The Gerald Przybylski website will evolve with the projects that present themselves.

General Engineering Pages

• Mentor X-Server Setup
  

For Daya BAY

• Since the fall of 2007... general electrical engineering
• Circuit Design and simulation for analog front-end subsystems
• Prototype Printed Circuit board design and layout for photomultiplier tube bases
• Prototyping of LED pulser using a derivative of the Kapustinsky regenerative BJT pulser design
• Design of multi-port pulser control subsystem for photomultiplier testing.

For AMANDA -

• In January 1997, took two digital optical modules developed by the Jet Propulsion Lab to the south pole, did final checks, and participated in the deployment.

Unfortunately not much  postable material survived... Successes, however, inspired the construction and deployment of a whole string of DOMs, AMANDA string 18
• LED Calibration flashers
• Digital Optical Modules for AMANDA string 18
• 
  

For IceCube

• DOM,  The Digital Optical Module development project
• DOMHub, the Counting house terminus of an IceCube string.
  
• DSB, the DOM Hub Service Board
  
• MC, The Master Clock unit development project
  
• EPXA Support Group...
• Crystal Oscillator Evaluation
• Digital Optical Module Work In Progress
  
• Supporting Two DOMs per twisted pair
• (Jan 2001) Four Channel proto DOM Hub
• (May 2001) DOM PMT Base draft requirements
• (Jan 2001) Digital data communications detector
  

For KAMLAND

• Two different layouts of a light emitting diode light pulser for KAMLAND calibration

The first style of flasher, for Keven Lesko, is a permanently installed part of the calibration system.
The second style of flasher, for Herb Steiner, is to be deployed at the end of a source rod dipped into the middle of the detector working fluid.

For NESTOR

• An prototype layout for the NESTOR 'floor board', and a revised layout for the NESTOR 'floor board'

For the Spalation Neutron Source

• Collaborated with Larry Doolittle, and Jozsef Ludvig on testing, and perhaps, a future layout revision of the "IP-Board" for the SNS system.

In the past, significant contributions were made by Jozsef Ludvig.
