sPHENIX discussion of electronics

[eric mannel <mannel AT bnl.gov>]

Gabor-

Since the Debrecen group has designed and built the SiPM tester, made 
major contributions to the SiPM neutron damage studies and worked on 
testing of SiPM for performance, it seems natural that they should 
consider contributing abstracts for consideration.  At a bare minimum, 
it would seem that an abstract  on radiation studies done at Debrecent  
and the SiPM tester developed by the Debrecen group should be 
considered. This of course does not preclude other abstracts that might 
be of interest be submitted for consideration.

I will be doing project management related activities the rest of the 
week, so feel free to stop by my office to talk about details if you 
want. Next week I will be dealing with project management issues in 
Santa Fe NM.
