Overview of Detector Systems Resources

This page contains a running list of answers to frequently asked questions, notes, and records of decision associated with the EIC Systems Engineering group. The data in this section is managed by Walt Akers and Joel Watkins at Jefferson Lab.

Detector Requirements

This section contains the current sub-system dictionary for the EIC, as well as the requirements that are specific to the Detector sub-system. The most recent, approved version of all of these records is maintained in the Visure database. Contact Joel Watkins at Jefferson Lab for details.

Sub-Systems Dictionary

Sub-Systems Dictionary
This table contains an annotated list of EIC sub-systems that includes their unique identifiers and a description of the sub-system. The sub-system identifiers provided here form the basis for the identifiers that are used in both the requirements documents and the interface definitions. The document is maintained by Walt Akers at Jefferson Lab.

Requirements

General, functional and performance requirements for the EIC systems.

Detector System Requirements
General, functional and performance requirements associated with the Detector Systems of the Electron Ion Collider. The document is maintained by the EIC Systems Engineering Group.

Detector Interfaces

This section contains the current release of sub-system definitions, system requirements and system interfaces for the EIC project. The most recent, approved version of all of these records is maintained in the Visure database. Contact Joel Watkins at Jefferson Lab for details.

Quality Assurance Guidance and Templates

QualityAssurancePlanning.pdf
This document contains a presentation that describes the heirarchy of documents that will be collected as part of the Detector sub-system's Quality Assurance program and how they are organized. This material is maintained by Walt Akers at Jefferson Lab.
Detector-6.10-QualityControlPlan.pdf
This is the current overarching document that describes the Quality Assurance/Control expectations for all major sub-systems within the Detector. This serves as the top level Quality Control document for all Detector systems, and is referenced by the Individual Control Plans and Inspection and Test Plans. This material is maintained by Walt Akers at Jefferson Lab.
WBS-6.10.04.03-IQCP.pdf
Example auto-generated Individual Quality Control Plan, based on the Detector's Particle Identification Detector (PID) sub-system.
ITPTemplate.dotx
This document is a rudimentary template for producting and Inspection and Test Plan that is specific to an individual sub-system or component. The template provides a framework that assists the user in providing all pertinent information. This template is maintained by Walt Akers at Jefferson Lab.

Detector Geometry

This page contains matrices providing a description of the volumetric envelope for all of the sub-detectors, a description of their technology, their estimated weights, and additional configuration notes for the detector, as well as the forward and backward interaction regions. Requests for revisions or updates to the detector matrix should be submitted to Tanja Horn. Revisions or updates to the forward and backward interaction regions should be submitted to Yulia Furletova.

The Detector Menagerie

The detector menagerie contains a collection of dynamic components that can be used with the Trimble Sketchup modeling system to create integrated models of the detector systems. The page provides the newest models, as well as archived versions of older models and dynamic components that were developed throughout the project. In addition to models, the page contains Sketchup plugins, quick reference guides, instructional videos, animations and many of the CAD/STEP files that were the foundations for the models. The page is maintained by Walt Akers of Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.
