RD Planning

• 1) Demonstration phase
• Continue work with small prototypes on mapping
  out parameter space, understanding resolution,
  etc, to prove feasibility of an MPGD TPC. For
  CMOS/Si-based ideas this will include a basic
  proof-of-principle.
• 2) Consolidation phase
• Build and operate the LP, large prototype, (Ø
  75cm, drift 100cm), with EUDET infrastructure
  as pedestal, to test manufacturing techniques
  for MPGD endplates, fieldcage and electronics.
  Design is starting---building and testing will
  take another 3 years.
• 3) Design phase
• After phase 2, the decision as to which endplate
  technology to use for the LC TPC would be taken
  and final design started.

6


Phase 1 continue (in parallel to LP) for next
2 years
7

• Phase 2
• Basic Idea LP should be a prototype for the LC
  TPC design and test as many of the issues as
  possible as was done before, e.g., TPC90 _at_ Aleph
• The Eudet infrastructure gives us a starting
  basis for the LP work
• There other LC TPC RD issues in addition to
  building LP which will be planned in conjunction
  with it

8
LCTPC/LP Issues(This is a list that Mike put
together for todays meeting-gtyou will see these
are contained in the following workpackages)

• Physics Requirements/Benchmarks
• RD Priorities
• Mechanics
• Electronics
• Software
• Background studies
• Calibration/Alignment/Monitoring

LCTPC/LP Workpackages We now have the conveners,
here are some suggestions for how to
proceed -Kickoff phone meeting of the conveners
on 19 April 2006 (Ill be at Desy) -Conveners
get feedback from LCTPC collaboration (i.e., the
represent the collaboration, not a particular
institute) -Have regular LPWP phone meetings
every few weeks -Less frequent full meetings.
-Other suggestions?
16


Upcoming PRC Meeting

• Status report to the Desy PRC 11May2006 (written
  version due 12 April)
• Written version whats happened since last PRC
• I have received feedback from Dean, Jan, Paul
  need rest since written report due next week!!!
• Drafts will be available at http//mppmu.mpg.de/s
  ettles/tpcprc2006.pdf
• Between 12 April and 11 May, I shall be asking
  the groups about (confidential) money/manpower
  situation (as for past PRCs)

17


LCTPC collaboration We had in the old days (for
the PRC reports) -Steering group with 1
representative and 1 backup per country to
discuss overall situation, make
recommendations Country steering
member/backup CAN Madhu Dixit/Dean Karlen

Paul Colas/Vincent Lepeltier NL
Jan Timmermans PL Elzbieta
Rulikowska RUS Alexei
Buzulutskov USA Mike Ronan/Ulrich Becker
Convener Ron Settles -Regular RD
phone/video meetings set up by me -Madhu did
minutes -Paul kept track of TPC talks at
conferences/workshops -Some other responsibilites
were distributed
18


LCTPC collaboration What do we need for the
enlarged TPC collaboration and Phase (2)?
A suggestion (others are welcome) after some
discussion -Extend the steering to
Japan, China, Sweden, Cern to cover all
countries, keeping the present setup for the
steering. (Thats the easiest way for a first
iteration. We can make further changes as we go
along.) -Form a virtual collaboration
board of group leaders (i.e. meetings by email or
phone/www) -Have a TPC meeting in
conjunction with LCWS and regional meetings, like
at Bangalore. The next regional meeting is at
Vancouver (ALCPG) July 19-22 information from
Dean there is time allotted for satellite
meetings on the afternoon of Tuesday July 18 and
the morning of July 23. -Other ideas?
