6. future upgrades Needed for : (I) HI systems with at 1-2 AGeV A tot >80 (II) HADES @ FAIR (8AGeV) (III) High intenisty pion beams RPC ( inner time-of-flight) → essential for HI, important for elementary channels with strangeness production (  /K separation) (FP6 construction -> P. Fonte) Forward hodoscope → essential for p+d, important for HI (FP6 construction-> H. Stroebele) Pion tracking → essential for  +p,  +HI DAQ → essential for HI (FP6 construction-> M. Traxler)

7. HADES1-TOFINO replacement by RPC TOFINO:(time-of-flight between 18 0 -45 o) –4 paddles per sector only –limited resolution (450 ps) –insufficient granularity for HI TOFINO target RPC: 180 cells/sector (double hit<10% for 1.0 AGeV Au+Au) time resolution < 100 ps Granularity: 1080 cells

8. operational parameter matched to HADES overall performance granularity: double-hit probability below 10% resolution: 100 ps (s) or better rate capability: up to 600 Hz/cm2 (at forward) efficiency: above 95% for single hits concept of the design: shielded single cells 4 gaps with commercial glass 2mm thick common gas box sector-wise customized read-out: FEE (preamp, discriminator, TimeOverThreshold) + TDC (128 channels) based on HPTDC & CPU with fast ethernet RPC for HADES Gas mixture: 98.5% C 2 H 2 F 4 + 1% SF 6 + 0.5% i-C 4 H 10 Potential = 3 kV All full-size components produced and tested 10.05 @GSI 30 months duration workplane details in talk of P. Fonte

9. HADES2-Forward hodoscope Collective observables for dilectron production in HI collisions (flow) event plane determination measurement of reaction centrality Spactator tagging for d+p reactions direct comparison of dielectron production in pp and p+n reactions Upgrade of old and well known KAOS FH: inspection of detectors (380 modules), new reflecting cover for light guides, mainframe modifications new digital (TDC) electronic – same as used for the RPC new HV and slow control system Total project duration 12 months → see talk of H. Stroebele for workplan details Acceptance for charge particles with  < 8 0

10. HADES3 – DAQ upgrade (1) Exchange of CPUs for event building for more efficient transport of large events. x86 CPUs running under LINUX and featuring GIGAbit Ethernet successfully tested in the last Ar+KCl beam time (2) New Image Processing Unit for Time of Flight and RPC detector essential for heavy systems (A tot >80) with large multiplicities (3) New Matching Unit for faster processing of second level trigger in large multiplicity environment essential for heavy systems (A tot >80 ) with large multiplicities Final goal is to reach 20 KHz LVL1 trigger rate (presently 7kHz) Total duration 26 months → see talk of M. Traxler for workplan details
