Simple questions¶

What means : Prepare an experiment?¶

1. Month before experiment : calibration of detectors independantly
2. Merging of all dataflow coming from different detectors
   • use signals coming from a unique detector
   • question : Possible to have a GTS (AGAVA) alone for configuration phase ?

What means : Configuration of AGATA?¶

For a new cluster :

1. Check of signal from clusters
2. Build, check and addition of an electronic line in global setup
3. Configuration of Narval with a new cluster
   • Use of genconf.py ...

When all clusters are configured:

1. Add event builder in Narval topology

What means calibration?¶

When everything is configured:

• Modification of threshold and parameter of trapeze in segment mezzanine
  • Need long trace
• Modification of configuration files generated by genconf.py script (for narval parameters)

What means supervision?¶

• rate of rejection/ acc of GTS
• Bytes in / out in narval actors
• PSA event / sec (with CPU load)
• Backpressure

And on error ?¶

Anyway, we stop the run before any action!

Conclusions¶

Idea to keep in mind¶

• Adding PSA database in TM
• Difference between Crystal ID and Crystal position ...
• Information about dead segment
• Lookuptable position / coordinate ...

Actions¶

Step 0 - Narval (for AGATA) integration in GANIL RCC (End of June)¶

• (Beers)
• Daemon to start/stop servers remotely
  • Need to give interface sooner possible to B. Raine
• NFS common to share AGATA configuration files in GANIL world
• GANIL script to start / stop AGATA servers
• Common OpenLDAP
• Updated TM
  • Multi user
  • Autogenerated Narval conf files
  • Update of "genconf.py"
• Fake GEC to check bridge RCC -> GEC

Step 0' - Electronic preparation¶

• need to reconfigure whole electronic lines

Step 1 - Adding GEC and electronic (20 July)¶

• Use of GEC
• Need to check
  • VHDL0 and VHDL1 control / configuration
  • GTS standalone or with trigger

Step 2 - Coupling VAMOS and AGATA¶

• Need actor to convert MFM data to ADF one
• Adding filter to analyze VAMOS data ?

Step 3 - GCC power¶

• Definition of GCC roles
• Removing #$%@ing NFS
