Diagnostics roadmap and progress
overview
M. Marchevsky (LBNL) and Diagnostics Workgroup
What are the key topics to address
with diagnostics right now?
Performance limits: 
quench and quench precursors
locations in high-field Nb

Latest progress summary
New acoustic system has been successfully tested at LBNL in CCT subscale test yielding some useful event
localization data
Interesting data obtained by FNAL on cable 10-stacks is presently being analyzed
Two summer students are working at FNAL to develop ML models for the 15T acoustic data
LBNL is working on the paper with NERSC on training and event clustering in CCT4 test
Let us discuss progress on training in a dedicated meeting!
Acoustics & training
Fiber-optics
New FBG interrogator has been acquired by FNAL and a another model is being considered by BNL. The
immediate plan is to set up a cryogenic testbed for fiber-optic technology qualification and share experience
and potentially equipment between the labs 
– to be discussed today
Quench antennas
FNAL has developed flexible multi-element quench antennas that is to be used in the CCTs, and is working on
a software aimed at simulating antenna signals for precise event localization 
-  
to be discussed today
LBNL has built several 60-sensor Hall arrays and they are available for HTS studies
LBNL is processing results of recent series of cryogenic FPGA tests and working on a paper 
to be discussed
today
Hall arrays
Cryo-electronics
Diagnostics WG meetings
Bi-weekly, on Fridays at 12.00PM/2PM/3PM  (LBNL/FNAL/BNL)
