8. NLC – The Next Linear Collider Project Colorado Univ. – Boulder, Jan., 2004 LCD-ALCPG New Readout Equipment We have LabView Installed. University money. We have purchased readout from National Instruments. We are calibrating the ADCs. Learning the power of LabView. We already know we have problems with calorimeter; low pulse height from cosmic muons. It is time to have fun investigating. A lot of work in the near future.

26. NLC – The Next Linear Collider Project Colorado Univ. – Boulder, Jan., 2004 LCD-ALCPG What have we learned so far  Loosing light from curved (2.5 cm. radius) fibers. Our colleagues from Italy have indicated fibers need to be annealed. We have an oven. Will study this problem next.  We can gang 3 or 5 layers together without much loss in resolution. We need to study this more carefully for 1-2 GeV photons.

27. NLC – The Next Linear Collider Project Colorado Univ. – Boulder, Jan., 2004 LCD-ALCPG Issues in Resolution  Dynamic Range 0.5-250 GeV. Can we achieve good energy resolution over this spectrum in the electromagnetic calorimeter device. Number of readout bits needed.  Can we achieve good spatial directional resolution in the low energy end of the spectrum.

29. NLC – The Next Linear Collider Project Colorado Univ. – Boulder, Jan., 2004 LCD-ALCPG Continue, What Needs to be Studied We need to develop Extruded Scintillator techniques with the Fermilab folks to determine whether we can maintain thickness dimensions to within a fraction of a mm. Can we inscribe grooves 5 cm apart in Extruded Scintillator and can we maintain lateral dimensions to a mm. We need to develop Pattern Recognition and Energy Flow algorithms that use our different geometrical arrangement. We are now starting this effort.

30. NLC – The Next Linear Collider Project Colorado Univ. – Boulder, Jan., 2004 LCD-ALCPG Continue, What Needs to be Studied We need to compare our algorithms with those of the silicon based study to determine cost benefit alternatives. Study electronics readout; APDs, HPDs,VLPCs. We have started a collaboration with Fermilab’s electronics group. This requires cryogenic techniques we do not have. Are investigating collaborative arrangements with Fermilab to provide cryogenics help.
