SCT review




             Provisional Agenda of SCT Technical Reviews
             ___________________________________________

Please find below the provisional agendas for the SCT reviews to be held
at CERN 2/12/95-6/12/95 ie immediately after the ATLAS week.

The purpose of the reviews will be to monitor the progress made on the project
and to aid in the decision making required to come to a baseline. In general
topics will be covered by reviewers. Names will be circulated in the next
2 weeks.

Feedback on the agendas should be sent to me and/or the session convenors

Overall Aim :
____________

The SCT Electronics Review will take place on 3-December-1995.  It is
anticipated that the review will take one whole day.  The focus of this
review will be the three proposed readout schemes:  analogue, digital,
binary.  This should include the on-detector and off-detector elements
which contribute to the performance and cost comparisons that will be the
basis of choosing a baseline architecture next year.  The primary purposes
of this review are:

     1)  Make note of the present status of each of the three readout
       schemes.

     2)  Review the plans for each and make sure that all aspects of the
       proposed readout system are covered by the plan.

     3)  Review specifics issues that have been raised about any of the
       schemes

     4)  Establish a standard for comparing the three schemes.

Item (4) is especially important if we are going to make an objective
comparison and the best decisions at the two reviews planned for 1996.

Prior to the review, a table of specifications and a breakdown of
components to be costed will be circulated to the people developing each of
the three schemes .  It is important that these tables be filled in prior
to the review.  Then the contents of the tables can be discussed (and
debated?) at the review itself.  The hope is that the comparisons can then
be made on the same parameters, using the same criteria.

The agenda below outlines topics to be covered at the review.  The
discussion periods will review the performance and cost tables already
prepared.  I don't yet have names of people to make the presentations which
are called out.  I hope those names will be supplied by the people working
on each scheme.

                    Agenda - Module Session
                   _______________________

Convenors : Nobu Unno   (unno@kekvax.kek.jp )
__________  Tony Carter (aac@vxcern)


Overall Aim :
____________


  Since the time allocation is about 3 hrs , the review will be limited to
the following critical issues (and measurements)


Agenda :
_______

(1) Thermal measurements

  - rphi style                          KEK     30min
  - Z style                             RAL     30min

  This is the main item of this review.  We should get the (close-to-) final
data presented here and it would be desirable if this issue is closed.
It should be reminded that not only one module but also reproducibility
(in several modules) is required.
  A second thought is we may need one more turn-around to measure the
thermal properties using irradiated detectors by March/April review.

(2) Thermo-mechanical analysis

  - Z and rphi styles                   G.Tappern?      20min
  - Distortion measurement plan         Oxford?         20min

  We should plan to measure the distortion by cooling the modules by the
March or April review.


(3) Electrical noises -         Review by ????          30min


(4) Radiation length -          Review by ????          20min

  Radiation length of the beamtest modules, and that of the proposed
final module.

(5) Forward Modules   -     Review by ????          20min

  First ideas on Forward module design. How much is common to the barrel?
How much additional RD is required?
