News - Nils

----------------
This Thursday, July 12, there will be a retreat at BNL to discuss “the path forward on an EIC detector in the 1008 complex,” organized by Jamie Dunlop, bringing together people from BNL Physics, C-AD, and Instrumentation.  Nils will present the status of the EIC Detector Study Group’s efforts.

Hi all, 

Nils gave a nice presentation at the retreat, and the ensuing discussions prompted a few thoughts for me.  The W/SciFi EMCal resolution we're quoting is deliberately conservative and it'd be good to know what a not-so-conservative number is.  In addition, how much of the position dependence of the resolution can be unfolded by the tracking?  On the timescale of EIC we're likely to want to replace SiPMs, and on that same timescale, perhaps it will be practical to tile the EMCal with SiPMs and do away with light guides entirely.  How would that affect the resolution?

Cheers,
Dave
