Meeting report for ePIC-EIC Roma2, June 5, 2024

Coordination Meeting

General Points:
- A. D'Angelo: updates from the recent CERN visit. The topics concern, among the others, the 3 mm transfer gap thicknesses. The 3 mm ionization gap thicknesses should be replaced with 6 mm for muTPC applications? What are the lightest but reliable materials to be used? How difficult is to assemble the detector in a clean room, keeping the muRwell foil clean? Where should be the detectors assembled (locally or at CERN)? Is it possible to build a quadrant of 50 cm radius, prolonged by 2.5 cm at the two overlapping sides? Is geometrical assumption for the gas frame width of 15 mm reasonable? Is the assumption for 35 mm width for the "service outer ring" reasonable? Do you see any problem to use XY readout strips for a circular geometry? 4-quadrants vs. 2 semi-circles? On which side of the disk should we place the connectors, below or on top the muRwell foil? Which type of connector should we use? Which type of connector should we use? Any preference on gas connectors type and/or size?
- G. Nobili: 20 cables are available.
- R. Ammendola: people who are developing the FELIX board should be called to ask a board for Tor Vergata, Genova and Bologna groups (for dRICH detector). These three groups will converge to these readout boards. The boards will coast 16-18K dollars and will be available within the year.
