LCTPC remarks for closed session

• PRC04 Conclusion
• PRC06 11May Peter Wienemann presentation
• PRC06 Written report
• LCTPC collaboration/finances

• PRC04 Conclusion and what has happened since then
• Linear Collider RD TPC
• The PRC acknowledges the impressive work of the
  TPC group as an international effort and
  encourages a further globalization of the LC-TPC
  effort.
• Globalization complete other US groups, Asian
  groups(China), other European groups, extensive
  RD work continuing.
• The PRC recognizes the importance to finish the
  studies done in the first phase of the RD
  (called demonstration phase in the report) and
  the progress towards this goal during the last
  years. It agrees that a next step should be the
  design and construction of a second generation
  (larger) series of prototypes.
• Organization of Large Prototype _at_ Eudet facility
  started
• The PRC supports the group in its continuing need
  for test facilities, e.g. the high field magnet
  at DESY and elsewhere and adequate test beams of
  electrons and hadrons, which will be required in
  particular starting around 2006.
• Will be provided by the Eudet facility
• The PRC recommends that DESY continues to
  strongly support the group in order to allow an
  involvement in the project at a significant
  level.

LCTPC Remarks for closed session

• PRC06 11May Peter Wienemann presentation could
  only cover some examples. More examples are in
• The written reportgtversion (with all plots) at
• http//mppmu.mpg.de/settles/tpcprc08052006.p
  df, e.g.,
• Kek beam tests
• MWPC
• GEM
• Micromegas
• Resistive foil
• Other small chambers (e.g.Cornell/Purdue)
• Complete overview of design issues (Appendix), to
  be addressed by LP

RD Planning reminder

• 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.

LCTPC Finances delivered to WWS RD panel
Dec.2005

• ILC Detector RD Project
• Topic priorities and estimated support needed
• Project name LC-TPC RD
• Funding countries (regions) Canada/USA
  (America),
• 
  China/Japan (Asia),
• 
  EU/France/Germany/Netherlands/Poland/Russ
  ia
• 
  /Sweden/CERN(Europe).
• Priority 1 topics
• Topic-description overview ( 1 line description
  per topic)
• gt The TPC groups have divided the RD work
  into three Phases
• 1 Demonstration Phase finish the work on small
  TPC prototypes.
• 2 Consolidation Phase design, build and test a
  Large Prototype (LP).
• 3 Design Phase for the LC-TPC. (Priority 2)
• Topic descriptions for Phase 1, the Small
  Chamber Program
• Topic descriptions for Phase 2, LP hardware
• Topic descriptions for Phase 2,
  software/simulation issues for the LP and the
  LC-TPC.
• Topic descriptions for Phase 2,
  calibration/reliability issues for the LP and
  LC-TPC.
• Urgent financial requirements for Priority 1
  topics

equipment includes all non-staff costs -
consumables, travel, overhead. FTEs includes
academics, students and support which are
combined for this overview. Comments The TPC
groups within the Eudet consortium have approved
funding as indicated above this will cover 50
of the costs for the LP and LC-TPC programs. The
extra-Eudet TPC groups are of about equal
strength (manpower and resources) to those in
Eudet, as estimated from the report to the Desy
PRC in October 2004. The extra-Eudet TPC groups
will thus be requested to generate a matching
amount to that already approved for Eudet, as
indicated under additional support needed. The
extra-Eudet TPC groups will be applying
individually for support to carry out their parts
of the programs. The funding profile will not be
exactly flat, but until it is known better for
the extra-Eudet groups, the above can serve as a
working hypothesis.

did minutes of steering meetings -Paul Colas kept
track of TPC talks at conferences/workshops -Some
other responsibilites were distributed What do we

LCTPC collaboration What do we need for the
enlarged collaboration and Phase (2)?
Suggestions being discussed (no decision yet)
-Extend steering to new countries
-Form some kind of collaboration board consisting
of group leaders -The collaboration board
decides how to organize itself and
-Elects a spokesperson by the end of
2006. -Write up a (loose) MOU for the LP work.
