Timelines/ Milestones (→ IMoU)
• prototypes of subsystems (photodetector, mirror + support) – Spring/Summer 2010
• complete RICH prototype and tests in testbeam - Spring/Summer 2011
• RICH design simulations of limiting factors - end of 2010
• RICH engineering design - Autumn 2011
• TDR - End of 2011
• be able to apply for funding for detector building in 2012
• finish detector building until 2016 (?)
14th CBM collaboration meeting, Split, October 2009
Plans
Preparation of complete RICH prototype to be tested in electron/pion beam at GSI, CERN or elsewhere (Europe):
• PMT plane of 3x3 or 4x4 H8500 with n-XYTER readout (electronics to be improved for an upgraded prototype) (Wuppertal, GSI)
• mirror prototyopes from Compas (HS Esslingen)
• mirror mount (PNPI Gatchina)
• gas vessel, gas system (PNPI Gatchina)
• design (GSI, PNPI Gatchina, Wuppertal)
RICH prototype at Pusan, Korea
• test specifications for gas system (gas purity and controls, stability and control for temperature, pressure,…)

Plans (II)
→ enables us for a preparation of a TDR till the end of 2011
→ test mechanical integration, working conditions of complete system, evaluate simulations,……
Further investigations in the lab:
• characterization of possible PMT options (q.e., collection efficiency, uniformity, wls films, sensitivity to magnetic field (shielding?),…)
• optimize readout electronics, specify requests for RICH suitable CBM-xyter chip
• mirrors (thickness, mirror mount,…), adjustment and alignment system
• controls
→ please read carefully IMoU draft and send your comments!
→ set up detailed list of tests/ measurements needed for final design/ decision on options/ design….
