Development of dRICH Prototype and Photosensor Program
Detailed tasks include the design, simulation, and implementation of optical components for the basic dRICH prototype, as well as the development of a SiPM program focusing on radiation tolerance and custom sensor solutions. The timeline spans from 2021 to 2025, with key milestones such as beam tests, refinement of components, and engineering of cooling systems. The readout timeline involves maintaining reference readout systems, updating readout chains, and integrating SiPM readouts with sensor cooling. Consortium meetings are scheduled to discuss progress and future plans.
