  Weekly news 5m
  
  Conveners briefly update with news, comments and new directions from the Steering Committee (if any).
- 12:05 → 12:53
  Roundtable updates
  
  Updates from the main efforts with details about the progress in the activity. Please, be short and prepare a few (maximum three) slides focusing on what has been achieved since the last meeting.

    DIRC 3m
    
    Minutes
    
    Advice on design, simulation, performance issues
    
    Speaker: Joe Schwiening (GSI)

    is the DIRC layout final?
    readout shifted extremely to the left.
    
    to evaluate B impact, need to know the placement.
    
    there is no decision, need to come up with z and R position of the DIRC.

    mRICH 3m
    
    Minutes
    
    Simulation & performance studies
    
    Speaker: Murad Sarsour (Georgia State University)
    
    has mature G4 simulation of the detector.
    can have flat of projective geometry.
    
    extra 5 cm for projective, would be worth using for performance.
    
    what is the amount of dead area?
    calculation of the acceptance is ongoing
  - 12:11
    
    dRICH 3m
    
    Minutes
    
    working on fun4all, made some progress.
    
    looks like software people want to use dd4hep.
    invite software people and talk to them.

    Low momentum PID at High B-field 3m
    
    Minutes
    
    Speaker: Prakhar Garg (Stony Brook University)
    
    GridPIX_20210524.pdf
    
    confused about geometry.
    what is the geometry?
    
    1 m along z
    25-50 cm in R
    
    how many samples? one every 55 um.
    have you tried to reproduce measurements?
    7% based on test-beam results, best case (4%) based on simple counting statistics.
  - 12:17
    
    Low momentum PID with TOF 3m
    
    Minutes
    
    Speaker: Wenqing Fan

    uncertainty in the path length from MS?
  - 12:20
    
    B field impact on forward RICH 3m
    
    Minutes
    
    Speaker: Chandradoy Chatterjee (INFN Trieste (IT))

    can we give an upper limit to what is tolerable?
  - 12:23
    
    DAQ 3m
    
    Gathering DAQ requirements from PID WG
    
    Speaker: Alexandre Camsonne (JLAB)
  - 12:26
    
    LGADs for TOF-PID 3m
    
    simulation & performance studies, design, cost estimate etc.
    
    Speaker: Prof. Wei Li (Rice University)
  - 12:29
    
    SiPM for RICH optical readout 3m
    
    R&D on SiPM as an option for the readout of the forward RICH
    
    Speaker: Roberto Preghenella (INFN Bologna)

    LAPPD option for photon readout 3m
    
    R&D on LAPPD detectors must not be forgotten

  Presentations
  
  This is time devoted to a longer discussion with a presentation of work done or to be done, if there is any and if there is the need for that.
- 12:55 → 13:00
  
  AoB 5m
  
  In case there is any other business to discuss, we can take it here. If discussion takes longer than 5 minutes, it means that it needs a proper space and will be point for next week.
