Proton Calorimetry/Meetings/2026/04/15

Minutes for UCL Proton Beam Therapy Group Meetings, 15th April

Joe Bateman, Febian, Andreas Korn (via Teams), ''Raffaella Radogna (via Teams), Simon Jolly

In touch with INFN in regards to new project on PMBT detectors/dosimetry - potential to include QuADProBe and adapting detector layout for SFRT?

Completed first steps of setting up NI USB-6366 by writing VI setting different frequencies out of different pins and verifying with scope - however limited to 1 MHz using USB-6366 alone.
For next steps when attempting to communicate with S17825's - will need to use a zibo or nexus FPGA with Febian and Raffy's help (by modifying firmware from analogue photodiode arrays) to generate clock pulse for MCLK (14 - 32 MHz).
Simon will draft out initial points for UCL I&E Knowledge Exchange grant and then send over.
New DDC232 have arrived - so need to test with Febian.

Installed apache etc onto Kria
Maybe receiving some firmware from Andy on readback pattern for kria, but can look at doing with testing signals initially.

Sorting out QuARC patent IP with UCLB etc
Preparations for two internal UCL grants (I&E Knowledge Exchange and early-stage commercialisation grants) as well as STFC UKRI proof-of-concept grant.
