Here is what the PPG has requested on detectors/instrumentation.
Clarification on intention of questions:
- We would like to get an impression of performance, maturity and time lines of projects.
- We would like to further develop the landscape of strategic detector R&D and its interface to experiment-specific work, with the ECFA Detector Roadmap as the starting point.
- We do not intend to perform reviews or comparisons of full collider detector concepts.
The PPG requests that the following information and/or specifications (instead of “benchmarks”) be given for each proposal submitted to the ESPPU dealing with detector instrumentation.
Each project, be it on individual detection technologies or on devices/systems (tracker, calorimeter,...), should address the following points
• What are the key performance indicators (KPIs) of your technology and which performance does your technology achieve in terms of these KPIs?
• What is the current technology readiness level (TRL, in the spirit of ISO norm 16290:2013) of your technology? How do you expect the technology to scale from lab prototypes to full detector systems (concerning mechanical integration, powering, cooling, readout)? If applicable: please start from the assessment by the ECFA detector roadmap and report updates. • What are status and time scales for the project? At which point in time have you achieved or do you intend to achieve: proof of principle, concept validation (by full simulation), initial prototype, lab test, beam test, “slice” of full system, full system? Cover hardware, software and firmware aspects.
• Which DRD collaboration(s) are the most relevant to your technology? Is your technology already covered in one or more of them?
• What is the environmental impact of your technology/device/system and which measures are taken to reduce it?
