**(BTeV-3576)**

# I. [PROJECT DESCRIPTION]{.underline}

> The BTeV Project provides for the construction and fabrication of the
> BTeV detector and installing it in the C0 Collision Hall and Counting
> Room in a state ready to take data and to provide it with a source of
> high luminosity proton-antiproton collisions in the C0 Interaction
> Region. The detector, a forward spectrometer, covers the forward
> rapidity region with respect to the antiproton beam. The detector will
> permit the experimenters to study the decays of produced particles
> containing b-quarks and charm quarks to search for Charge Parity (CP)
> violation, mixing and other rare processes. The ultimate goal is to
> find physics that is not described by the Standard Model description
> of these processes and therefore represents new physics beyond the
> Standard Model. The key areas where BTeV excels are in the ability to
> study decays of the B~s~ meson and to study decays of B mesons and
> baryons that contain photons and π^o^'s in the final state.
> Achievement of the necessary sensitivity requires modifications to the
> accelerator to produce high luminosity at the C0 Interaction Region.

# II. [OVERVIEW OF PROJECT STATUS -- M. Lindgren]{.underline}

The BTeV project continues to make good progress towards baselining and
the beginning of construction. Overall, management continues to forecast
the beginning of commissioning with protons as early as December 2009.

There were no injuries on the BTeV project this month.

> More detailed information on the project's progress and status this
> month follows in the rest of this report.

# III. [MASTER SCHEDULE AND FUNDING SUMMARY]{.underline}

> The project continued to work to develop a master WBS Openplan file.
> The focus for the month was on rationalizing and eliminating errors
> from the existing subproject files.

# V. [NARRATIVE HIGHLIGHTS]{.underline}

## MANAGEMENT HIGHLIGHTS -- M. Lindgren

> Change requests -- While not a requirement at this stage of the
> project, there were two PCR's that were requested, submitted,
> reviewed, and approved this summer. The first was a change in the IR
> Lattice accomplished by moving beamline elements. The change was
> presented to the L3 CCB and approved. The second was a level 4 change
> request from the trigger group (WBS 1.8). The change to commercial
> microprocessors and switches reduces cost and schedule risk, so was
> approved. In addition the project was the subject of an internal
> review of the performance management system. The results of that
> review are being incorporated into the system.

## BTeV DETECTORS (WBS 1.0) -- M. Lindgren

### Overview

> There are no statistics for the production status at the end of the
> month yet, as no items are yet in production. Most groups are
> continuing R&D efforts, highlighted by a large effort at the FNAL
>
> Test beam facility, which is reported on below in the subproject
> narratives.

## BTeV Magnets, Toroids, Beampipes (WBS 1.1) -- C. Brown

### Overview

### 

> This subproject, to construct the Vertex Magnet, the Muon Toroids, and
> the BTeV spectrometer Beam Pipes is currently in the pre-construction
> conceptual design stage.

**WBS Level 3 Narratives**

Pre-construction conceptual design engineering continues on the details
of the Vertex Magnet rollers and the Muon Toroid/Compensating Dipole
interface. No pre-construction conceptual design engineering has been
devoted to the Beam Pipe design this month.

**Administrative / Project Management**

The subproject manger continues to interact with the engineering group
on the conceptual design and with the other subprojects through
discussions with the Project Manager and also by attendance at the
weekly Technical Board meetings..

> **Milestones for the next six months**
>
> This subproject is currently on schedule to finish the conceptual
> design of the Vertex Magnet, Toroid Magnets and Beam Pipe by April 1,
> 2005, in accord with the Open Plan WBS1.1 schedule, although there is
> no explicit milestone associated with this completion. No other work
> is scheduled in the next six months.

### Resources

> In August 2004, two mechanical engineers, Ed Chi and Bob Wands, and
> the subproject manager, Chuck Brown, devoted some of their effort to
> WBS1.1 conceptual design.

## BTeV Pixel Detector(WBS 1.2) -- S. Kwan 

### Overview

We finished the phase 1 of the 2004 test beam run on August 23. The new
pixel telescope was successfully commissioned during this time. We have
also tested 3 single chip hybrid assemblies using the FPIX2 readout chip
and the new TESLA sensors.

The RD program continued to make progress on all areas. We have almost
finished our goals for this year on sensor and detector hybridization.
This puts us in a strong position to start the preparation for
preproduction as soon as we get funding for next fiscal year.

On the readout electronics, we have un-covered a small problem on the
operation. After extensive tests and simulation, we are confident that
we will be on track to have an engineering run of the pixel readout chip
in the spring of 2005. We have also successfully assembled and tested
the first 5-chip module using the FPIX2 chips.

We have also made some progress on the mechanical design. A lot of
effort has been focused on the substrate testing, carbon fiber support
studies, and position sensors testing.

**WBS Level 3 Narratives**

**1.2.1 - Sensor and Detector Hybridization**

1.2.1.1 Sensor prototypes

The TESLA moderated p-spray sensors have been bump-bonded to the FPIX2
readout chips using two different technologies. Three of the single chip
detectors have been tested in the test beam. All together, we
bench-tested 6 single chip detectors and one five-chip module. Using a
radioactive source, we have determined that the yield is better than
99.95%. This is the first time that we have thinned the readout chips to
our specified thickness, 200 microns.

1.2.1.4 Hybridization prototypes

All delivered modules were X-rayed to check for any bump defects. We
inspected 60 chips and found no missing or displaced, deformed or
shorted bumps. The tool is available and will be used as a means of QA
during production.

**1.2.2 - Electronics**

1.2.2.1 Pixel Readout Chips

We uncovered a problem with the FPIX2 chip which was related to the
relative timing between the BCO clock and the arrival of the signal
pulse. A systematic test was carried out and the information was
provided to the ASIC designers who subsequently verified the fault in
the logic and came up with a solution. In the meantime, with a change in
the operation, we took lots of test beam data using the FPIX2 chips. We
also had discussion sessions with the ASIC designers on the next steps
and the timeline. A to-do list was generated and agreed upon. The pixel
chip shares the same backend with the silicon strip readout chip (FSSR)
and the same designers will work on both chips. At this point, the
designers projected a target submission date for the engineering run of
around late January to mid-February.

1.2.2.2 HDI & Pixel Module Development

The first 5-chip FPIX2 module was assembled and tested successfully in
the lab.

1.2.2.4 PIFC prototype

After extensive discussion and prototyping, we have now a good design of
the HDI-PIFC connection. We will use wire bonds. The next step is to lay
out the new design and procure a small quantity for test.

1.2.2.9 Feedthrough board

We received the first mechanical prototype of the feedthrough boards.
These will be tested in a vacuum. These boards failed the electrical
test and the vendors will produce another batch of boards. Because of
the difficulty of producing such boards (large size and multi-layers),
the electronics team in CD has re-designed the board. A new
specification document was prepared and reviewed. This new design is
currently being lay-out.

Mechanical Support, Vacuum, and cooling

1.2.3.2 Substrate

More FEA has been done on the substrate and various properties such as
thermal performance, thermal stresses etc have been studied. We have
found a new vendor and are waiting for a quote from them. We have also
held discussions with our existing TPG substrate vendor (GE Advanced
Ceramics) on QA issues. Because of the difficulty of producing long
pieces of TPG, we have changed our design to have a shorter piece of TPG
which will be laminated with carbon fibers and PGS. The connection to
the heat sink will be done by two short TPG pieces.

1.2.3.7 Vacuum system

We had more discussion on the option of using Titanium Sublimation Pumps
(TSP). A TSP has been ordered and we will do tests to verify its
performance. We have also ordered a new turbopump for our outgassing
studies.

1.2.3.5 Pixel Plane Position Control System

We had a technical presentation from PI, a German company specialized in
piezo-electric actuators. An RD proposal was prepared by the company. A
piezoelectric actuator has been ordered. We will study the performance
of the actuator in a radiation environment.

1.2.3.8 Substrate Support structure

The Frascati team finished their test to monitor the stability of our
prototype carbon fiber support structure using Fiber Bragg Grating
(FBG). We have uncovered a problem with stability of our current support
structure. A new design has been prepared to address this issue. A new
carbon support structure is currently being made in Lab 3.

System Integration and Test

1.2.4.3 Station assembly and testing

We continued our discussion with CKM on getting a KTeV spool piece for
our system demonstrator test next year. If we were to design and procure
a new vessel for the test, that\'d cost us more than \$50K. After a few
rounds

of discussion, we have been offered a prototype RICH vessel. This may
work for us with minor modifications.

1.2.4.5 Test Beam

We have successfully commissioned the new FPIX1 6-plane pixel telescope.
We tested three FPIX2 single chip detectors in the test beam under
various conditions such as angle of incidence, operating temperature, HV
bias of the sensor, LV setting of the chip, threshold setting, and
different ADC settings. All together, we have collected about 200 runs
of data. Each run varies in size from 100K events to 2 million events.

**Administrative / Project Management**

We had a Director\'s Performance Management Review on August 10-11.

We continued our preparation for the upcoming CD2/3a review.

We have continued our discussion with university collaborators on
preparing MOU\'s and SOWs for next year.

We are also working with some university collaborators on their funding
request for next year.

**Personnel**

August is a slow month because of vacations and a lot of the technical
staff has been drafted to fix the Tevatron during the summer shutdown.
We have lost two full time mechanical engineers this spring. For the
time being, a mechanical engineer has been assigned at the level of
50-60% to work on the pixel project. Our electronic engineering manpower
remains low. We lost two EEs (CD) since last August and a new hire
started working this month. He would not be working directly on the
pixel detector.

**Milestones**

We are on target to have the engineering run of the pixel readout chip
next March. However, the ASIC team has to put this as their top priority
for the next 6 months in order for this to happen.

## Electromagnetic Calorimeter (WBS 1.4) -- Y. Kubota. 

### Overview

> **1.4.1 - Detector - PWO Crystals**
>
> In the past, we tested radiation tolerance of our third vendor,
> Northern Crystals (Apatity) using their ALICE-sized crystals and found
> that they are adequately radiation tolerant. However, when CMS ordered
> 5 crystals of CMS endcap size in May, and three were given to our IHEP
> collaborators, they found out that these crystals were significantly
> more radiation sensitive (lost up to 50% of light after being
> irradiated at 100 rad/hour for 70 hours.) The vendor and IHEP
> physicists worked on an improvement project over the summer.
> Initially, the vendor made small crystals with different growing
> conditions, which included doping materials, ingot materials (platinum
> vs iridium), and purification levels of raw materials. Subsequently,
> the IHEP collaborators measured the radiation sensitivities of these
> small crystals to choose what parameters are important to control to
> produce good crystals. After this study, Apatity has produced 9 new
> BTeV size crystals with new parameters, and they have been tested at
> IHEP. They lost at most 30% of their light output, which is comparable
> to those crystals from Bogoroditsk and Shanghai Institute of Ceramics,
> and are acceptable to the BTeV use.
>
> The facility used for the above study is a good prototype of the
> facility we must build to test the production crystals for their
> radiation tolerance.
>
> **1.4.3 - EMCAL Electronics and Associated Infrastructure**
>
> QIE prototype chip submission using CMP 4" multi-project wafers will
> go ahead in Oct. PO has been sent out. Expect chips by the end of the
> year.
>
> **Milestones**
>
> Milestones in the recent past and in the next 6 months tell us that
> many activities are scheduled prematurely in terms of the needs of
> their results, and readiness due to R&D work leading up to these
> milestones.
>
> Milestones which OP says we should have met in the recent past are in
> the table below.

### Physicist, engineering, drafting, technician, installation team, and survey resources are currently at their planned levels. In particular, sufficient physicist, engineer, technician, postdoc, graduate student, and undergraduate student labor exists at all three university sites. We will need to start to ramp up our labor in April of 2005. At that time we will need to add one full time technician at Vanderbilt. Undergraduate labor and further part-time technician labor will need to be added this summer at all sites.

**WBS Level 3 Narratives**

**1.7.1 - Sensors**

No WBS activity for sensors was scheduled to occur in August.

**1.7.2 - Electronics**

1.7.2.1 - IC Readout Chips

No activity was scheduled for August 04 on the read-out chip
development. Nevertheless, because of the availability of personnel in
Pavia, we decided to anticipate the simulation work for Pass Two IC,
which was originally scheduled for October 04. This should allow us to
reduce the time needed to reach the first milestone, i.e.
1.7.2.1.3.1.1.8 (T5M: Pass Two IC Schematics, Simulations, Layout).

1.7.2.2 & 1.7.2.3 -- Hybrids and Flex cables

In August, at SiDet, we started the assembly of a pre-prototype ladder
to test the preliminary versions of the hybrids and flex cables, which
will be delivered by the end of September.

**1.7.3 -- Mechanics and Cooling**

We have practically defined with PLYFORM all the Reqs and Specs for the
inner station mechanic prototype. We are pretty close to reach the first
foreseen milestone for this subproject, i.e. 1.7.3.1.1.3 (T5M: STMEC
Reqmts & Prel Specs Documents Revwd & App).

**1.7.4 -- Integration**

No integration activities were scheduled this month.

> **Administrative / Project Management**

We are on schedule on all the subprojects.

## Trigger (WBS 1.8) -- E. Gottschalk 

### Overview

> The monthly report for August, 2004 for WBS 1.8 includes work on the
> L1 pixel trigger, L1 muon trigger, L2/3 software, and L2/3 hardware.
>
> For the L1 pixel trigger we met with vendors IBM and Apple to learn
> more about their PowerPC processor products. For IBM the discussion
> focused on their blade servers, customization that they offer for
> their blade servers, and PowerPC processor roadmap. The IBM roadmap is
> compatible with the projections that we are making for processor
> performance in our WBS. Discussions with Apple dealt with their G5
> Xserves.
>
> We continued with a low-level of activity on the development of the
> FPGA segment tracker, and discussed possible changes in the
> architecture of the L1 pixel trigger.
>
> For the L1 muon trigger we modified the trigger algorithm, which was
> developed to run on a Texas Instruments DSP, to run on Apple G5
> Xserves and Intel processors. The modified code was used to determine
> benchmarks for these processors, and results were used to modify the
> WBS and Technical Design Report.
>
> For L2/3 software we studied pixel detector alignment methods. The
> alignment of the pixel detector relies on mechanical sensors and
> verification of alignment using charged-particle tracking. In addition
> to using tracks that come from the interaction point, we studied the
> use of high momentum tracks coming from the interaction of the beam
> halo with a wire target located approximately 12 meters upstream of
> the interaction point. The studies were performed with a prototype of
> the new Geant4-based BTeV simulation package. We also worked on the
> package itself, and implementation of the current pixel geometry.
>
> For L2/3 hardware we completed the assembly of the 33-node prototype
> L2/3 PC farm, which will be used for the RTES Super Computing 2004
> demonstration system. The farm consists of 31 worker nodes, one
> data-server PC, and one manager PC. The installation was started in
> June. At the beginning of August some work on the farm was done by an
> RTES summer high school teacher, and summer high school student.
> Completion of the monitoring software installation was done, as well
> as setting up the farm in a manner that makes it more manageable using
> scripts. Moreover, a console server was tested on a small 4-node farm,
> and work was started on making serial cables and adapters that were
> purchased in August.

## Event Readout and Control (WBS 1.9) -- K. Honscheid, M. Votava 

### Overview

> We have no milestones in the next 6 months. All ongoing work is in
> project management in preparation for upcoming reviews with a .5 FTE
> Computing Division effort. Technical work in WBS1.9 officially begins
> in November, 2004 with the start of the DCB design. Alan Prosser is
> the electronics engineer working on the activity and other resources
> (technicians, software engineer) are expected to be available as
> needed. Software design begins in January, and we are actively trying
> to fill an open position to help in this activity.

## C0 Interaction Region (WBS 2) -- M. Church 

### Overview

> For all WBS elements the bulk of the effort was spent on establishing
> and documenting a technical, cost, and schedule baseline for the
> upcoming CD-2/3a reviews. Design work continued through August on some
> elements. A minor lattice change was implemented which provided some
> cost savings. 4.5 FTE's from Accelerator Division and 10.1 FTE's from
> Technical Division worked on this project in August 2004. Some M&S
> funds were obligated for travel to vendors and for cryogens for High
> Temperature Superconductor (HTS) lead tests. All funding was provided
> as "in kind." No milestones were scheduled for this month, and none
> were met. There are no milestones scheduled until 4/05.

## C0 Outfitting (WBS 3) -- T. Lackowski 

### Overview

Work continues towards the completion of the Title 1 Report. Drawings,
schedules and cost estimates have been updated to incorporate refined
high density computing heat loads and an accepted value-engineering
proposal. The value engineering proposal eliminated the "Electronics'
Bridge" and replaced the square footage with a three story 25' by 25'
bay at the northwest corner of the existing C-0 building. Outline
specifications have been included in the Title l Report.

Preliminary design has been advanced to substantiate design assumptions
made during the Conceptual Design Phase. This work includes refinement
of plans, sections and elevations, the development of details and
preliminary structural, mechanical and electrical calculations. The
majority of this effort has been focused on the C0 Outfitting Phase l
part of the project.

The C0 Outfitting Phase 1 work scope has been reviewed by the FESS/ Eng.
Construction Managers (Steve Dixon, Elaine McCluskey, Jeff Sims, and
Myself) and the FESS environmental officer (Rod Walton) for ES&H
concerns. No major concerns were identified. The project scope has been
discussed with the ES&H group (Teri Dykhuis) to determine permit
requirements. A preliminary review indicates that no regulatory permits
will be required. Shielding assessment drawing have been prepared and
forwarded to the Accelerators RSO. Ray Lewis of the Accelerator Safety
group has been contacted to provide ODH requirements during
construction.

**Administrative / Project Management**

> Anticipating the start of contract documents for C0 Outfitting Phase l
> to start early January 2005. Project team has been identified.
> Resources are available for this effort.

> Cost and obligation to Aug. 30 is \$180,085 (\$219,952 burdened)

## Project Management (WBS 4) -- M. Lindgren. 

### Overview

The highlight of August was the arrival of our new budget officer,
Suzanne Pasek. Suzanne is already making her presence felt in the
office, picking up the many tasks that the budget officer is responsible
for. In addition the project participated in a Fermilab review of the
BTeV performance management system. In this review, the project
management was reviewed for the compliance of the EVMS against the 32
DOE order 413.3 criteria for project management systems. The project
successfully completed this review, and the closeout report has been the
projects guideline for making corrections and changes to the benefit of
the existing PMS.

# VII. [LEVEL 3 MILESTONES]{.underline}

> There are no project reportable milestones during this period.

VIII\. VARIANCE ANALYSIS -- M. Lindgren

> Variances will be reported after the beginning of the 2005 fiscal
> year.

# COST REPORTS

Cost and earned value reports for the BTeV Project are presented in two
sets, one for Total Estimated Cost (TEC), and a second for Other Project
Costs (OPC). Information for all segments of the project is summarized
at WBS Level 3 except in the case of the OPC CURVE Reports that are at
WBS Level 2 instead. The actual cost of work performed (ACWP) is
comprised of the following: 1) costs collected and reported by the
Fermilab financial system, 2) costs collected and reported to BTeV
Project Management by the collaborating institutions. Since the Italian
collaborating institutions are not required to report their actual costs
to BTeV Project Management, we are assuming that actual current period
costs and cumulative costs are equal to current period earned value and
cumulative earned value, respectively. Each set of cost and earned value
reports includes the following:

######### CPR Format 1A

> This is a modified version of the traditional CPR Format 1 report that
> shows indirect cost for each WBS Level 3 rather than as a single line
> item for the entire project. As a result it is possible to review the
> status of both burdened and unburdened costs for each major system or
> cost component. In addition, the report for the OPC includes a summary
> section at the end, with WBS Level 2 totals for the BTeV Detector and
> Project Support segments of the project.

######### CPR Format 3

> This is the traditional format for reporting changes to the project
> baseline that were approved and implemented in the current reporting
> period, as well as their impact on the time phased project baseline.

######### CURVE Reports

> These graphically depict cumulative Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled
> (BCWS), Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP), and Actual Cost of
> Work Performed (ACWP), at WBS Level 3 and WBS Level 2 for the TEC and
> OPC, respectively. The OPC reports reflect all project costs, and all
> amounts shown are fully burdened.

######### Plan v Act Reports

> These reports compare burdened planned costs (BCWS) with burdened
> actual costs (ACWP) on a cumulative basis through the end of the prior
> fiscal year, and by month for the current fiscal year. There are two
> versions of this report, one for total cost, and a second for labor
> costs only. Both OPC versions represent US Funds only.

######### BTeV Project Obligations

> This report reflects burdened obligations to date, including
> requisitions in progress, for the entire project, as recorded in the
> Fermilab financial system. Consequently, it does not include any
> assumed obligations with respect to work performed by the Italian
> collaborating institutions.
>
> The BTeV project will produce these reports after the CD-2 baseline
> review.
