PARTICIPANTS: Hamlet, Tanja, Gabriel, Carlos, Cristiano, Rosi, Douglas, Admin, Renee, Hrachya, Lei, Vardan, Richard, Miroslav
JMU INTRODUCTION (Gabriel Niculescu)
- Large undergrad serving institution
- Long track record in hadron physics
- Expertise: simulations, designing, building, and testing detectors and detector components (PMTs mostly)
UPDATES FROM ECCE, EICIP6, IR2, CORE, etc.
- CORE (Carlos)
- aiming for large area PWO coverage - endcap plus some of barrel
- ECCE SIMULATIONS MEETING (Rosi)
- Kick off meeting to get people up and running on Fun4All
- Action:
- EEEMCal needs to be implemented in Fun4All - Orsay team has started initial investigation
- EIC@IP6 INSTITUTIONAL BOARD (All)
- Starting to assemble institutional board
- Will have frequent meetings
- Actions:
- EEEMCal nominate a calorimeter convener
- Institutional board meeting representative for EEEMCal: Renee
- Fill out spreadsheet: check RECAL, under hardware interests: "EM Calorimeter (EEEMCAL)"
- SUPPORT STRUCTURE (Tanja)
- Invited to a meeting on 3D model/visualization of detector organized by the project. The general aim to define outer structures for the electron endcap calorimeter (support/mounting points, integration with DIRC readout)
- Josh Crafts (student/tech at CUA) presented the CAD model of the Hall D FCAL as a possible starting point for the electron endcap calorimeter support structure
- Action:
- check on EEEMCAL participation in future 3D model/visualization meetings
- SIMULATIONS (Cristiano)
- Implementation of EEEMCAL in simulations ongoing or complete (ESCALATE, FUN4ALL)
- Optimization implemented in Escalate - on top of the simulation - that pipeline is basically ready
- PROTOTYPE TESTS (Douglas, Tanja)
- JLab tests expected starting August 23 and running into December 2021 (8 weeks + 7.5 weeks) - EEEMCAL anticipated to run ~3 weeks in the first period and ~4 weeks in the second period
Period 1: mRICH + GEMTRD/MPGD EEEMCal1 + GEMTRD/MPGD OTRFT + GEMTRD/MPGD Period 2: OTRFT + GEMTRD/MPGD EEEMCal2 (+ GEMTRD/MPGD pending further discussions) EEEMCal3/TPEX 5x5
- DESY tests being planned for fall 2021 - expect ~2 weeks EEEMCal tests (streaming readout - test different boards)
- Workshop on streaming readout at end of April
- Discussion Research outline (all)
- Action:
- each group look over and tweak as needed
- Add paragraph at the end to make clear that aware of proposal initiatives and how EEEMCal would fit into each; engagement in these detector proposals
NEXT MEETING: MONDAY 19 APRIL AT 8:30AM ET
