Our main laboratory Lab 017 is located in the basement of the Physics Building. It is mainly used for detector development, telescope assembly, electronics integration, mechanical work and our group meetings. 

The Lab 017 has three extreme low temperature freezers for testing telescope and their components under conditions similar to those at the South Pole. freezers capable of reaching temperatures down to −80°C.

Our Electronics Workstation is equipped at Lab 017 with digital microscope, complete soldering station, high resolution oscilloscope and supporting electronic test equipments and tools. This space used for electronics development, testing, assembly, and troubleshooting. 

Our computing cluster consists of four compute nodes managed using the Slurm workload manager with Ubuntu Linux OS

CPU Resources

• 4 compute nodes

• 8 × Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors

• 48 physical CPU cores

• 96 hardware threads

GPU Resources : 4 × NVIDIA RTX A4000 GPUs, 16 GB GPU memory per GPU

Storage : ~100 TB RAID storage + ~1 TB local storage per compute node

Hardware RAID managed by a Broadcom/LSI MegaRAID SAS-3 controller

The Laser Lab supports optical measurements and the characterization of detector components. The setup is used for TARGET C and SiPM camera calibration and testing as well as studies of the optical performance and light collection properties of Winston cones.

The Darkroom Test Setup is located inside the Laser Lab. This setup provides a controlled environment for optical characterization and calibration of SiPM cameras. It is primarily used for camera calibration, SiPM response measurements, and controlled light source testing.
