  3. Relocation 14/13/11 • Advancing surely but slowly • Most people now installed in new offices • Except: EPOOL, LVPS and Evelyne • New key system (flat per floor) to be implemented ASAP • Labs: • Painted • New electricity installations nearly finished • New Lightning on-going. • Air-conditioning: Completely stalled !.We will have to move into labs before air-conditioning available.Final installation must be done very carefully !. • Electronics keys to be installed when available • SMD lab with ESD floor: Antoine Junique • Group mechanical workshop: Christophe Sigaud • EPOOL: Waiting for reception to be made • LVPS: Waiting for chilled water to be available • Printers per floor to the extent possible • Water fountains per section/floor (as tap water in this building is currently considered “not drinkable”) • Corridors and stairs • To be painted (new CERN standard color scheme) and new lights, at end of relocation • Frames for posters, etc. • No printers/cupboards/storage/etc. in corridors !. • Sanitary installations to be refurbished (but when and how ?) • Elevators planned be refurbished • Meeting rooms: • Hopes to get 14-4-2 assigned as small group meeting room • ME section has large room: 14-5-22 for internal meetings/trainings • 13-2-005: to be refurbished ? • TSO’s: • 14: David Porret • 11/12: Patrick Petit • 13 Maurice Glasser • Cellar of Bat 13 will be made into labs/storage according to our needs later • Please try to keep local Cafeteria alive, Otherwise it will close !. Part of pleasant working environment. • General coordination/monitoring of work for relocation: Patrick Petit • If you encounter problems contact: Patrick, section leader or me. Questions ?. WE WILL HAVE A GROUP DRINK WHEN FINALIZED slide 3

  4. Seminars • I need to plan new seminar period • Suggestions for subjects and speakers most welcome (I start to run dry of ideas !). • Suggestions for improvements/changes ?. slide 4

  5. Working groups, interface • High speed serial interconnects • Coordinated by Csaba Soos • Simulation tools, PCB design, Verification, etc. • Use of CAE tools • Coordinated by Alex Kluge • Initial mandate to get working full board simulation tools (LINUX) • Interface with EN-IC-DEM • Handling of “political interface” and what can be improved: Philippe Farthouat. • Assuring that designs given for layout are appropriate and what design rules to apply: Peter Lichard. • Pool instrument advisory panel. • Experts in different types of instrumentation • FPGA working group ? • Tools, IP blocks, Interfaces, embedded processors, Use in radiation , ?. • Interest for this also expressed from machine sector but when requesting real feedback on this I did not get useful information. • To be made or not ? (I think there is a need for this) • Other working groups, Interfaces ? . Across departments ?. • New crate standards • Power supplies and radiation tolerance • Radiation tolerance • Other ? slide 5

  6. Personnel changes • Retired: • Mike Letheren • Pierre Jarron • Erik Heijne • Serge Reynaud • Mike Burns • Bjorn Hallgren • Madelaine Znoy • Change of group: • Luciano Musa to ALICE, as vital for appropriate running of TPC • End of LD’s: • Philippe Fontaine • Paul Harwood • New LD’s: • Stefano Michelis: On-detector power • Vincent Bobillier: LVPS • Wojciech Bialas: Micro electronics and related CAE • Rafael Ballabriga: Medipix 3 • IC’s: • Xavier Llopart • Allain Guy • Csaba Soos • Vladimir Ryjov • Bertrand Smaniotto • New Fellows: • Sara Seif el Nasr: Versatile link • Mat Noy: NA62 GTK • Rui de Oliveira: GBT link chip • Jose de Cardoso: GBT • Lorenzo Pierobon: Tech IP, radtol • Karolina Poltorak: Tech IP, PLL • Students: • Sebastian Fenger: GBT test • Christian Fuentes: On-detector power • Victor Lorentzen: ATLAS roman pots • Filipe Pereira: ABCN+1 digital • Tuomas Poikela: LHCb Vertex • Daniele Felici: CMS track trigger • Lukas Perktold: TDC • Winnie Wong: Dose pix • Associates: • Maria Marra: PLL • ZhengweiGao : Pool + LVPS + experiments. slide 6

  7. MARS • MARS exercise coming to an end for this year. • Status of past objectives and definition of new work objectives for coming year extremely useful and important for us all. • This year is particular difficult for us to make what we think is a fair/correct step allocation/distribution with the rules that are enforced on us • 1 step: Meritorious (25%) • 2 steps: Particular meritorious (~50%) • 3 steps or more: (~25%) • Additional constraints • Career path and salary band changes requires 2 or more steps • In past few years some additional steps were available (e.g. LHC finalization steps and premiums) • In general we think everybody has delivered excellent work during the last year: A great THANKS for all your efforts and your contributions to make a nice work environment. slide 7

  8. PavolFoldes • Tragic ski accident after only 1 month with us. • Walking just outside marked slope at Les Gets • I kindly remind our young students to be careful when doing skiing, rafting, climbing, Paraglider, Diving, etc.An accident is never far away. • Please profit from the nice region and the fantastic things to see and do, BUT be careful (for yourself, family, friends, etc.) • Profit from CAF, CAS, CERN ski Club, Guides, etc. to do your favorite spare time activities with appropriate safety measures. slide 8

Group picnic • We would like to organize a group picnic (lunch) during this spring/early summer. • Buffet Canadien • Location ?. • Place for 50 – 80 people • Not too far from CERN • Some kind of cover if possible • Proposals • Vallon de Allondon (two years ago) • Cabane des Bucherons, VersoixThanks to Francois for this nice proposal • Other ? • Weather: In case of really bad forecast the day before we may have to cancel. • Friday 12:00 – ~14:00, Date via coming Doodle poll slide 9
