=== Roadmap toward a decision for Bcal Readout===
 
#Technical specifications, already outlined in [http://argus.phys.uregina.ca/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=795 GlueX-doc-795]
 
#*  [http://www.jlab.org/Hall-D/sipm_dev SiPM tests are underway]
 
#* Werner has recent results of tests of fine mesh PMTs reported in [http://argus.phys.uregina.ca/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=1173 GlueX-doc-1173]
 
# Geometry, especially related to acceptance gap between Bcal and Fcal. Detailed plan should be developed.
 
#*  Light guides and inactive material is different for the two options. We need to simulate the effect of each
 
#* Precise configuration of light guides for FM pmts on the upstream end, where the field at the end of the Bcal exceeds 0.5 T. See light guides studies in [http://argus.phys.uregina.ca/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=1077 GlueX-doc-1077]
 
#* Detail description of cables and electronics on each detector
 
# Granularity.
 
#* Optimization of distribution between inner and outer detectors
 
#* Which detectors should have discriminators and TDCs
 
#* Study of signal splitting, choice of discriminator - has an impact on number of cables.
 
# Resolution
 
#* Complete simulation studies for correct thresholds for the FM.
 
#* [[Energy threshold for various assumed PDE and DR combinations]].
 
#* Studies of timing resolution. Realistic simulation for both photons and charged particles
 
#* Resolution for various geometry options (mentioned above).
 
# Detailed B-field plots including dependence on B-field components
 
#* [http://argus.phys.uregina.ca/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=912 Magnetic fields at the location of detector pmts]
 
# Dynamic range required, especially for near pmt/small angle showers.
