Conveners briefly update with news, comments and new directions from the Steering Committee (if any).
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.
Advice on design, simulation, performance issues
Simulation & performance studies
everything has unit 1
--> there is a spreadsheet that contains the detail
--> detail can be provided in a dedicated sheet (tab)
is testbeam part of R&D or of the project?
--> do R&D costs go in here? it was the case in sPHENIX
--> it is project R&D, it should be up here. detector R&D is on the project
what is the most uncertain part?
--> the GridPix chip, because there is only one provider (Bonn) that knows how to do it
--> Tom would say that FPGA has the largest uncertainty
combine and call it LGADs for TOF
price of sensors based on CMS, pretty accurate
big hadron LGAD for tracking?
was it simulated? what is the space resolution?
can you use same mask, same pixelisation? was this simulated?
if you assume 30 um it can replace GEM (which is 50 um)
large option covers what rapidity?
1.4 ? I think?
the need is between 1-2 where the bulk of particles is below aerogel threshold.
how much would it reduce the surface area? by 10% (only?)
no labor cost yet, needs a couple of weeks
what is the cost difference wrt. GEM?
not fully costed, but there are numbers, not sure how far.
Elke: ~1.5-1.8 million (for hadron endcap)
Gathering DAQ requirements from PID WG
simulation & performance studies, design, cost estimate etc.
R&D on SiPM as an option for the readout of the forward RICH
mechanical studies and simulations for a pressurised argon vessel for the forward gas RICH
R&D on LAPPD detectors must not be forgotten
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.
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.
