Biennial Report 2005-2007 - Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics

8 Facilities8.1 Electronics Workshop FacilityWorks on Human Resource DevelopmentSenior engineering (Electronics, Electrical and Instrumentation) students often request the Director-SINP for vocational training and a large number of students have been trained since the inceptionof EWF. Several students from different engineering colleges have been trained during 2005-2007,and some of them have completed small design works including fabrication and testing of the units.The staff members of EWFWorks done for the Muon Arm Project [MAP]The details of developmental, fabrication and installation works related to MAP are indicatedelsewhere in the Annual Report, and the following are some major works done mainly by the staffof EWF:•Development of Exit board PCBs including layout design using Protel DXP CAD, supervisionduring fabrication at a factory in Hyderabad, testing and validation of assembled PCBs and correctionof all faults caused during fabrication, assembling and transportation to CERN, Geneva.•Fabrication of 2.5 Volts & 3.3 Volts PSU for testing and validating exit boards with pre-productionMANU-cards fixed on them.•Fabrication of preamplifier and associated circuits planned to be used in wire tension monitor.•Fabrication of PCBs used as Dummy Bridge boards for internal connection of fragmented exitboards.•Fabrication and assembling of components in Low Voltage Boxes for connecting power cables tothe muon detectors, and other several associated jobs related to fabrication of muon detectors.•Fabrication and assembling of Low Voltage BUS [LVBUS] bars for ten numbers of muon detectors.•Developing data base for sorting of the test report of 2500 numbers MANU cards, and sorting ofreceived MANU cards according to the gain spread.•Assisting the MAP-team during validation and installation of detectors in Station 2 of ALICE[CERN, Geneva].The staff member of EWF and some member of the MAP-team275
