  1. Outcome of the CERN meetingsPreparing the upgrade R&D proposal M. Shochet

  2. The meetings at CERN • We are encouraged to submit an upgrade R&D proposal ASAP. • Internal review by an appointed committee: takes a few months. • Then a few weeks to allow other groups to join. • Focus on next year – producing a technical design report. • Make FTKSim available to others. • Compare FTK and software tracking. • How are b-tag efficiencies correlated across levels? • I think the last two bullets are not very important or at least derivative. More sophisticated algorithms can be carried out with FTK because more L2 time is available. • What does matter is • Track efficiency • Impact-parameter resolution • Effect of the minimum PT of tracks • Effect of limiting the cone size for tracking • Need current level-2 timing for 4-jet events.

  3. Upgrade R&D Proposal • Introduction • Importance of trigger flexibility, robustness, redundancy, operating margin • Importance of 3rd-generation and the problem of its QCD background • FTK: provides full tracking with high quality helix parameters @ L2 start • Give a few physics examples (briefly). • We propose to prepare a technical design report. • Participating Institutions: • So far: Chicago, Illinois, Pisa • Seek additional participation? • U.S.: Berkeley (Beate) • Italy: Frascati, Rome, Pavia, … • Topic & Goal, etc.: • FTK: where it fits in, data flow, how it works, dual-output HOLA in hand • What this proposal covers: developing the TDR

  4. TDR tasks (with dates & # of people) • Complete and document physics studies during R&D proposal consideration. • Complete FTK simulator • Study performance vs. luminosity • Data-path specification for 1034 • Determine size of AM • Specs for each board: DF (strips & pixels), DO, AM, fitters • Specify output format for ROBINs • Physical layout: fibers, crates, cables • Firmware needed • Software needed: initialization, readout, monitoring • Resources needed for design, construction & testing, commissioning, operating.
