  1. Letter of Intent for Detector R&D Towards an EIC Detector TK Hemmickfor theEIC Tracking R&D Group

  2. Why a LOI Response to a Call for Proposals? • The EIC community is an ever-growing and diverse set of scientists with a broad range of physics goals. • Tracking and PID technologies must be driven by the physics goals of the EIC and not by the technology du jour. • Success will be defined by • Gathering a community that cross-cuts R&D with physics. • Drawing upon diverse experience to formulate reasoned plans. • Our Letter of Intent: • Announces a fledgling community taking on this task. • Contains requests for small scale “seed grant” work of likely interest. • Promises a full R&D tracking proposal in one year’s time.

  12. Fast Drift TPC Development • Request Help on this slide from Craig Woody…

  13. Large Area Readout Using Chevrons • Request Help from Marcus Holmann…

  14. CsI RICH Possibilities. • The Stony Brook group wishes to investigate the feasibility of CsI-coated GEMs as a large area, B-field tolerant solution for RICH work. • Operating in CF4 the PHENIX HBD detector demonstrated the highest measured N0 of any large Cherenkov Detector. • However, there are limitations due to the sensitivity range of CsI (110 – 200 nm). • Windows for liquid radiator provide higher cutoff. • Most (not all) optics for reflection provide higher cutoff. • Aerogel opaque in sensitive range.

  15. Large Area GEM w/ “hidden” Readout • Request Help from Lilange to finish…

  16. Strip-pixel R&D • Request Help from Richard Majka to finish slide…

  17. Simulations begun… • The most important work over the coming year involves simulations to propose viable technology choices for R&D. • A simulation framework exists. • The work plan involves driving processes: • FL drives momentum precision. • Ds drives PID.
