## Status Overview: SMT

**Silicon**
**Production**
**DONE**
**South silicon detector (SMT-S)**
**Move & Installation today **
**North silicon (SMT-N)**
**All barrels and disks complete**
**Assembly in support cylinder starting**
**Start cabling before Thanksgiving**
**Ready for DAB at beginning ~ Dec 12**
**H-disks ( need 4)**
**3 H disks ready**
**10% test **
**Continuing to be useful/ learning**
**Sparsification “problems”.**
**Put H disk in**

## Slide 3

## Fiber Tracker Status - Waveguides

**Waveguide Production and QC continue**
**Installation**
**South**
**All installed**
**Replacements done**
**Different fixes tried**
**QC Data on all available ( not perfect, but all light transmissions within 10%)**
**Lesson:  minimize handling of waveguides**
**North Started**
**Installed CPS North & started on CFT**
**First QC data look good**
**QC in real-time with installation**

## Fiber Tracker Status

**VLPC Cassettes**
**Continues**
**Electronics availability a problem**
**WG QC vs. Cassette Charact.**

- Goal (99):  done by Feb 15, 2001

## Status Overview 

**Central Muons (94 PDT’s)**
**Commissioning continues**
**Completing electronics installation**
**Reading out part of each layer + L1 trigger**
**Gas Chromatograph being brought up**
**Forward Muon detectors**
**Installing & reading out part of it**

| Layer | Pixels | MDT’s |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A | North & South:
done |  North & South:
done |
| B | Start in Nov. | Start in Nov. |
| C | North & South: done | North & South: done |

- Trusses (north & south) moving into collision hall this week.

- Installation status

## Status Overview

**Trigger & DAQ**
**Commissioning is still okay, but.....**
**Final hardware arrival is a worry**
**L2 VME-Alpha boards still a concern. NO working board yet.  Now have 25.  ****Not good**
**Three approaches:**
**Fix existing boards @ FNAL, UIC & UoM**
**Another production run ( company visit two weeks ago).  Have parts for 17 boards.**
**New design completely.....**
**L3 board production concern:  vendor visit**
**Technical manpower an issue: Varelas, Johns @FNAL starting December**
**Online**
**In use at low rate, not on critical path**
***Commissioning workshop going on today;  goal is to read out crate of every detector. ***

## Status Overview; Electronics

**Electronics**
**Calorimeter**
**Preamp installation/commissioning underway (10k installed, 12 PS ready, cooling installed)**
**BLS has vendor delays**
**Motherboard: 1250/500/165**
**                 ****need/bare/stuffed**
**Daughter cards 5000/3750/950**
**Daughter card: 300/week vendor (end Jan. 01 complete)**
**CC is cold and filled with liquid**
**Read out 4500 channels last night ( 2 of 4 CC quadrants);  about 10% of all channels**
**Muon**
**Done**

## Tracking Electronics
Si Interface Card
160 pc production order released
15 boards in hand
2 tested so far;  no significant problems
Testing ......  @ KSU and FNAL
Analog Front End boards
Released production start for PCB
Noise with MCM at 30fC, need 5fC
Goal is to release production on Nov 29 and have boards in December
MCM going
Produced 100;  projected rate: 25/day;  Need 1900.
Company wants more money; holding boards hostage;  with Business section;  price increase $70K  
Adapter card 
34 with new design at FNAL 

Power supplies
VICOR current schedule Dec-Jan
Some power supplies coming in earlier ( still January)

- Re-arrange this

## Installation

**Progressing well.**
**Shield wall is down**
**Trusses (north & south) are ready for move into collision hall ****(complete this week)**
**B layer muons to be installed**
**SMT-S going in as we speak**
**Mechanical installation going well**

## Summary

**Concerns**
**NOT Silicon anymore**
**Installation:  lots of activity/m****2****;**** ****are careful**
**Electronics delays are THE concern for realistic commissioning**
**Vendor delays, parts availability**
**Willing to spend $ to fix if possible**
**Trigger falling clearly behind**
