This is an old revision of the document!

14002:
Before vault:

• Get pallets from storage (where do we put them? HiRA lab?)
• Organize schedule with facilities to install chamber, TMP
• Organize, assemble, test electronics (e.g. what kind of XLMs will we use?)
• Remove dEs from telescopes
• Test Es and decide on telescope arrangement
• Plan out flange mapping
• Will there be any detectors running at 2 gains like last time?
• Procure an alpha source (does the lab have a new one yet?)

In vault:

• Alignment (Dave Sanderson)
• Install electronics (both Si and Csi), test with pulser
• Clean chamber and get good vacuum
• Flush and install chiller
• Set up HV crate with proper bias mapping (with WU boxes probably)
• Install telescope mount structure
• Install telescopes, cable, hook up cooling carefully
• Retest electronics (Si and CsI) with detectors connected, make sure everything biases properly
• Test setup with alpha source
• Setup targets
• Align targets with telescope

14009:

Before 14002:

• Think about modifications for dE setup
• Test dE PA box (confirm how many PAs we have that work)

After 14002:

• Remove telescopes, install dEs
• Install dEs (maybe test them first, before removing them for 14002?)
• Will we use a HiRA telescope at 0 deg? If so, we need a mount. If not, we need the detectors as well as a mount and proper electronics. Do we need to worry about radiation damage?
• Install mount at 0 deg, associated electronics, and dE electronics/PA box
• Install HiRA telescopes
• Set up DE bias in HV crate
• Test with alpha source
• Make sure Si E and CsI electronics still set up properly
