SCAB Nominations for Speakers
• It’s time once again for the twice yearly update of nominations for the ATLAS
speakers for conferences.
– Require names and priority ranking, from 1 (deserves a talk very much, outstanding
contribution to the project in the last year) to 5. Usually we rank people 1-3.
– People who stopped being actively involved: Will not update the nominations, priority will
automatically go down by 1 every round
• List of nominations from May 2014 is attached to the agenda
• Please have a look and send me updated suggestions, and especially names of
people newly to be added – by end of next week

NSW Week: Decisions and Action Items
Summary of Decisions or quasi-decisions:
1.
Number of B-field sensors:
– converged to 64 sensors per side.
– AI: exact positions to be defined and integrated into layout/drawings
2.
Temperature Sensors:
–
Have a baseline inventory on needed sensors – indicate either 1 or 2 ELMBs per
sector needed (exact numbers as long as within max. of ELMB can be defined a bit
later together with sensor positions)
– AI: NIKHEF and Alignment team to compare cost and space requirements of
electronics if a) 2 ELMBs/sector or b) additional T-sensors for deformation read by
LWDAQ. (Gerian, Christoph, Jim)
3.
NSW Grounding strategy and architecture --- Document from GNDing WG
approved in the meeting, AI: 1. Clarification on MM FEB analog GND 2. How to
ensure commitment of all stakeholders to adhere to it ?
