      Weekly news

      Conveners briefly update with news, comments and new directions from the Steering Committee (if any).

    • 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

        Advice on design, simulation, performance issues

        Speakers: Grzegorz Kalicy (CUA), Joe Schwiening (GSI)

        mRICH

        Simulation & performance studies

        Speaker: Murad Sarsour (Georgia State University)

        very important to know momentum and direction of tracks.
        nice to see what to expect there from tracking.

        ask to setup a meeting with tracking group.

        try to change number of detected photons

        requirement for e/pi separation at 25 GeV, there is idea to have TRD and combined response.

        another field map is coming

        DAQ

        Gathering DAQ requirements from PID WG

        Speaker: Alexandre Camsonne (JLAB)

        LGADs for TOF-PID

        simulation & performance studies, design, cost estimate etc.

        Speaker: Prof. Wei Li (Rice University)

        no news

        SiPM for RICH optical readout

        R&D on SiPM as an option for the readout of the forward RICH

        Speaker: Roberto Preghenella (INFN Bologna)

        no news

        Pressurised argon for the gaseous RICH

        mechanical studies and simulations for a pressurised argon vessel for the forward gas RICH

        ATHENA-PID_20210531_vessel.pptx

        Elke: if we want to have high-pressure RICH, need to talk now to safety experts... very demanding rules.
        Elke will find out who is the best person at BNL and JLab, and then a meeting is organised.

        Starting name: Mike Sieverts

        LAPPD option for photon readout

        R&D on LAPPD detectors must not be forgotten

        Speaker: Silvia Dalla Torre (INFN, Trieste)

        no update.
        it will be like that for some time.

        there is test-beam effort at Fermilab.
        Alexander Kiselev is the head, coupled with mRICH
         

    • 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.

      AoB

      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.
