Specifically: Review and summarise our options to optimise the science output from SPiDeR.

1. The aims of the meeting are to prepare ourselves for interacting with STFC as the situation unfolds. • Specifically: • Review and summarise our options to optimise the science output from SPiDeR. • Identify the papers which could/should be published in the next year. • Martial the arguments for continued funding until April or September. These would include completing started initiatives, maintaining expertise and strategic (e.g. finding new funding) • Identify who has the interest and the ability to continue working • Explore other options to obtain funding? • Explore options to collaborate (CERN) or migrate some of the work under an LHC umbrella • Understand what we should we do to ensure that the concepts of TPAC/INMAPS/FORTIS/CHERWELL/ISIS are not lost e.g. Can we ensure that we have demonstrators available for user evaluation?

2. 10:00 – 11:00 TPAC, FORTIS, CHERWELL, ISIS status reports11:00 – 11:30 Discussion and summary • The presentations should be brief (10’) recalling the investment to-date, the current status, the likely status in April and the benefit of continuing until September (or longer) i.e. • Brief update on status of measurements and analysis • What is still needed to complete work to publication? • What would be the case for submitting a new prototype? • What are the reasons to proceed with test beams at DESY, CERN • TPAC (Paul) • FORTIS & CHERWELL (Jaap, Jamie) • ISIS & SOI (Gary)

3. 11:30 – 12:00 Other MAPs projects12:00 – 12:30 Institute plans – Pixel RD, continued involvement with ILC, CLIC • Overview of active MAPs projects in the UK (Renato?) • Mass Spec (Andrei) • The international scene and prospects for continuing work e.g. collaboration, new funding (All). • LePix, OKI SOI (Mike/Gary) • Birmingham (Nigel) • Bristol (Joel) • Imperial (Paul) • Oxford (Andrei) • RAL (Mike, Renato)

4. 13:00 – 15:00 Pub lunch and summary session • Structure a discussion around the following themes: • Make explicit the investment to-date in detector RD (SPiDeR +LCFI + CALICE+ CFI) • SY, £M, equipment for ISIS, TPAC, FORTIS, CHERWELL • Summarise the next natural steps for each SPiDeR device • Testing, Publication, Next iteration for ISIS, TPAC, FORTIS, CHERWELL • Give our advice on a sensible managed “run-down” scenario for each SPiDeR device • Time, SY, equipment for ISIS, TPAC, FORTIS, CHERWELL • Summarise ideas to keep R&D and LC development alive without SPiDeR funding • Other funding options, collaboration, repackaging (LHC, KE) • Make a list of current ‘international positions’ which are threatened in detector RD, future LC • Person, position – one line description • Prepare a summary of international efforts on similar detector R&D • CERN (LePix), FNAL, KEK(SOI), Strassbourg VIPs(2010), http://eil.unipv.it/MaKaC/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=0 • Make the links between SPiDeR RD and possible future physics experiments explicit • Projects (e.g. LCVD, LCCAL, super-B, LHC?), Role of SPiDeR devices • Make the potential KE growing from SPiDeR RD explicit • Projects (e.g. LCVD, LCCAL, super-B, LHC?), Role of SPiDeR devices

5. Backup: Advisory panel chairs’ letter to Drayson (12/01/10) • ….extract • the waste of much of the significant prior investment made by the UK in forefront science; • the loss of hard-won UK leadership in many significant areas; • the lack of opportunity for developing future UK strategic opportunities for advancing the scientific frontier, with relevant knowledge exchange impact, on the 10-20 year horizon; • the extremely negative message to bright young people about the importance the UK places in cutting-edge, fundamental science, and the career opportunities that follow from training in these areas.

6. Backup: Le Pix summary (original presentation from W Snoeys attached) • CERN initiative – with other groups joining IRES, IC, INFN,… ) • MAPs R&D for sLHC and LC applications • Goal is to reduce power and material & achieve radiation tolerance (sounds familiar?) • Technology • IBM 90nm • High resistivity epi • Power <20mW/sq cm; 25nsec time tagging • Column parallel architecture

7. Backup: VIPS 2010 Workshop (Pavia Apr 22-24) • http://eil.unipv.it/MaKaC/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=0 • Vertical integration processes and interconnect techniques • Homogeneous CMOS 3D • Heterogeneous 3D ICs • SOI pixel detectors • Monolithic active pixel sensors. • Front-end electronics and signal processing • Pixels for future high luminosity colliders e.g. ILC, the SuperB Factory and the SLHC. • Photon detection and imaging. • Latest experimental results from 3D device characterization • Implications for system integration (cooling, mechanics, etc.)
