EEEMCAL MEETING - 17 MAY 2021
PARTICIPANTS: Vladimir, Bruno, Carlos, Crytur USA, Miroslav, Gabriel, Hamlet, Hrachya, Nathaly, Pete, Petr, Renee, Richard, Tanja, Rosi, Sasha, Douglas, Cristiano, Lei, Michael
MEETING UPDATES
- EIC@IP6 update (Vladimir)
- Presented EEEMCal and possible contributions
- Comments/questions from EIC@IP6 group:
- reference technology for outer EEEMCal
- need to pay attention to calibration and monitoring strategy for keeping high precision constant term in the long run - c.f. PANDA EMCal
- Calorimeter WG meetings will start this week
- ECCE Update
- Calorimeter WG will meet Tuesdays 8-10am ET
SIMULATION UPDATES
- EEEMCal Fun4All implementation (Carlos)
- Hybdrid implemented - work ongoing on clustering
- Homogeneous barrel EMCal (Nathaly)
- Implementation of the barrel homogeneous EMCal starting from a cylinder that will be segmented and given a suitable depth etc.
- Currently investigating hits from Geant4
- Another option: received a segmented model of the PANDA EMCal - more complex geometry than needed fro EIC - keep as backup option for now
- Ongoing and planned studies:
- Vardan and AANL team
- Renee: e/pi separation
- Gabriel and team
- Cristiano: detector design optimization AI supported
- EIC simulation frameworks for EEEMCal:
- Fun4All for near term investigations that do not need a specific framework, e.g., e/pi separation studies, etc.
- DD4HEP for longer term - requires building structure from ground up - more detail from EIC SWG
- Standalone simulations for investigations that do not require the details of other detectors/materials etc.
- ESCALATE for AI supported detector design optimizations that do not depend on the simulations framework
- Action item:
- review list of simulation open tasks and add/edit
- add contacts on simulations Wiki page
PROTOTYPE BEAM TESTS
- Jefferson Lab (Tanja)
- start scheduled for August 24th and run will until mid-December 2021
- EEEMCal runs are expected end of September for three weeks and mid-November until the end of the run
- Currently JLab still in Medcon5: currently no new users admitted for beam tests - stay tuned for status changes during summer/fall
- DESY (Douglas)
- Program is running - new requests for beam tests accepted for the fall
- Request has been submitted for November 2021 (2 weeks)
SIPM+PWO DETECTOR
(Irina, Olivier, Bruno)
- Discussion of questions on specifications
- Energy resolution - does it include general readout characteristics? - here, assumed PMT
- Collision rate is ~0.5 MHz, but rate per channel is smaller (~100 kHz) - synchronous: can assume that either have event or not
- Pulse shape - send more information on HallD trigger system (fADC, gates, etc.)
- Simulation framework
- Very interesting for simulating configurations and optimize before test bench and beam measurements
- How to include beam test data in the simulation?
- Action items:
- Get additional clarifications on pulse shape
- Make SiPM+PWO model
- Point of contact assignment (for now): Tanja Horn
VISUALIZATION OF EEEMCAL
- Visualization tool introduced
- Some work remains to be done with global detector(s) configuration to finalize outer dimensions of EEEMCal, e.g., orientation of DIRC
- Once outer dimensions are finalized EEEMCal team will start design of EEEMCal details
NEXT MEETING: MONDAY 7 JUNE AT 8:30AM ET
