What is the intrinsic limit for TOF for rel. particles? Typical path lengths for light and electrons are set by physical dimensions of the light collection and amplifying device. These are now on the order of an inch. One inch is 100 psec. That’s what we measure- no surprise! (pictures swiped from T. Credo talk at Workshop) HJF DOE Review

Simulation for Coil Showering and various PMTs (Shreyas Bhat) • Right now, we have a simulation using GEANT4, ROOT, connected by a python script • GEANT4: pi+ enters solenoid, e- showers • ROOT: MCP simulation - get position, time of arrival of charge at anode pads • Both parts are approximations • Could we make this less home-brew and more modular? • Could we use GATE (Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission) to simplify present and future modifications? • Working with Prof. Chin-tu Chen and students, UCHospitals Radiology- they know GATE very well, use it regularly HJF DOE Review
Separating b from b-bar in measuring the top mass (lessens combinatorics) • Identifying csbar and udbar modes of the W to jj decays in the top mass analysis (need this once one is below 1 GeV, I believe) • Separating out vertices from different collisions at the LHC in the z-t plane • Identifying photons with vertices at the LHC (requires spacial resolution and converter ahead of the TOF system • Locating the Higgs vertex in H to gamma-gamma at the LHC (mass resolution) • Kaon ID in same-sign tagging in B physics (X3 in CDF Bs mixing analysis) • Fixed target geometries- LHCb, Diffractive LHC Higgs, (and rare K and charm FT experiments) • Super-B factory (Nagoya Group, V’avra at SLAC) Possible Collider Applications

Excellent support from Cadence. • Have modeled DAQ/System chip in Altera (Jakob Van Santen: Sr) • ANL has put together a test stand with working DAQ, has bought a very-fast laser, has made contact with advanced accel folks:(+students) • Have established strong working relationship with Chin-Tu Chen’s PET group at UC; source of good students; common interests (with Saclay too). Hope can establish a program in the application of HEP to meds • Harold and Tang have a good grasp of the overall system problems and scope, and have a top-level design plus details • Have found Greg Sellberg at Fermilab to offer expert precision assembly advice and help (wonderful tools and talent!). • 9.

Haven’t yet plugged in a device- all simulation • Harold and Paul Mitchell (Burle) have taught us that the hard part is the return path from MCP-OUT to the Gd • Haven’t yet submitted a design to IHP- don’t know the realities of making chips (in progress as we speak) • Have no equipment to test these chips when we get them • Have no experience on how to measure device performance when we actually get them. • We are a small group- lots to do!
