Pulsar Teststand Room-- Pulsar was initially designed as a teststand tool

In God we trust, everything else we test

Ted for the Pulsar Group(s)

With Pulsar upgrades finishing up, it’s time to take good care of our teststand room…

Have you been to the Pulsar Teststand Room lately? Go take a look …

In the past 4 years, Pulsar has been used

for many different applications. On CDF, so far, about 24 different types (not including the ones still in proposals).

All came out from the Teststand Room… over 4 years, > 24 young people

worked in the Pulsar teststand room. Best initial training ground for young people

challenge: keeping the room clean and organized

Have you ever seen this teststand room so clean before?

The L2CAL upgrade is done when this bottle is opened… --> so far, the project has been under the beer pressure

And where are the spare parts?

Two young heroes (from Pisa) hiding in the Pulsar Teststand Room--> working with Laura and others, they have been carefully testing ALL the hardware pieces for the L2CAL upgrade in the past > half

year.And they have done an excellent job cleaning up the teststand room!

Virginia will move back to Pisa this Sunday…Thank you,Virginia, for your excellent work in the past

half year. We will all miss you. Please come back!
