1. News
---------------------------------
1a. Status of the LCTPC/LP collaboration(foils#3-8)
-The proposed structure is shown on foil #4.
-The Collaboration-Board (CB) of group representatives is complete
for the groups on foil # 5.
-Names of both CB and TB are shown on foils #6,7.
-A proposal by the interim-SP for the next steps was sent to the
CB and TB; the first collaboration meeting was held on 20.09.2006:
-There it was said that the structure should be kept simple and
that the collaboration must be open to new groups.
-It was decided that each region independently select a Regional
Coordinator, via vote by that region's CB members, to replace the
interim SPs, and that the three Regional Coordinators would choose
a chairperson who is the sole Spokesperson.
-This should take place a.s.a.p. so that the organization process
can proceed without delay; the interim-SPs will organize the
selection process for their region.
1b. WWS-R&D-panel tracking review at Beijing (foil#9)
After a discussion it was decided that the LCTPC should send an email
to Francois Richard (WWSOC chairperson) asking for clarification. RS
will formulate the email and send it after getting feedback from the TPC
groups.
2. WP Meeting
---------------------------------
2a.TPC R&D planning (Takeshi) (foils#10,11)
Questions:
-Opinions/discussion on how to stage LP; LP1 and LP2 (LP1.5?)?
-The available beam time, which may well be known among the EUDET people?
Discussion on the first question: Foil#11 shows the first ideas that were
generated at Vancouver. A second iteration on these ideas at today's
meeting gave the following result: the development from LP1 (first
prototype) to LP2 (real LCTPC prototype endplate) will likely proceed in
several iterative steps and take longer (than 2008) before "final
decisions" can be made. The process will likely be evolutionary where we
decide next steps after seeing how a previous attempt behaves. The LCTPC
collaboration should draw up a document outling the ideas.
2b.More on the LP electronics and endplate. Ties gave a status report
on the LP fieldcage (prototype) ideas. A meeting was held with U.Hamburg
technical people earlier the same day to work out some of the details.
Dan is modifying his endplate design to match the 80cm diameter. The
region near the gas-amplification plane is sensitive to Gem-Micromegas
differences and must be better understood. Martin Killenberg showed ideas
at the Paris meeting two weeks ago and should to Desy to meeting with the
FC responsibles, so that this question can be resolved as quickly as
possible.
