Agenda

• MRI preparations for mTPC/TDIS

Minutes

Notes from Marco

• Note that we anticipated the meeting from next week to discuss MRI now, as the MRI deadline is coming soon (so no meeting will be February 13)
• MRI preparation - Nilanga update
  • Institutions: UVA (leading), Hampton U., Virginia Union U., JLab
  • Deadlines:
    • NSF deadline: February 05, 5pm (Monday)
    • Our (tentative) submission deadline: February 02 (many institutions involved, safe to try to submit earlier)
    • Our proposal ready deadline: January 26 (so we can prepare for submission)
  • Budget goal:
    • Try to keep under U$1M (track 1 proposal) - otherwise more requirements are needed
  • C1 condition:
    • Our C1 constrain will be addressed - change from a radial TPC to a multiple TPC
    • PAC report: C1 is related to detector feasibility, not DAQ
    • Our current analysis show that the detector is possible
    • C1 cannot be lifted in time for the MRI - requires to form a committee, write details (2 weeks is not enough for all that)
    • Although the experiment is with C1, we should highlight that it was A-rated
    • We could ask a letter from the DAQ or the electronics group emphasizing that the detector can be built
  • Proposal preparation:
    • Nilanga has first draft already - need now feedback from people
    • We should highlight that the PAC approved the science, we have days allotted for the experiment, the rating was given
    • Thia can write as a Hall leader about schedule if needed
    • There has been a very broad program on TDIS discussed for the EIC, like what we are doing - several workshops already happened
    • Nilanga will circulate the current version of the proposal in the next day or two - please review and give comments by the end of week
    • Cryogenic requirements have to be in the MRI, as it was a question raised by the PAC. We should highlight that our detector design should work for both cryogenic and non-cryogenic temperatures.
    • Discussion of ions accumulated in the volume of the TPC has to be mentioned (Rachel simulated that?)
  • Budget spreadsheet:
    • NSF requires at least 30% of cost sharing
    • UVA: cost sharing with manpower (postdoc, graduate and undergrad students)
    • UVA development (values detailed in the spreadsheet):
      • (A) GEM prototype with novel readout board. Bogdan suggested a design already in the TPC geometry, to develop strips, radial wires, etc. required for the actual detector.
      • (B) 2 mTPC units for detailed studies of detector
