Detector Technology Group: Research & Development Strategies
The Detector Technology Group focuses on R&D for detector technology, setting schedules to make progress. Discussions include short-term approaches for describing detectors, collaboration participation, and decision-making. Activities at CERN and Fermilab are reviewed to address any missing R&D areas. Long-term coordination, leadership structure, and strategies for a 40kT detector build are also explored.

Panel #3 : Detector Technology Group The home for groups to do R&D, write CDR and set schedules for making progress Anne Heavey, Carlos Escobar, Mark Thomson, Bob O Sullivan, Jim Stewart, Michelle Stancari, Michele Weber 1 Presenter | Presentation Title 9/12/2024
Two Aspects to such a discussion Near Term : now through fall Farther term : after CD2a/3a 2 Presenter | Presentation Title 9/12/2024
Short Term On the timescale of April/May, what do you think should be the approach towards describing the detector for the CDR? What is the process that LBNF/ELBNF has in mind for producing the new CDR volumes for the near and far detectors? How will the collaboration participate in preparing the CDR? How will decisions be made regarding the content of the CDR? 3 Presenter | Presentation Title 9/12/2024
R&D Activities Given the activities being pursued at the CERN and Fermilab neutrino platforms , do you see any specific areas where we are missing detector R&D activities? In particular, are there areas that need to be urgently addressed ? 4 Presenter | Presentation Title 9/12/2024
Long Term Coordination How is it envisioned that the efforts of all groups are coordinated? Given the size and geographic diversity of the collaboration that is forming, how would you approach coordination of detector development activities? Is the proposed leadership / authority structure adequate to ensure successful, coordinated efforts? What mechanisms do we need in order to facilitate the inclusion of groups with less experience in LAr detectors? Is it viable, given the time scale, to think of a process of sharing equipment/infrastructure to get to a faster start? 5 Presenter | Presentation Title 9/12/2024
Building to 40kT Can we really set the timescale now for knowing how to build the full detector Do we know the progress we are going to make ? Answering yes somehow means that we know today how to build a 40kt. How do we decide on the strategy of staging? 2x5kt then 30, 4x10kt, 5+5+10+20 Do we need to know this for the CDR Should this decision be deferred until TDR (2017-18)? Detectors of O(100t) detectors have been built or are being built. We need to scale up by a factor 100+. Which elements of the TPCs scale ? Which risks are constant and which become uncertain ? 6 Presenter | Presentation Title 9/12/2024
Detector performance requirements What is the mechanism to agree on the detector requirements and the validation program? What is the strategy for presenting the detector performance status and the projected ultimate performance? Given two potential technologies (i.e. 1-phase vs. 2-phase LAr) how would you approach evaluating the performance, and how should a decision on how to proceed be made? 7 Presenter | Presentation Title 9/12/2024
Operations We should not forget that the detector(s) will be run for a long time. How do we decide about the balance between simplicity of construction and complication of operation ? 8 Presenter | Presentation Title 9/12/2024
