Formal Status of the Project

EUDET officially started 1.1.2006

Final contract available

1) to be signed by DESY and EC defines entry into force important for some partner to hire personnel & spend money

2) accession forms to be signed by all partners underwayAfter that all formalities done!

Expect first instalment soon Now we must fully concenrate on scientific part of the project

Complete management structure in place

Activities split up into several tasks:

4

Status of Tasks

Web based information system:

well advanced framework for eudet.org existing please start using it JRAs should take care of their part assign responsible person(s)

development of framework not finished: papers, meetings, outreach, … new demands will pop up

On next slides: Typical examples, no claim of completenessEmphasis on items to be achieved soon

5

Testbeam Infrastructure

Magnet (PCMAG)

Magnet existing at KEK

Magnet to be used by several other devices (TPC, Si detectors, calorimeter?)Point were close inter-JRA collaboration and communication is needed

Infrastructure Areas of work identified

Transport to DESY August 2006

6

Testbeam Infrastructure

Pixel Telescope

Simulation σ ≈ 2µm

2007: Demonstrator based on existing CMOS chip limited speed but useful beam telescope

DAQ important issue beyond beam telescope

→ DAQ workshop at this workshop

Detailed working plan establised

Testbeam Infrastructure

Tracking

TPC

fieldcage design based on light small prototype TPC

prototype electronics - FADC based on ALTRO - TDC type readout important: well defined interfaces to readout planes - mechanics - electronics

Design of readout planes will be complexNeed input now from all potential users

60 cm length80 cm diam.

TDC scheme

9

Si-TPC

Going from MediPix to TimePix

clock distribution scheme under discussion - local oscillator per pixel - distributed clock

final pixel schematics in ≈ 1 month chip submission in summer 1st TimePix operational 1/2007

Silicon Tracking

FE electronicsMechanicsCoolingAlignment

Incorporated into SILC

Example: FE chips in 130 nmSubmission in April

Potential application of NA2 access to rad. hard micro-electronics

DHCAL TECH1 layout

FE chip (1mm)Wafer (500µm)PCB (600µm)

Common readout architecture Several key innovative features (power pulsing, digitsation,…) Key issue for ILC calorimeter concept

ECAL:Reduce thickness to minimum

14

Data Acquisition

DAQ has been identified as key issue of EUDET

part of the infrastructures easy-to-use for users cross-JRA issue combined testbeam run of several sub-detectors

relations to software framework (→ NA2)

DAQ is an important issuse for ILC detectors EUDET is not going to design/build anything close to the final ILC DAQ system but we must stay connected to the international R&D efforts to go into the same direction

15

Transnational Access

TA1 2006 → 2009 DESY TestbeamTA2 2008 → 2009 Access to infrastructure

Eligible user: - European user groups, i.e. the speaker of the group must be affiliated to a European institute - but not from the same country, e.g. non-German for TA1 - EUDET or extra-EUDET Eligible projects: - ILC related or any other HEP or non-HEP project

Procedure: - write a short proposal for typically 2-3 weeks testbeam usage - to be evaluated by our Selection Board

Your potential profit: - travel money

More details soon on eudet.org

20

Next Steps

Lot of work to be accomplished already in 2006

Consolidate plans Advertise positions quickly and start to hire personnel Start to spend money (where reasonable) Remember: we should try to stick to our spending profile

Continue bi-weekly meetings of SC

Plan for full review of status in summer - scientific and financial aspects - coordinators, tasks leaders

Annual Workshop Meeting in October - similar layout and duration as Kick-off Meeting - preparation of Annual Report - date and venue being discussed

EUDET in the ILC Universe

Relation to developments in Americas and Asia talks by Andy White and Tohru Takeshita with very positive reactions towards EUDET

22

Fully incorporated in the ILC detector R&D- Make optimal use of EUDET resources on international scale- Avoid unnecessary duplication structures

Special attention:

- EUDET is a contract between you and the EC with well defined milestones and deliverables some only months away- Need for some independent structures managements, meetings,.. - Find delicate equilibrium between these exigencies

EUDET in the ILC Universe

23

EUDET in the ILC Universe

My personal view on EUDET and the relation to other ILC activities(in the language of particle physicists) consider EUDET as sort of (large) virtual institute

which is part of an even larger collaboration the ILC detector R&D

EUDET provides resources to and takes responsibilities in the collaboration which must be carefully synchronised with the other collaborators

e.g. with collaborations as CALICE, FCAL, SILC, LCTPC

yet, even as virtual institute EUDET is responsible towards its funding agency (European Union) requires an adequate internal structure and management

This meeting was an important and successful step towards our goals
