Development of Extruded Scintillator and Single-Bit Tracking Calorimetry.

摘要

The R&D activities funded in part by this grant have been successfully concluded. Some adjust-ments had to be made to the course anticipated in the original proposal. These were necessitated to a large extent by external factors, such as changes in demands for different geometries, and rapid progress in the integration of the silicon-based photodetectors. However, internal factors like improvements in our own understanding the behavior of the extrusion line and that of the extruded scintillator strips also played a role. The table below summarizes some important milestones. These are in accord with the projections in reports submitted in prior years. In the present document we focus on the work done since the last report.
