THE DATA SELECTION PROPOSAL AND SUPPLY OF MINIDAQ SYSTEMS FOR APA TESTING Georgia Karagiorgi Columbia University

2 Data Selection Construction Scope • Construct the data selection (aka trigger) system for the first two far detector modules, assuming to be single phase (procurement, assembly, installation, testing at SURF) • Custom online software system facilitated on commercial processor hardware • Includes MiniDAQ production for APA testing at cold test site (Year 1 of project) • Includes pre-production, deployment, and testing at ProtoDUNE (Year 2 of project) • Consortium of 8 US universities

10 DS Hardware Specifications (Production System) Trigger Candidate Generation and Trigger Decision Generation is to be carried out by CPU (O(100) per module). High Level Filter on GPU cluster (5 servers per module). Timing Sub-system interface (commercial GPS and custom hardware for timing/trigger distribution). Modest (rack) infrastructure for above ground deployment at SURF. Specs are being refined, substantiated by simulation studies and demonstration tests at ProtoDUNE.

11 DS Construction Packages • WP1: DS System Construction • Construction of MiniDAQ system to be deployed (as part of DS WP3) at APA Cold Test Site (PSL) during Year 1; • Construction of DS Production Test system to be deployed (as part of DS WP4) at ProtoDUNE during Years 1 and 2; • Procurement of the components for the DS Production system to be deployed (as part of DS WP5) at SURF during Year 4. • WP2: DS Timing Subsystem • Construction of GPS interface card, fanout module, GPS receivers for two modules during Years 1-4. • WP3: MiniDAQ Deployment & Testing • Deployment at PSL (APA Cold Test Site) during Year 1; • Testing during two two-week periods per year during Years 1-5; • Oversight of these activities, including ensuring training of students/postdocs getting involved in the effort (mainly continuity of expertise). • WP4: ProtoDUNE Deployment & Testing • Deployment at CERN during Year 2; • Testing during Years 2 and 3. • WP5: SURF Deployment & Testing • Deployment at SURF during Year 4; • Testing during Years 4 and 5. *Direct coupling to APA Construction Project

12 Overall Resources for DS Construction • Technical Staff: 4.2 FTE for WP1, WP3-5 (Columbia) 1 2/3 FTE for WP2, WP3-5 (Penn) 1 FTE for WP5 (UMD) • Undergraduate Labor: Subawards to CSU, UMD, SDSMT for WP3 and WP5 • Equipment (WP1 and 2 to Columbia and Penn, respectively): $2,924,634 + $104,500 (total direct costs) Plus shipping costs, plus 2-5% setup costs • Travel (centrally through U Chicago): $310,532

13 WP1: Hardware Specifications for MiniDAQ System MiniDAQ construction is at Columbia U. Nevis Labs during Year 1 of the project, as part of WP1; deployed at PSL during Year 1 and used for APA cold tests during Years 1-5 as part of WP3.

14 WP3: Deployment and Testing at APA Cold Test Site • MiniDAQ hardware is an evolution from what was used in ProtoDUNE for cold box; this is on purpose, reinforcing development of DS- system-specific data flow and run control/configuration. • Externally triggered system (random or software instructed trigger)

15 WP3: Deployment and Testing at APA Cold Test Site To be discussed, clarified, and agreed upon : • What is to be used as front-end TPC cold electronics and interface? Timing distribution to front-end? Is that costed as part of APA packages, or on loan? Letter(s) of collaboration? • Can we confirm infrastructure (space for ~1 rack; 10Gbps network available at PSL)? • What are the needed run/cold test specifications (run configuration, duration, trigger rate)? • Is two weeks enough for each APA cold test cycle? And is two APA cold test cycles per year sufficient? • Are resources (provided by DS groups) sufficient to support APA cold testing? • 2-3 PD/GS/UG per two-week test period, trained in MiniDAQ system use

16 WP1&3: MiniDAQ activities MiniDAQ construction is at Columbia U. Nevis Labs during Year 1 of the project, as part of WP1; deployed at PSL during Year 1 and used for APA cold tests during Years 1-5 as part of WP3.

17 Travel for DS Construction Project Highlighted: travel associated with APA Cold Test Site activities.

18 DS Construction Proposal Status • Workshop for DS construction proposal held last Tuesday, June 5 • In the process of procuring quotes and refining cost estimates • Need to understand project management structure and how DS fits in within overall structure, given its far smaller scope than APAs • Address questions specific to APA Cold Tests (slide 14)
