Detector roundtable:
Zero-Degree Calorimeter
Yuji:
- Japan funding agency discussing possible in-kind contribution for ZDC.
- Korean group was originally interested in HCAL, now pivoting toward developing a case for ZDC upgrade with W/Si EMCAL.
- Elke: Please contact me and Rolf to discuss this.
Miguel:
- In-touch with U. Regina group to work on simulations.
- Alex: please ensure the focus is on the refinement of the case for the crystal EMCAL.
- How will shorter crystals (10cm) impact shower information for photons hitting the full ZDC (need imaging information from SiPM-on-Tile)?
- Can SiPM-on-Tile have sensitivity to low-E (100 MeV) photons?
B0 detectors
Alex:
- Work in-progress to optimize the layout of the tracking system w.r.t. to crystal system. Need the tracking layers to be more toward the center of the magnet to improve resolution.
Zvi:
- Engineer at Ben Gurien working on understanding consequences of moving the crystals further back in z within the B0. 15cm seems to not have a major impact on the crystals + overlaps. Simulations of tracker with that shift underway.
Roman pots and OMD
Alex:
- EICROC0 still has issues with ADC information and reading out multiple channels at the same time. Given the present issues, a test beam in June seems very premature - not likely to be very useful for EICROC0 testing right now until these issues are resolved.
- Version 0 of the new beam pipe + exit window in DD4HEP and under software review. Will be merged in-time for the April simulation campaign.
