* Redesign of Heidelberg fibre frontend PCB board to accommodate for only 2 PD arrays instead of 5.  
 
* Source necessary Max10 board, and appropriate firmware (from Heidelberg if made open source) for it and figure put how much needs to be altered. i.e. whether worth buying max10 and exactly replicating or work towards using alternative FPGA?
* Investigate from Heidelberg SciFi readout setup and HSMC pin configurations what each of the signals do and how they get inputted in to the FPGA (on one end) and ADCs (on the other).
* Have backup electronics readout for Trento beam test in autumn, i.e. can we borrow any from Heidelberg if we haven't got one replicated in time.
* Hamamatsu making S17285-128G digital readout photodiode arrays with samples expected to be ready in September 2025.
* Find out whether it is possible to use zmod board approach to interface between ADC to FPGA rather than using HSMC as Heidelberg are currently doing.  
* Do a comparison and between the two PD array options: S11865-128 (analogue readout) and S17285-128G (digital readout). Work out which has the better dynamic range and requires the most FPGA signals to control.
* If opting for analogue PD arrays: A redesign of Heidelberg fibre frontend ADC PCB board is necessary to accommodate for only 2 PD arrays instead of 5 and to connect to the Kria-based DAQ rather than the Max10 FPGA. Will need to discuss with someone from heidelberg to better understand their ADC design and schematics.  
* Understand Raffy's fibre readout for Trento beam test (will discus when she visits in September)

To Do

MC Simulations

Dose Reconstruction

  • If looking to use FRED - need to get installed on Plus1 or over Hypatia cluster for GPU processing capabilities (need training in Hypatia cluster first)

QuARC & QuADProBe Geant4 Simulations

  • Get QuARC G4 simulation working with most recent G4 and have PD sized scoring area.
  • Start looking at QuADProBe fibre simulation.

Fibres

  • Investigate from Heidelberg SciFi readout setup and HSMC pin configurations what each of the signals do and how they get inputted in to the FPGA (on one end) and ADCs (on the other).
  • Hamamatsu making S17285-128G digital readout photodiode arrays with samples expected to be ready in September 2025.
  • Do a comparison and between the two PD array options: S11865-128 (analogue readout) and S17285-128G (digital readout). Work out which has the better dynamic range and requires the most FPGA signals to control.
  • If opting for analogue PD arrays: A redesign of Heidelberg fibre frontend ADC PCB board is necessary to accommodate for only 2 PD arrays instead of 5 and to connect to the Kria-based DAQ rather than the Max10 FPGA. Will need to discuss with someone from heidelberg to better understand their ADC design and schematics.
  • Understand Raffy's fibre readout for Trento beam test (will discus when she visits in September)

QuARC

  • Learn from Sonia how to operate the QuARC and diagnose any hardware and software issues ahead of Trento beam test in September.

Conference Abstracts

Conference Talks

Papers

  • Awaiting review from QuADProBE v1 PSQA Frontiers paper.

Completed

MC Simulations

Dose Reconstruction

  • TOPAS Simulations fully working on cluster and used to reconstruct 3D dose distributions from QuADProBe UCLH Beam Test 2024 for frontiers paper.
  • FRED-MC working on old MacBook Air (2020) intel processor and matches TOPAS simulations. Doesn't run on new MacBook Pro as not compatible with apple silicon.

QuARC & QuADProBe Geant4 Simulations

  • Saads QuARC G4 simulation working and added scoring onto left and right sides

Fibres

  • Had two meetings with Blake Leverington and Julian Horne from Heidelberg on replicating/adapting the design of the frontend readout system of their fibre array monitor.
  • Have so far received assembly drawings, technical description booklet, schematics and slides.

Conference Abstracts

Conference Talks

  • Talk given at PPRIG 03/05

Papers

  • Submitted QuADProBe PSQA paper for Frontiers in Oncology special edition: Technology Developments in Proton Therapy.
