1. Mini-Summary of the CAEN 10-12th March Meeting
Lolly Pollacco

2. Towards the SMALL Picture
Good turnout to the meeting from most groups.
Although lots of time for discussion not enough audience questions & remarks.
Towards the BIG Picture of the system.
General well defined overview of Soft & Hard
Inclusion of the PC farm in the project
Needs more work on the BIG picture – almost there.
InBo
Inclusion of SWIM (SWIch Module)
Removal of the InBo
Need re-tasking of this element
Towards the SMALL Picture
Needs working on the ‘connections’ between the different tasks engineers & physicsts.
Meetings/ Visits/…
Gas Amplification
Study of the GEM, Wire & MICROMEGAS for the sparking at high gain when different energy losses in the gas are experienced  GANIL, NSCL & CENBG
What can we consider on the electronics?
An urgent R&D not within GET is required.
Study of the AGET when using wire. Can we do without introducing any changes in the PA?
Resistive pads?
What is needed on the electronics?  NSCL

3. SYSTEM AsAs AGET  what ADC? 10, 12 or 14 bits?
what pulser do the physicists want?
ADC transfer rates to CoBo
AGET
 The physicists need to confirm the final simulated values.
Study of the option for the 2p-decay to have a switchable SCA.
Question of filters for different current stimulus as a fn of angle of the trajectory has to be studied by the physicists. This part of the NEW simulation TASK.
CoBo
Have difficulties in defining the through-put of CoBo and hence it is well defined structure. Simulations are requested.
The condensing of the data needs to be better defined and tests to be done.
ADC transfer rates from AsAd to CoBo – defn of cable-lengths etc & electronic to go with – an example of possible problems
MUTANT-BEM
Multi-level trigger definition.
Simulations are requested.
Possibility to introduce BUTIS for the system
GET-SOFT
Structured Tasks are immerging between the different participating labs.
Need to define the calibration tasks and the like so that the physicists can start working with this TASK.

4. Tasks Tasking & Re-Tasking MoU  Urgent request by most Labs Finance
Some tasks need to be re-enforced to keep the required schedule eg CoBo
GET-SOFT, SWIM & CoBo need to issue a detailed schedule and possible re-division of tasks
New Task: need to be defined and worked on
Simulation of the Physics
Simulation of the amplification-electronics up to the numeric parts.
New TASK: Electro-Mechanical Establishing the need of expertise & specs.
Cooling,
EM Immunity,
Magnetic field influence,
Filtering,
Grounding philosophy
Anal logic X-talk levels
Numeric error tolerances
Calibration TASK Need to define this task & work on it  Physicists & Engineers
Security TASK of the system  Physicists & Engineers
These elements will be revisited in the telephone meetings
MoU  Urgent request by most Labs
Try and have a version by May-June 2009
Finance
ANR results not available yet  alternatives envisaged
Scientific council (French) for IN2P3
CSTS (French) for CEA/IRFU
DOE & NSF for NSCL (R&D provided by labs)
JSPS for Riken & Kyoto (R&D provided by labs possible)
Not too reassuring particularly for the French participants without the ANR.
MoU is required
Next meetings
Possibly this CAEN will be followed before a year. To be decided.
A Management Meeting to be planed as soon as the ANR is officially announced
Might consider having a restrained meeting at GSI in April-May 2009 – tr see (Time-stamp, trigger etc)
