Minutes

  1. Status of ongoing R&D
    • Mechanical design and bar box transport (Matt)
      • Window load tests are complete.
        • No evidence that window or wedge will break under 200% load in vertical orientation.
        • However, still planning to use horizontal orientation to minimize risk of breakage. John working on mechanical design.
      • Shipping consultant from Rock-It Cargo visited last week.
        • They are designing "museum quality" shipping crate with John and will fabricate and ship to IU in next ~2 weeks. Single box costs $5-10k.
      • After completing work on shipping crate, will write a summary report on findings with complete cost estimate.
    • Focusing optics and mirror status (John)
      • First step in mirror fabrication for large flat mirror complete, and in hand at Bates.
      • Quotes complete for 3 of 4 steps, and last one being finalized.
      • Planning for tests to characterize mirror properties at Bates.
    • Readout (Justin)
      • Discussed general plan for readout using CLAS12 RICH MaPMT option.
      • Lead time on MaPMTs from Hamamatsu may be longer due to order from GSI RICH project.
      • Need to consider effects of solenoid fringe field and field changes from the DIRC mechanical structure, including possible shielding options.
      • Since MaPMT cost is a large fraction of the project budget, should consider optimizations in the 3-segment mirror focusing to reduce required PMT coverage.
  2. Planning for October review and Technical Design Report (All)
    • Will have an informal review internally before the formal Jlab review.
    • Need a plan for milestones in preparing the TDR: outline, first draft of sections, sections complete, final edits, etc.
    • Justin will make an area in SVN to get things started.
  3. Collaboration with GSI/PANDA and the EIC DIRC meeting last weekend
    • Discussed some of the proposed contributions from the GSI group, and agreed this is a reasonable place to start.
    • Justin will follow up with Joe, and shoot for having a draft service statement by the May collaboration meeting (5/11)
  4. Plan to have meetings bi-weekly again on Friday afternoons
