General Meeting Summary 11/18/19

ACTION ITEMS

• Summary of this meeting (Tanja)

• Make a diagram of the organizational structure and lines of communication (Peter)

• Starting from the SC list, make a list of names for the detector groups (all)

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

• Goal of the Working Group: Survey of detector technologies for a Yellow Report, e.g. Detector Technologies for CLIC (arXiv:1905.02520)

• Technologies map onto the EIC R&D programs
• But also some broader questions, e.g. mapping the detector performance on physics processes - here one also has synergies with the other working group

• Tasks for the Working Group:

• Constrain technologies for best performance
• Broader overview - integrate all detectors together in terms of performance

• Path towards achieving the goals of the Working Group include:

• Detector technologies

• start with list of detectors and make a list of people who can contribute, e.g. 4-5 per detector
• subconveners can be identified from the list, one subconvener per detector
• Monte Carlo expertise essential for each detector group as it is input to guide technologies

• Resolve barriers towards combining pieces and making the global physics measurement

• current R&D is targeted and assumes basic performance parameters
• R&D is currently not used to determine the overall physics and to make the best measurement
• barrier might be that there is currently no framework flexible enough to combine different detector technologies

• Discussion about possible models. Details might be different, but all have a set of common features:

• Detector technologies - link with R&D Consortia, some integration
• Global integration - smaller group addressing broader questions of detector performance and resolve any barriers
• Simulation - support, global framework

• Available documentation to guide the effort - it may be beneficial to remind of the examples documented and how one would advance those with new ideas and identify key questions

• Detector R&D Handbook
• White Paper
• In general it is good to keep in mind to look at panorama of detectors

MIT MEETING AGENDA FEEDBACK

• Perhaps beneficial to have discussion with all working group conveners

• boundaries between working groups not yet clearly defined
• what should be plenary and what parallel?
• discussion of role of simulations group

• Update on simulations

• need core simulation - learning curve for university students/postdocs to contribute is too steep
