      Facing LDC questions and planning the work

      The questions attached to each talk are extracfts from the LDC scetch document. They are meant as guidelines for the speakers, but should not limit the speaker from raising additional points.

      • 08:30

      • 08:50
        TPC issues 10m
        How large should the TPC be? How close should the ECAL end cap be to the endplate of the TPC? How much material in front of the end cap is acceptable? How much material can be tolerated in front of the barrel calorimeter?
        Speaker: Steve Aplin
        more information
      • 09:00
        Forward Tracking 10m
        In the forward direction, the FTD is currently a system of pixels and disks. How important is its material. How stable is forward tracking? What are the important performance goals for tracking in the forward region?
        Speaker: Klaus Moenig
        more information
      • 09:10
        SI-based tracking in LDC 10m
        The SIT was introduced for track merging and for V0 efficiency reasons. These studies should be redone. Is the current SIT and SET layout optimal? Which role does the material play in the overall track reconstruction?

        more information
      • 09:20
        Forward tracking and the TPC 15m
        How important is the FCH behind the TPC? Do we need stand-alone tracking capability in there, or is a simple device which adds one or two hits sufficient? Which technology is optimal for the FCH?
        Speaker: Lee Sawyer
        more information
      • 09:30

        Calorimetry and gaps 10m
        How important are gaps between the calorimeter components? How important are gaps between the calorimeters and other components such as the TPC? What is the penalty for a round TPC inside an octagonal ECAL, if any? How efficient is the TPC for detecting backscattered particles. How important are these? What is the optimal transition barrel – end cap done? Is the current scheme of a long barrel in front of the end cap optimal? Are there alternatives?

      • 17:10
        The B-field and the tracker 20m
        What quality of the field do we need in the TPC, SIT, and other detectors? How can we measure and monitor the field distortions at the required level of accuracy? Can the large distortions in the large crossing angle be accounted for? Can control samples be used to improve the knowledge of the field map? Does it make sense to eliminate the plug, at the cost of a shorter magnet and thus a less homogeneous field?
