Star-fst-l mailing list

[flemming videbaek <videbaek AT bnl.gov>]

The FST group has been asked to evaluate the goals, benefits, and resources 
needed of installing and testing a prototype segment of the Si FST in situ at 
STAR. I believe we should write a short document that outlines pro and cons 
for installing a FST segment in the STAR detector either east or west 
platforms.
 
I invite comments and suggestions. on this. You can send them to the list, or 
to me/Zhenuy privately and we will gather comments and thought into a 
document that we should discuss in one of the upcoming meetings this month.


Some questions to consider are listed here.; other to consider are welcome.
 
What can be learned specifically by in-beam measurements?

What is needed for such setup?

What resources (people, material, time) is needed to set this up?

What resources will be available to digest the data taking in such setup?
 
What can be learned over and above checking the prototypes in the lab setup’s 
at UIC and BNL?

What might be learned that could lead to changes for the final setup?

best regards
