Bessel Filter (1) (for Matteo Maino) We have modified a few channels of a prototype Bessel board with new cutoff frequencies of 15 Hz, 35 Hz, 100 Hz and 120 Hz, from the historical 8 Hz, 12 Hz, 16 Hz and 20 Hz. The reason is that 16 Hz and 20 Hz have never been used in the past and 8 Hz and 12 Hz have been shown to limit the signal bandwidth in some way. The new pair at 15 Hz and 35 Hz would fit better the signals from the detectors of CUORE, while 100 Hz and 120 Hz would allow to explore larger bandwidth in case the detectors are operated very close to the inversion point, or at larger temperatures. In addition the pair at 100 Hz and 120 Hz does not limit at all the detector signals, allowing pulse shape analysis for background rejection. GS, 19 April 2013 7
Bessel Filter (2) (for Matteo Maino) Another important modification has been introduced. Now the filter has unitary its voltage gain (2 V/V was the previous pedestal). This modification makes the filter not influencing the value of the amplification chain, which, in this way, does depends only on the PGA setting on the front-end board. As an instance, the load curve characterization at large bias will benefit from this by doubling the available range. We have modified some channels to test this new functionalities with positive results. Transfer function between the filter output and the input for all the cutoff frequencies GS, 19 April 2013 8
Bessel Filter (3) (for Matteo Maino) The new settings of the Bessel filters we are proposing are intended to improve and help the DAQ system of the CUORE experiment and we hope that they will be approved. The intention is to test the new set-up of the filter with CUORE-0. First with a few channels and then, if validated, with the rest of the detector channels. A board with twelve channels with new cutoff frequencies is ready and can be used in CUORE-0 at any time. Additional boards will be ready soon, from USC. Ready for production at USC, also for components procurements GS, 19 April 2013 9

Schedule (1) Bessel Filter: It was pending the final population of the boards, waiting for the frequency tuning from CUORE-0. Due to the delay me based the evaluation on the CCVR experience in hall C the last December. Re-scheduling: GS, 19 April 2013 22
Schedule (2) MAINBOARD: The prototype to production was given a too short period (only 2 months for production, population and debugging). A more appropriate time is 7 months which means 1/13. Rescheduling: GS, 19 April 2013 23
Schedule (3) DC/DC converter: It is with USC with proper time. It is waiting only for a few tuning parameters, but is not critical (take care: this item cannot be tested at UCLA unless they procure instrumentation). Re-scheduling: GS, 19 April 2013 24
Schedule (4) Linear power supply Design almost completed (not critical, we need 30 power supplies boards) (take care: this item cannot be tested at UCLA unless they procure instrumentation). Re-scheduling: GS, 19 April 2013 25

Schedule (6) Glue boards: Layout pending (not critical, we need less than 10 boards). Re-scheduling: GS, 19 April 2013 27
