General EEEMCal Meeting Summary 4/5/21

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)

• invited for presentation on PWO
• CORE is aiming for large area PWO coverage - endcap plus some of barrel

• ECCE SIMULATIONS MEETING (Rosi, Carlos)

• Kick off meeting to get people up and running on Fun4All
• Link to the Workshop including Fun4All tutorials
• 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. For more information on all planned prototype tests at JLab see this link

• 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 - Douglas will send out more information

• 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
