  1. Plans for FY08/09 Paul Dauncey Paul Dauncey

  2. Current plan • Assume a new proposal will be submitted ~Oct08 • If approved, funding comes on-stream in Apr09, i.e. FY09/10 onwards • Proposal would be considered by PPRP Oct-Dec08 • Approval or not known by Jan09 • Within FY08/09 need to continue until new funding available • Work between now and Nov08 should maximise probability of proposal being approved • Work after Nov08 should prepare ground for new proposal work • For FY08/09, putting in bid to prevent immediate, complete cut • Will bid for funds to make a second sensor • If cut back, then will only test current sensor but in more detail than planned • The main point in making the second sensor is to increase the chance of approving the proposal • Must be produced and tested by end of Nov08 • Feed results into PPRP in Dec08 • A publication would also help a lot with the proposal approval Paul Dauncey

  3. Implications • Assume the second sensor needs at least three months of tests • This would be Sep-Nov inclusive • The sensor needs two months to fabricate • This would be Jul-Aug inclusive • The design needs to be submitted by the end of Jun • Needs one month for final simulations, checks, reviews, etc. • Tests of first sensor must find problems and give input to the design • Need to be completed by end of May • We also need to produce one (or more) publications • This should be within the next six months while effort available Paul Dauncey

  4. Questions • Can we complete all testing of first sensor needed for second sensor design within four months? • Do we have enough effort between now and May? • Testing can and will continue afterwards e.g. for a publication • Can Jamie redesign the sensor by the end of Jun? • From last meeting, seems feasible but depends on what needs to be changed • What would we want the second sensor to look like? • How late could major issues be resolved e.g. a low efficiency? • Can we complete all testing of second sensor in Sep-Nov? • Do we have enough effort remaining at that time? • Unfeasible for beam test? Test structures, sources, cosmics, laser? • Wafers with and without deep p-well? • Minimise new components by reusing existing DAQ and sensor PCBs? • Would require new sensor to be PCB-compatible; can this be decided today? • If so, use FY07/08 funds to make ~30 more PCBs Paul Dauncey
