sPHENIX EMCal discussion

["Sickles, Anne M" <sickles AT illinois.edu>]

Hi Ed (and all),

After discussion with Craig, I put the main points from the outline from the word file into overleaf:

https://www.overleaf.com/2657127qghjbm

I think from here people can work on the sections as discussed at the workshop.

We can briefly discuss it next week at the EMCal meeting, but overleaf seems very straightforward to use.

Best,

Anne

    Dear all,
     John Haggerty copied me on the proposed outline of the EMCal 
    section of the sPHENIX pCDR. It looked quite comprehensive but
    I'd like to request two additional topics be added to the subsection
    on the Overview of the Detector.
    1) Justification or Rationalization of the design choices for the subsystem.
    Why did we choice this energy resolution, granularity, material, geometry, photosensor.

    It may be obvious to us since we've been working on it for a long time but it won't
    necessarily be as clear to those at DOE or other nuclear or high energy physicists,
    especially reviewers, that don't work at RHIC.

    2)Include a text-based or tabular description of the steps that takes us from 
    where we are now to a completed detector ready to install. A tabular version of this would
     be ideal, but I am uncertain how easy this would be to come up with. A
    text version would be of the form:
    
    Production and bench testing of both 1-D and 2-D projective towers between now 
    and the spring of 2016. Beam tests at FNAL with  an array of 1-D projective modules 
    in April 2016 with prototype sPHENIX Calormeter electronics. 
    Beam tests with an array of 2-D projective modules at FNAL in the Fall of 2016 
    followed by the start of the design of full-scale supermodule prototype. 
    Conceptual design of the EMCal throughout FY2017. Bench tests of the 
    full-scale prototype starting in mid-2017 using  the next round of the calorimeter 
    electronics. Final engineering design of the EMCal starting in early FY18 and 
    concluding in 4QY18. Start procurement process for major EMCal production 
    components 4QFY18. Production of towers beginning in spring 2019 …..  

    I've attached the amended outline of the EMCal section.

    Ed
