Notes: * Large eta task force results will be known in June 2015. * No LAPP ITk Pixels meeting next Monday, the 17th (too many meetings next week) * No LAPP ITk Pixels meeting Monday 24th (Physicists are in Puy-en-Velay) * Next Monday meeting will be the 1st of December. Pierre: * Meeting to prepare meetings on Friday 14th, 9:30 to 10:30 Salle des Fourmis * LPSC meeting 17th 09:00 video in Salle des Choucas. * 19th 10:00 meeting with CPPM+LPSC, mechanics. * 20th 14:00 meeting with Geneva. * LAPP expressed interest in serrvices (experience from local cooling connectors for IBL, ...) Nicolas G.: * First support ring arriving this week. Should be tested at CERN for eighen frequencies and compared with simulation. * Caracterisation of the carbon fiber stave tested by a private company. * All tests will give valuable input to the ABACCUS simulation. Nicolas M.: * Services will be started from current Pixel services and extrapolated to ITk. * Talks at the upgrade week on DCS and Local services. * LAPP interested on local services, depending if we have the manpower. Sebastien: * Talk by Mexico people at upgrade week on stave flexes. Tests of 800 cm flex at high data rates. * FlexConnect 10k euros of raw material for a prototype. * Data rate should be known at better than a factor 3 or 4! Should contact an expert. Marlon from CPPM, there might be also one in Jussieu. * Questions: - All labs are working on multiplexing front end. Is that really what we want? Or do we need serializing? Tio be discussed in module or genral design meetings. - Needs 2 flexes if multiplexed. Reference plane with power supplies OR grounds? - Module/Flex mechanical issues. Andre: * Module session from upgrade week. - RD53 working on larger chips. Liverpool will be producing quad chip sensors. Some of them available for Alpine. - LBNL * Bonn building serial powering prototype and mentionned the Alpine demonstrator. - Report on last ITk testbeam at H6 SPS with telescope. * Possibility to ask for 2 weeks testbeam until the 15th of November. Or we can get beam time during the ITk testbeam behind the telescope with deteriorated resolution. Testbeam all year, H8 in parasitic mode.
