General EEEMCal Meeting Summary 1/26/24
PARTICIPANTS: Vardan, Pete, Richard, Mirek, Justin, Carlos, Casey, Dmitry, Hamlet, Douglas, Hrachya, Sasha, Michael, Tanja, Irina, Renee, Philip, Patrick Moran,
DESIGN/ENGINEERING
- Work ongoing on prototype
READOUT/ELECTRONICS
- Order in for SiPMs 10um, 15um, and different device sizes
- Larry I. made drawings for 2x2 matrices based on the earlier 3x3 matrices made by Steve Titus for the prototypes at JLab
- Irradiation preparations
- Discussions with UC Riverside
- Follow up with UMass/Lowell - requires investment of ~$4k for one irradiation
- Follow up with Giessen U. - parasitic test and will be done by the group when possible
- Test bench tests with SiPMs and/or tests with beam - need to develop a concrete plan for this including goals and how these will be achieved before Sept 2024 (TDR date)
- Test beam availability
- CERN: March/April
- DESY: requires submission of a request around March for beam time in summer
- JLAB: available anytime (parasitic with main experiment in Hall D) after Sept 2024
- Prototypes available
- MIT: 5x5 PWO + PMT
- CUA/JLAB: 3x3 + PMT, 3x3 + SiPM, 5x5 + SiPM (requires modifications)
- Crytur USA: 5x5 + SiPM
- IJCLAB/Orsay: 5x5
- AANL: 4x4
- Action: Justin will call dedicated meeting on SiPM/readout electronics tests
CRYSTALS
- Size of the crystals is essentially fixed at this time
- Strong motivation for 20.5mm x 20.5mm since Crytur already made hundreds of crystals stockpiled (never stopped production since Sept 2023, so have order hundred of crystals now)
DISCUSSION OF TDR PLANNING FOR EEEMCAL
- The lab/testbeam/prototyping needed; - The further progress needed for the reconstruction software; - The verification of the implementation of the detector and detector response in simulation and validation using information from lab/testbeam exercises or from literature; - The studies required to demonstrate the detector performance; - The required engineering design; - The needed resources to achieve 60% (CD-2) and 90% (CD-3) design completion; - The plan should include the time required to draft the text for the pre-TDR (CD-2) and TDR (CD-3).
NEXT MEETING: FRIDAY 9 FEB AT 8:00AM ET
