EUDET annual meeting Oct. 18-20

ECFA workshop, November 6-10

ACFA WS, Beijing, February 2007

We have to report about our results after the first year, and to write a report

Draft (final) of the DCR (will be published end of 2006 together with the machine RDR)

prepare ourselfs, FCAL meeting before?

LCWS,Hamburg, June 2007

Where are we with FCAL

-We worked out an advanced design for several crossing

angles, 2, 20, 14 mrad; -this design is part of the LDC, (partly also for SiD,

GLD) concepts-we got an encouraging statement by the PRC-we have new members and extended our scope – GamCal to analyse photons (welcome Bill Morse)-we founded a Collaboration-we are part of EUDET, EUROTEV

However: many questions still not answered

Octobre 17 2006 MPI Munich

Current design (Example LDC, 14 mrad):

Luminometer

BeamCal

TPC

ECA

L

HCAL

-Background on LumiCal ?- Background in the inner Detector?

Technology: Tungsten/Si (C)

sandwich

Octobre 17 2006 MPI Munich

A few topics to be thought

Selection of Bhabha events:

Energy selection cut

At which energy this cut has to be put?-Theoretical uncertainty -Energy scale uncertainty

Octobre 17 2006 MPI Munich

A few topics to be thought

The Bhabha cross section depends on the polarisation

How well is this understood?-higher order corrections - considered in the Monte Carlo

Octobre 17 2006 MPI Munich

A few topics to be thought

Electron detection efficiency:

Algorithm relies on constant bunch charge

Look on Dumping Rings

How stable is this mechanism?-Bunch-to-bunch fluctuations (Contact to machine people )

Octobre 17 2006 MPI Munich

Simulations

Progress:-GEANT4 simulation of LumiCal, new geometry-4f background in LumiCal-Beam-diagnostics with GamCal, BeamCal

Topics:- GamCal design- Reconstruction of Bhabha events from clusters- How influence radiative effects for a given detector the uncertainty of the measurement- Optimised segmentation/structure for LumiCal- Realistic readout scheme, - More realistic BeamCal simulation- Backscatterd background

Octobre 17 2006 MPI Munich

Sensors and Readout

Progress:-testbeam studies: performance as a function of the absobed dose, for the first time done up to a few MGy - Laser alignment - first experience with the Phy3 chip- First experience with GaAs, very soon large prototypes

Topics:-continue studies of diamond sensors, GaAs-Si sensor studies (to learn to work with them).-Assembly of full sensor planes prototype test.-Readout electronics design for the prototype O(1000) channels.-Concept for the readout electronics -very critical issue !

Octobre 17 2006 MPI Munich

This meeting at MPI

-Reports on many topics mentioned

-Discussions on ‘critical’ issues -More responsibilities to subgroups (simulation, electronics, sensors)-periodic reviews of milestones (PRC, EUDET) -conferences, LC notes, publications…
