LHC LUMINOSITY INSTRUMENTATION REVIEW
28th JANUARY 2003 in Bldg 864 (Prévessin site) - first floor
Objectives:
1. To
review the designs and development status of the two proposed technologies for
LHC luminosity instrumentation:
a) High pressure gas ionization chamber
b) CdTe detector
2. To
determine if a clear decision can be made as to which technology to implement in
the LHC.
a) If a clear decision can be made, make a list of recommendations and action items to complete the design, development and implementation.
b) If a clear decision cannot be made, determine the essential R&D questions which must be answered for each technology to allow a clear decision to be mde; establish a schedule for addressing these questions; select a time for a follow-up review at which the decision will be made.
3. To
evaluate the merits of implementing the luminosity instrumentation in 4 vs. 2
IRs, and in the TAS and TAN vs. TAN only.
4. Review
the physics process selected for luminosity monitoring (forward neutron flux).
Is this the best choice ? Will it work for heavy ions ? Study of background
signals ?
5. Plan
collaboration activities to address the action required by 2a or 2b; 3 and 4.
