This page will have information about the repairs, tests, and upgrades of HyCal that are necessary for the running of PRad II, the Hidden Sector Search experiment, and the π 0 Transverse Form Factor experiment.
Cable Upgrades in Hall B
As a part of the HyCal upgrades, the cables that attach to the computing crates needed to be changed to LEMO connectors for use in the Flash Analog-to-Digital Converters (FADC) boards that will be used in the crates for the upcoming experiments. These cables need to be removed from their original boards and refitted with the proper end connectors. Following this, each of the cables needed to be tested and fixed if there were any issues. This was done by utilizing a modified 32-pin connector at the end that will lead to HyCal that completed the circuit between cables that were opposite one another. These linked cable then had a voltage of 5V sent through them to see if there were any issues in carrying the signal. In total there were 60 bundles of 32, 27, and 25 cables to test.
