[Ftk_hardware] [Ftk_physics_wg] Notes from the Argonne FTK workshop

[Antonio Boveia]

I've revised my notes on the November US FTK workshop with corrections from Paola and Mel:

If you are relying on these notes in any way, please take another look.

I find difficult to follow the discussion, however I would like to underly some important points that I am not sure are reported correctly (I understand that you need some written description of the LAMB and AMBoard and now I plan to provide it quickly):
> 
> (1)  from each LAMB 4 road independent serial outputs are provided. Now they go to a single DO and TF (a pipeline is provided for each LAMB on the AUX board), but in principle, if convenient, they could go to 4 independent DOs, and TFs.
> 
> (2) Each LAMB contains 8 pipelines of 4 AMchips, so each of the four LAMB outputs will collect roads from 2 pipelines in parallel, that is 8 AMchips.

> (3) all the numbers you are using are done with the use of just one Don't care bit, but Guido did study also the case of 2 Don;t care bits and we could even go up to 3.
