This document outlines how the ACC central card firmware interprets signals from the C++ "run-acdc" program. Specifically, it outlines where in the firmware (and how) the functions "Software trigger", "Align LVDS", "CC Read Mode", "Prepare Sync", and "Hardware reset" are...
Report from the summer 2017 REU, working with the PSEC group. Two recipes for the `Margherita Cookbook' are attached.
A report describing the testing of an ANNIE central card based PSEC4 readout system. Includes recipes on how to work with the ACDC and ACC boards.
Recipes for running test cycles to verify that the Margherita 2 is a fully operational LAPPD facility.
Recipes for installing a cesium transport system and internal tile fixturing for the Margherita 2, a large-area picosecond photodetector production facility.
Final report from Benjamin Lunday, summer student 2017.

We report pilot production and advanced development performance results achieved for Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors (LAPPD TM).
We report a cost-effective and production achievable path to fabricate robust large-area microchannel plates (MCPs), which offers the new prospect for larger area MCP-based detector technologies. We used atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), a thin film growth technique, to independently adjust...
First submission to NIMA of the Capacitive Coupling paper. Discusses the capacitive anode/pickup configuration of the Gen-II ceramic tile, which uses the "Inside-Out" scheme.
