ILC – The International Linear Collider Project Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, April 28/08 April 28/2008-ALCPG Special Budgetary Issue ILC R&D in DOE (Paul Grannis) awarded us a $20 K late award that could not be sent to CU but could only be deposited at SLAC because of the timing. I request that I use these funds for BaBar work and be allowed to used BaBar funds deposited in Colorado for ILC R&D work.

ILC – The International Linear Collider Project Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, April 28/08 April 28/2008-ALCPG Because ILC R&D funds become available in ~ July the funds cover 2 years of BaBar work 1 year of differential housing costs for Nagel $5 K 1 year travel costs from Colorado to SLAC $5 K The total award from ILC R&D is $53 K

ILC – The International Linear Collider Project Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, April 28/08 April 28/2008-ALCPG The University has contributed to my research a total of $38 K towards support of a Research Associate since I have become Chair of the Boulder Faculty Assembly and my research time is now limited. I propose to use these and the ILC R&D funds towards the Research Associate if DOE accepts the ILC-BaBar fund exchange.

ILC – The International Linear Collider Project Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, April 28/08 April 28/2008-ALCPG By time tagging we are observing the photons arriving in time sequence. Possibility to use this to improve resolution. Need beam tests to check this hypothesis.

ILC – The International Linear Collider Project Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, April 28/08 April 28/2008-ALCPG Work still in progress. Comparison with Russian plots indicate 100 Mhz x 4 (measuring pulse height every 2.5 nsec) not enough resolution. National Instruments has just released a 2 Gigahertz unit. Using our trick of x4 will allow us to scan every nsec. A demo is on its way here to check whether 8 bits resolution is good enough.

ILC – The International Linear Collider Project Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, April 28/08 April 28/2008-ALCPG Conclusions A new revolution in photo-detection. A lot of improvements still possible. A lot of work to be done in this area. If one is bold and reckless one may say that “It may revolutionize calorimetry resolution.”

ILC – The International Linear Collider Project Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, April 28/08 April 28/2008-ALCPG Conclusions Our simulation work with the undergraduates is moving ahead. A lot of work needs to be done still. Need manpower help. Most of the pieces are in place to study Z and W mass resolution.
