1. Opera Collaboration Meeting Hamburg, 3.-5. Juni 2004 Caren Hagner Precision Tracker: Schedule and Funding Issues 1 SM = 96 Modules 1 Module: 4 planes, each plane 12 tubes First 2 Modules

2. Opera Collaboration Meeting Hamburg, 3.-5. Juni 2004 Caren Hagner Funding Present BMBF funding period: jan2004 – june2006 Uni Hamburg receives funds for march2004-june2006 ~ 1.05 Mio Euro (asked in 2004 for 1.6 Mio Euro: invest 900k, salaries 520k + travel & transp.) Money flow from BMBF: 2004: 370kEuro 2005: 490kEuro 2006: 190kEuro this is the cost for 1 SM (~2/3 of full material cost, ~1/2 salaries, 1/2 tt) (Updated) need to complete full detector in time: 330kEuro (Material) + 370kEuro (man power) = 700kEuro Note: No funding for full gas system (only development & prototype) HERA-B muon gs ?

3. Opera Collaboration Meeting Hamburg, 3.-5. Juni 2004 Caren Hagner Time schedule Within present funding scheme ( 1 SM in 2006) 2004: starting phase in August if possible: first 20 modules ready end of 2004 2005: full massproduction (60 modules) start of installation in GS (80 modules) commissioning of the system 2006: production of the rest (16 modules) installation of the rest (16 modules) in GS commissioning

4. Opera Collaboration Meeting Hamburg, 3.-5. Juni 2004 Caren Hagner Option for full detector All material bought in 2004 (for production in 05) In 2004 we plan: Still essential design tests to perform (injection mold pieces, cleaning procedure, verify resolution,…) if ok, then mass ordering very difficult to accelerate in 2004 Additional man power in 2005 to speed up mass production: production speed 2modules/week (4 persons) can be increased to 4modules/week (8 persons) further increase only with new production line
