1. Conlusions of the Cracow Meeting
Wolfgang Lohmann,
DESY
February 25, 2019
IFJ PAN Cracow
Instrumentation of the forward region

2. BeamCal and LumiCal (Example LDC, 14 mrad):
TPC
HCAL
BeamCal
ECAL
precise (LumiCal) and fast (BeamCal) luminosity measurement
hermeticity (electron detection at low polar angles)
mask for the inner detectors
GamCal ~150 m downstream for fast luminosity

3. New results in LumiCal simulation studies:
Bogdan, Iftach, Ivan, Pavel, Alexandra.
Some results not in agreement, results relevant for FE Asic
design should be documented.
Eudet note ?
Mokka implementation now almost completed
BeamCal/Pair Monitor Simulations
Andrey, Eliza, Uriel, Yosuke
First part needs to be finalised and published/written down

4. New results on sensor studies BeamCal:
Konstantin, Sasha, Sergey, several results ready for publication
Sensors for BeamCal
Andrey, Eliza, needs to be finalised and published/written down
Sensors for LumiCal
Wojtek, mask design in progress, first prototypes in autumn 2008
Laser alignment system
Krzystof, tests in a small size prototype
To be extended to larger scale prototype/interferometry
Mechanics

6. Coming Meetings and Conferences:
June Warsaw:
Calorimetry
- LumiCal performance studies (Iftach, Bogdan, Ivan)
- FE ASIC design and tests (Marek, Jan, Krzysztof ..)
- Sensor tests (Konstantin, Sasha, Martin..)
MDI
- beamdiagnostics with BeamCal/GamCal (Andrey)
IEEE (Octobre, Abstract NOW)
FE ASIC design (Marek)
single crystal diamond beam tests (Sergey, Martin)
EUDET Meeting (Oct. 6-8, Amsterdam)
FCAL meeting in Belgrade (Octobre)
LCWS Chicago

IFJ PAN Cracow

7. Where we are: Design studies of the calorimeters relatively advanced
Open issues
- realistic detector, including calibration uncertainties,
cross talk, noise…..
- realistic beam transport simulations
- beam-pipe shape
- design studies for GamCal
Hardware activities must be enhanced

8. We found new partners in US, Japan
CERN has interest, extending FCAL to CLIC
However:
About 80 Physicists signed the report to
the PRC
- here we are 30
- in the table of ‘FTEs’ working for FCAL I count 25
- engineering support is far from sufficient
- diploma students will finish- need replacement
- funding in Europe is tight, in US it is far from adequate
- support for testbeam activities is not sufficient.
Remember: EDR should be ready in 2012

9. Testbeam and Hardware Milestones
We had a first nice experience with the EUDET testbeam
Infrastructure at DESY
More testbeam this/next year??
ASIC tests will be continued in the lab.
Next steps
Irradiation test at DALINAC – just discussions about 1 week testbeam in the fall of the year
Laser alignment prototype ready in (Cracow)
FE ASICS prototypes ready in (Cracow and
Fully equipped sensor plane ready in DESY, TA)
