issues, on what is new since the last meeting and on will be coming up on the near term • Highlight issues which either go across the topics in our meeting and even more importantly, issues that cross working groups • Please indicate if you think important issues are not being covered within the working group or in the community at large • As this is first time this particular set of people get together, it is understandable if a bit more background is needed today and it runs long
When To Meet? • People in -8, -5, UTC, +1, +9 time zones • Trying to get the start between 5 am and 10 pm locally everywhere, there is only three options: 2 pm CERN, 8 pm CERN or 9 pm CERN • So is this meeting time ok for everyone or would the evening in Europe be ok? • Knowing that it is uncomfortable for Japan and West Coast US • Is every 4 weeks sufficient for the rate of progress? Would suggest yes, especially for the next few months (summer holidays)
Mailing List • Group is far too large for ad-hoc mailing lists to work (People have definitely been left off the list for this meeting) • We started a open CERN mailing list: • atlas-upgrade-itk-strip-module • Will send a test message after this meeting • If see you anyone missing or if you are not subscribed, please feel free to add to the list yourself
Near Term Dates of Importance • July 28: ITK-SC meeting focused on strip modules • Requested to show current status, near term plans, a first pass at cost and schedule to production, and a list of open issues to address • Last talk today is a discussion of what we should put together. We’ll do our best to circulate a draft to the full mailing list prior to the meeting • August 11: ITK-SC + working group convenor plenary meeting with progress reports focussing on issues correct working groups • Oct 6-7: ITK-SC + working group convenors plenary meeting focused on ITK- phase 2 LoI prep with additional discussion on phase 1 pixel strategy and on baseline layout and costiing
