Hi Leszek and all,

My few cents - I've been using "nHCal" since I joined the project, which is admittedly just a few weeks. I'd prefer to keep it. It can be pronounced smoothly ("en-aitch-cal"), while "eeHCal" ("eeh-eeh-aitch-cal") is kind of a stumbler. "bHCal" is still too close to the barrel HCal (or may even be identical for case-insensitive circumstances, like some string searches). 

I don't think "negative" sounds negative in the colloquial sense. We're all particle physicists at the end of the day. 

Lastly - to be most consistent, the barrel HCal should change their name. In this way, we could keep the "b" for "backward", as opposed to the "F" in "HECAL" and "FHCAL".

Best,

Caroline

Hi Daniel

Yes, I like it too and I've been using it. However, the "negative" doesn't sound good for publicity even though it just means negative rapidity.

Best regards, Leszek

Hi Leszek,

I like “nHCAL” as we’ve been using. Can we stick with that? 

Best,

Daniel

Dear Colleagues As you can see during the keyword selection for TDR: https: //indico. bnl. gov/event/24087/#5-communications There is a name clash: BHCAl - barrel HCal BHCAL - backward HCAL We need to fix it by tomorrow. In order to avoid this

Dear Colleagues

As you can see during the keyword selection for TDR:

https://indico.bnl.gov/event/24087/#5-communications

There is a name clash:

BHCAl - barrel HCal

BHCAL - backward HCAL

We need to fix it by tomorrow. In order to avoid this I suggest the following:

eeHCAL - "electron endcap HCAL" (the best selection)

nHCal - "negative HCal" - negative doesn't sound good

bHCal - "backward HCal" - backward doesn't sound good either

Tomorrow (the deadline), I will suggest "eeHCAL" to Silvia, but please let me know if you have other ideas or suggestions.

Best regards, Leszek
