Summary • Time resolution about 60ps • It does not depend on position nor B-field • Fine mesh 2inch PMT (R5924) x25 ordered • 1.5x8x100(cm3) and 10cm light guide x8 slats • Readout electronics (8ch x 3) from BBC Open questions • Photon conversion rejector option? (read-out) • Removable T0 only for hadron PID run?
