        DIRC 3m

        Advice on design, simulation, performance issues

        Speakers: Grzegorz Kalicy (CUA), Joe Schwiening (GSI)
      • 12:08
        mRICH 3m

        Simulation & performance studies

        Speaker: Murad Sarsour (Georgia State University)

        meeting with software experts, still working on mRICH.
        what is remaining is the lens.

        analysis on test-beam data ongoing.
        unfortunately not much on mRICH side.

        Low momentum PID with GridPix 3m
        Speaker: Prakhar Garg (Stony Brook University)

        contacted dd4hep people, given information needed.
        in the meantime being implemented in fun4all.

        Garfiled++ interfaced with Geant4 for more accurate primary ionisation.

        LGADs for TOF-PID 3m

        simulation & performance studies, design, cost estimate etc.

        Speakers: Shuai Yang (Rice University), Prof. Wei Li (Rice University)

        integration conflict with mRICH?

      • 12:29
        SiPM for RICH optical readout 3m

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

      • 12:35
        LAPPD option for photon readout 3m

        R&D on LAPPD detectors must not be forgotten

        Speaker: Silvia Dalla Torre (INFN, Trieste)

      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.
