Physics Analysis - TDR and Early Science
Salvatore Fazio and Rachel Montgomery
This workfest will focus on status updates from the physics working groups and discussions concerning the strategy for moving forward with the TDR and Early Science Report Studies. We will also continue discussion on synergistic topics for physics analyses, for example systematic uncertainties and handling machine backgrounds.
CALOROC Workfest
Carlos Munoz Camacho and Norbert Novitzky
The first version of the ASIC dedicated to ePIC calorimetry, CALOROC, will be available in early 2026. During the workfest, we will discuss the requirements of the various calorimetry subsystems and explore common readout solutions. We also present the road forward in developing a testing kit for the CALOROC/H2GCROC boards. We will review the status of digitization simulations as well as recent beam-test results.
Exclusive, Diffraction and Tagging PWG Workfest
Stephen Kay and Kong Tu
The exclusive, diffraction and tagging group has recently been working towards a paper on the expected outputs from the working group during the period of early science running. In this workfest, we will review the status of this effort and any new developments on the topics included. We also want to turn a page on our recent efforts towards this paper and the PreTDR slightly by exploring new or previously underexplored topics that fall under the scope of this physics working group.
PID Cross Cutting Working Group Workfest
Brian Page and Sourav Tarafdar
The PID-CC-WG Workfest will focus on synergistic activities between different hardware components of PID subsystems along with status of engineering test articles. Discussions will also involve QA effort for components of all the PID subsystems.
Joint Reconstruction and PID CC WG
Derek Anderson, Shujie Li, Chandradoy Chatterjee, Brian Page and Sourav Tarafdar
This joint Reco WG-PID CCWG workfest focuses on the status of PID Software. Discussion will center on 3 key topics: (1) PID software integration status, (2) algorithmic requirements for performance studies, and (3) context of PID in the broader reconstruction flow. Developing a common data model for PID detectors will be a major point of discussion.
Far-Forward/Pixel AC-LGADs Workfest
Alex Jentsch, Yulia Furletova, Dominique Marchand
The far-forward workfest will cover three primary topics for discussion among all interested parties: 1) current status and plans for electronics development (sensors, ASICs, testing, preparation for potential testbeams, etc.), 2) status and plans for engineering design (cooling, support, motion systems, constraints), and 3) progress on dd4hep (geometry) and on reconstruction in EICrecon, and what needs to still be addresses going forward. The goal is to ensure we have a plan to meet the necessary design requirements for upcoming reviews and to ensure efficient use of available workforce.
Calorimetry Cross-Cutting Working Group
Oleg Tsai and Julie Roche
The Calo-CC-WG Workfest will focus on the calibration requirements and
procedures for the various ePIC calorimetry subsystems.
Streaming Computing Working Group
Taku Gunji and Marco Battaglieri
With active testbeds and functional prototypes now in place, the streaming computing effort is transitioning from design to implementation. These developments aim to define and test the interface between DAQ and computing, and to mitigate risks in the integrated DAQ-computing system. In this session, we will review the status of testbeds and prototypes and discuss next steps.
AI in ePIC
Markus Diefenthaler, Dmitry Kalinkin, Torre Wenaus
In the parallel session, we will summarize the status of AI activities within ePIC and explore how to support the transition from prototypes to solutions that are general, maintainable, and scalable. We will also discuss our strategy for AI readiness for the ePIC detector. Finally, we will consider how to connect ePIC to broader AI initiatives across the community such as the Genesis Mission.
