paper out on irradiated AC-LGADs from last year: https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.16658
We did another round of irradiation with neutrons on some AC-LGADs but at extreme fluence, plus another irradiation campaign with protons on the large AC-LGADs that should be ready soonish.

Dear DSLs, dear El/R-O/DAQ WG conveners,

 at the TIC meeting on February 23rd we had a kick-off of

the detector studies for the challenges posed by the background.
For you convenience, here is a direct link to the slides presented on
February 23rd:
https://indico.bnl.gov/event/31599/contributions/120324/attachments/68421/117639/TIC_20260223.pdf

Following the kick-off, you are invited to report on the progress of
your studies by presenting a few slides
(a couple of slides can be enough) at the TIC meetings on March 30th and
April 13th
according to the calendar here below.

March 30th:

El/R-O/DAQ WG
FF
Low Q^2 taggers
Luminosity system
SVT
MPGDs

April 13:

EEEMCAL
BIC
FEMCAL
nHCAL
Barrel HCAL
LFHCAL

You are requested to kindly confirm your contribution. Thank you.

As anticipated, PID DSCs will attack the studies as soon as the
dedicated reconstruction
is sufficiently advanced and they are requested to focus on speeding up
the development of the
software tools for this reconstruction.

Best greetings, Silvia

20:20 → 20:40 NIMA special issue: "The ePIC Detector and Science Program at the Electron Ion Collider"

A shorter version of preTDR?

Dear DSLs,

  the submission of papers to the NIMA special issue

"The ePIC Detector and Science Program at the Electron Ion Collider"
is opening on March 15th.

The DSC contributions are expected to be a substantial component of the effort.
Please, discuss the matter within your DSCs and prepare 1 slide that presents
the paper-planning of your DSC. Send me these slides by April 10th.

At the TIC meeting on April 20th we will analyze and comment together
about the merging planning.

Thank you for your kind collaboration,
Silvia
