1. Recap Clamp Install @ 1008 and Production RIKEN/RBRC Itaru Nakagawa 1

2. More Clamps Installed in IR 2 Installed upto 28 clamps to North St.3 and monitored drawing currents for a week. Installed upto 28 clamps to North St.3 and monitored drawing currents for a week. Basically clamps didn’t add much drawing current up to humidity of 60+  %.

3. Input AC pulse from Cathode Action Items from Review (I) 1.AC readout 3 Reported in the June DC meeting In order to see clear difference between connected/unconnected channels, the connection between clamp and GND needs to be modified. Test bench using St-1 test chamber. Clamp channel in contact w/ pad Clamp channel not in contact w/ pad

4. AC Readout 4 HV side GND side HV side GND side DC Voltage Readout AC Voltage ReadoutOne AC readout clamp will be available for test on June 15 th.

5. AC Readout Test @ 1008 5 Input AC Readout AC (connected) Readout AC (not connected) Input AC Difference is 1/3 but it is kind of touchy Difference is 1/3 but it is kind of touchy

6. Plan for AC readout We need to sit down and thoroughly repeat the AC readout measurement @ test bench. Pin down why we pickup AC signal even in non-connected channels. We’ll test AC readout again in 1008 in August. Move on to Production with AC readout design. 6
