Today a Wits team from the High-throughput electronics laboratory within the Institute for Collider Particle Physics visited Jemstech. This electronics plant has populated the electronics boards for the first prototype made in South Africa of the Low Voltage Power Supplies (LVPS) for the upgraded Tile Calorimeter of the ATLAS Detector at CERN. The LVPS will power the future on-detector electronics of the Tile Calorimeter that is being designed for the Phase-II upgrade of this detector. South Africa is responsible for the production of over 1000 of these boards, where the PCBs are manufactured in Trax, Cape Town and passed to Jemstech for population.<br />
<br />
The Wits team in charge of the South African production is composed of Edward Nkadimeng, Nkhosiphendule Njara, Thabo Lepota, Ryan McKenzie, Charles Sandrock, Roger van Rensburg and Bruce Mellado.<br />
<br />
The purpose of the visit is to discuss the production of the second and close-to-final prototype of the LVPS. We discussed quality control issues, details of the bill of materials and other components. Discussed the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in the process of quality control assessment.<br />
<br />
Chatted with the Managing Director of Jemstech who was upbeat about his plant. Jemstech delivers commissions for Airbus and will enhance its production capabilities by 600% in July.<br />

We are proud to see Humphry Tlou, one of our South African PhD students, giving a plenary talk at CERN during the ATLAS Week. Humphry, who is currently the Running Coordinator of the Tile Calorimeter of ATLAS, gave a summary of this component of the experiment. Humphry spoke on behalf of the TileCal community. This includes a summary of the maintenance performed on all systems as we are currently in the Long Shutdown 2, work on calibration and performance, and the preparation towards the new software release that will be used during Run 3. Certification of the electronics is performed, where the detector is performing with very low level of masked channels.<br />
<br />
Below are some pictures of Humphry presenting at the main auditorium of CERN.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">We are exhilerated that High Energy Particle Physics has been highlighted for an event of this profile. Prof Yifang Wang, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Director: Institute of High Energy Physics gave an overview of Particle Physics and Astro-Particle Physics, including the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) project. This mega project is envisaged to collide electrons and positrons at a centre of mass energy of around 250 GeV and it is suited to achieve precision in the measurement of Higgs boson couplings to particles in the Standard Model and beyond. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Before the gathering Prof. Tawana Kupe and me had a chance to hang out and chat with a couple of Ministers. We exchanged pleasantries with HE. Minister of Higher Education and Training, Naledi Pandor. She was the Minister of Science and Technology when the Higgs boson discovery was announced. She remembered the press release that was issued on July 4th to congratulate the community on the discovery. We also managed to chat with the HE Minister of Science and Technology Kubayi-Ngubane about the organisation of the event. Also, shook hands with the Director General of the Department of Science and Technology Dr. Phil Mjwara.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">HE President Cyril Ramaphosa Emphasized that South Africa is ready to contribute to technological development and service delivery in that area. Hard choices need to be done as to where and how to invest existing resources. And this is where international cooperation becomes crucial for technology transfer and innovation where the exchange of experience and expertise is necessary. Challenges like climate change can also be met on the basis of international cooperation in science and technology. Large projects like the SKA cannot be undertaken by one nation alone. China’s crucial contribution to the SKA is commended. Joint research centres in critical economic activities like mining and forectry are envisioned. This includes establishing science parks, which will hopefully spur Chinese investment. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: serif , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">On Saturday July 7<sup>th</sup> we kicked off the IEEE NPSS International School for Real Time Systems in Particle Physics 2018. The school is co-sponsodred by the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society and the South Africa - CERN consortium and it is held at iThemba LABS in the Western Cape 7<sup>th</sup>-17<sup>th </sup>2018. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: serif , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Its intention is to give practical experience with developing and controlling mid-range real time experiments. Hands-on experience is very important. The school provides lectures and laboratory exercises, given by experts in radiation measurements with state-of-the-art experience. The lectures introduce firmware, software and web based programming (for remote control), and show how this can be used in different areas of science. In order to minimize the hardware cost Raspberry Pis are used as controllers. This should be an advantage when the students later develop their own systems. The Raspberry Pi operating system is similar to Linux which means that it supports many of the standard Data Acquisition software tools.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Below is a picture of an EasyPet unit, which is manufactured by CAEN. For this exercise we used a radioactive source of Na<sup>22</sup>, a Beta<sup>+</sup>emitter that provides gamma radiation. These sources were produced by iThemba LABS with an activity of approximately 12 </span><span style="font-family: "symbol"; font-size: 13.5pt;">m</span><span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Ci and were sealed in the shape of plastic disks. As an additional precaution keep the sources in plastic zip bags most of the time. Please handle the sources with caution and follow safety rules. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Four EasyPet units were setup and interfaces with laptop computers. A number of exercises were followed. This included settig up the device, investigating SiPM (silicon photo-multiplier) characteristics with a voltage scan, observing single pulses, identifying the multi-photon spectrum, gamma coincidences and PET imaging. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The HEPP workshop is now taking place at STIAS, at Stellenbosch University in the Western Cape. This is the fourth edict in of the HEPP workshop. We have seen a steady increase in the participation of students and senior researchers. Compared to the first edition in 2015 the attendance has increased by about a factor of two. The format of the workshop is such that mornings have lecture style presentations. The afternoons display selected presentations from students or groups of students.<br />

The #4Leaders4Change CEO Sleepout challenge managed to raise
around 19 million by the night of sleepout with the Embassy of Switzerland fundraising
over R217 000 to date. We were given a sleeping bag and cardboard boxes to
sleep on after having donated a blanket, an informal outfit including shoes and
a book. Coffee and soup was available and could be purchased with virtual money
we had to work for by either making sandwiches at the kitchen stalls, taking
selfies at the photo booth or knitting blankets.</div>

The experience has taught me to look at homeless people
differently. When I see a homeless person now, I don’t see a dirty person who
is annoying me for money but someone who spends every night out in the cold
with no food or warm clothes. I barely survived the night while wearing 3
jerseys, 3 pairs of pants and a fire to keep me warm. I definitely have empathy
for the homeless after spending the night out in the cold.<br />
<br />
All the sandwiches made during the night were all given to over a 1000
homeless people together with all the sleeping bags used, clothes and
blankets donated. <br />

Finally, today we managed to connect all the necessary fibre cables from the Demonstrator module to the Trigger and Data Aquisition System (TDAQ) and took some partial data. In the picture below you will see me (Dingane Hlaluku, Wits University) covering up the barrel modules on top of the table at the Prevessin test beam area.</div>

The Table with which the modules are hooked up can be 360 degrees both clockwise and anticlockwise and also laterally to suit the expert's requirements for data taking. This movement can be achieved in 2 ways viz. manually (see picture below) or remotely using python scripts. We have properly setup the positions which will be required for this test beam into the remote control machine as well today so that there will not be a need for shifters to be in the beam area during data taking.</div>

We had certainly few glitches but you can see from the picture attached that we were ready for everything and neither a flat tire could have stopped us today. Moreover, it seems to works pretty well.

The proceedings of the High Energy Particle Physics Workshop that took place at iThemba LABS - North, Johannesburg, February 11th-13th 2015 have just been published in IoP Conference Series on-line. The hard copies will be available soon to speakers, libraries, etc...<br />
<br />
The HEPPW2015 is the first workshop in the country where South African students and young researchers get together to report on their research activities to the community. This includes theory, phenomenology, data analysis and instrumentation in collider physics. An emphasis is made in collider physics with CERN-related activities.<br />
<br />
This workshop bears witness that the field of High Energy Particle Physics in the area of collider physics is getting established in South Africa.<br />

The concrete shielding blocks are removed, providing clear access to the Beam Chamber from the "garage". This is done with the help of a huge mobile crane, manipulated with extreme precision by the operator. Control, lifting and moving of these huge objects has to be seen to be believed!<br />

With the table in place, work could continue with the final checking of the electronics and testing the communications and date transfer. The amount of modules in the racks continued to grow. Connections between the NIM bins, VME crates and dedicated electronic systems multiplied.</div>

A lot of work was also put into the set-up of the workstations for the Shift Workers. The "Shifters", as they are called, are a vital link, keeping an eye on all systems as the beam continues through a 24 hour cycle. Oscar and Roman are part of that team.</div>

The Beam quality is apparently excellent, so the pressure is on to get the best possible results. There are some major issues that need addressing, however data collection has began and the signs are positive for a successful test beam!</div>

The table is currently in an area called the "garage". This area is next to the beam line and shielded from it by huge concrete blocks. This enables the table to be worked on in a safe area shielded from radiation. The table can be seen here parked in the "garage" with the concrete blocks behind it. The cables to the control room can be seen on the right, on a blue support arm, going up over the blocks.<br />

Carlos kicked off proceedings with a summary of progress and the timetable going forward. He also had a slide listing all areas of activity and the collaborations from various institutions. The University of the Witwatersrand was right up there! Carlos also mentioned that he was hugely impressed by the interest shown by young people, all willing to help with the Upgrade. Several of those young people are of course from Wits.<br />

The Extended Barrel was taken from the Caesium calibration area and loaded onto a truck along with the freshly painted placement bracket. Protection of the fibres and detector elements was vital and the heavy plastic coverings can be seen in the picture below. It is now down in the test beam area and mounted on the table. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when it was safely on the table!<br />

Cabling for all the Electronics and Control systems is now in place and most of it has been connected and tested.

The PPR system was also disconnected and taken down to join the rest of the electronics in the 19" control room racks. It needed a box in which to house it. The housing has now been completed by Dean, Oscar and myself, ready for the installation of the electronics boards, optical fibre and other cabling.<br />

The Cooling System for the drawer power supplies has been tested and transported to the Beam Chamber. The mounting brackets for hanging it under the table are being finalised and installation under the table is imminent. The removal of the concrete shielding blocks separating the table "garage" and the beam line is also about to happen. This is good news as we can get parasitic beam to test the systems during next week.</div>

Oscar Kureba (Postdoc) and Charles Sandrock (Chief Technical Manager) of the
Wits school of Physics took part in the expert week organized by the Tile
Calorimeter group of ATLAS at CERN. The main goals of the expert week were: </span></span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Electronics:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Oscar worked on the electronics while Charles was involved in the mechanics side. In a nutshell, it
was a fairly successful expert week as nearly all the goals were met. The
demonstrator tests gave the most impressive results to date. However, more
still needs to be done in fine tuning of the firmware before the upcoming test
beam period (7 – 21 October). Below are some pictures, just to give a feel of the proceedings throughout the said week.</span></div>

There are currently two University of the Witwatersrand members at CERN, Charles Sandrock and Oscar Kureba. Charles is the Chief Technical Manager at the School of Physics and Oscar is a Postdoc. We are shortly to be joined by a third member, Roman Hartman, an MSc Student. Preparations are far advanced for the Beam Run which starts on the 7th October 2015. Most of the background work has been done and the remaining tasks mainly involve the physical placement of the detectors and associated instrumentation in the Beam Line Chamber.<br />
<br />
I will be detailing the work that I am currently involved with and posting some pictures to give an idea of the progress.<br />
<br />
We are building a safety interlock for the motion control of the table on which the detector and associated electronics will be placed. To give an idea of the size of the table here are some photographs.<br />

The interlock is a system of switches, relays, push buttons, status lights, and a siren. To ensure maximum safety there are many redundancies and much duplication of wiring. Control of the motors can be via the Control Room or in the Beam Chamber itself. There are Emergency Stop push buttons on all four corners of the table as well as one in the Control Room. With the size and weight of this table there can be no short-cuts.</div>

The idea is to place an Extended Barrel on top of the existing one. This will have to be moved into place with a harness supported by a mobile hoist. The Harness has just undergone testing.</div>
