  1. Plausability scenario Richard Seto “forward calorimeter” meeting 8/21/2008

  2. Design Ideas • 2-4 x/y strip layers – to get the π0 • many need 4 to give more random chances for conversion • Pads in front – to keep resolution • 2 EM segments+γ/π0 segment • Physics drivers • Heavy Ion • jet-particle correlations (e.g. jet+γ, π0 +gamma, jet+ π0…) • χC • dAu • direct γ (ondrej is working on REAL data for this) • direct γ +jet • Spin • Delta G (direct γ, jet- γ, π0/ π0) • transverse physics (π0/ π0)

  4. staging plan • NCC • One side • EM1+EM2 – cost ~$2M (BNL) (2012) • γ/π0 – cost $1-2M (Yonsei/RIKEN) (2013) • 2nd side • $2-3M (Yonsei/RIKEN/+??) (2014?) • unsure about 2ndγ/π0 • RBUP • 2009 – 500 GeV pp • 2010 – 200 GeV pp+200 GeV AuAu • 2011 –AuAu low energy/pp 500 • 2012 UU 200, pp 200 • 2013 pp 500, AuAu (?) • 2014

  8. Plans • I think that the physics demands the γ/π0strips for everything but the dAu the problem is that dAu is not running for several years. What will run is pp, and AuAu and low energy stuff • AuAu- we have to do some physics - not just trigger • for pp, we need to get to low-x for ΔG • we can measure ΔG using photons, or π0's (or two π0's). We want to go to energies of the π0 or photons of about 25 GeV • how do we pay for it? • the calorimeter part (no γ/π0) - cost ~$2M - get this from BNL • the γ/π0 part which we need for ΔG - get from RIKEN (in perhaps 2011)- I hope this can be done for ~$2M • perhaps for now, we only build one side • This full device, I think can be defended and can get approved. • FULL simulations are now demanded by both BNL and RIKEN • that being said, I don't see why we can’t stage it. • we build, for $2M the calorimeter (no γ/π0) - as much as we can • We can do • peripheral Au (low energy π0, chic) • pp – chic • pp – W • dAu - lots of stuff • but VERY SOON AFTER (perhaps at the same time) we get the γ/π0 part in • perhaps we build both sides of the calorimeter part, and only equip one side with γ/π0 for now) This allows • photon-jet for pp - using both calorimeters, and the γ/π0 on one side • di- π0 for pp • n AuAu we get direct photons on one side • in dAu - we get the d going and the Au going sides - (lower energy π0's) • Target date: both calorimeter and γ/π02012 run.

  9. schedule • Nov DC meeting – Final design ready • Early Feb – test beam at FNAL • test strips • test pads • test scint? wait to hear from Edouard • If test beam is successful think about putting test module into PHENIX during run • Put together a proposal by April/June • Spin • Delta G • W • Transverse physics • Heavy Ions • gamma-jet • chic

  10. Other • slides • RKS (w/barbara) putting together general slides • Contacts • Visit Calice collaboration- contact with • Japanese (APD, SiPM) • Russians/HERA • French • Manchester/London • Italians • Talks • Mickey – RSC • Ken - Spin
