27 27 Tracklet Reconstruction TGEM Search one cluster for each time bin(the APV has 27 time bin; 26.7ns/tb) Calculate the x(y) of cluster using Center of gravity method for each selected time bin If the cluster number of one event >=3, fit these points to obtain the slope. x(y) v*time bin number Slope obtained from TGEM v is the TGEM drift velocity Meetings discussing the methods

28 28 Tracking Slope in x tgem_slopex1: using the method 1 to obtain slope02_x = (x 0 – x 2 ) / (z 0 – z 2 ) The thickness of ionization gap is ~ 1cm, so the resolution of slope provided by TGEM is consistent with TGEM’s spatial resolution

37 37 Last Committee report  1) Future presentations on this work would benefit from a written text summarizing the results and referencing the prior reports and milestones.  2) The Committee heard a number of proposals for forward tracking and PID, some using GEMs in a number of functions. It would be good to understand the extent to which these various efforts are in synergy, are mutually exclusive, utilize overlapping technology, or are in some sort of collaboration already.  3) To what extent is the TPC tracking sufficient for this as part of an electron ID system? Would additional tracking layers, as part of a larger GEM (or other) system, have some advantage? Is there room for such additional layers?  4) What is the optimization of TRD, including the number of measurements, efficiency vs rejection, and use of other tracking layers in the available space?  5) The ATLAS tracking uses silicon followed by a straw tube/TR system. Conceptually there is some relationship to the present proposal. Can you learn anything from the ATLAS experience to help you better understand the usefulness or design of the system proposed here?
