PhaseII discussion

→ Europe/Zurich

1) ITK Power supply : Ming-Lee
   - ATLAS wants the input voltage source and the output voltage source to
     have separate grounding
     - such commerical PS will be expensive, and only few channels per PS.

   - Due to requireing of different groundings, it is not easy to have very precise
     control of the output voltage. Most commerical product can get the precision to ~2%.
     Ming-Lee aims to get to ~1-2% precision.

   - Ming-Lee has some idea how to build such multi-channel PS 
     - plan to start buying component parts and put together a single channel prototype.
     - Try to have a prototype in late April or early May
       - We should have the next discussion then
     - We should also give a presentation at the ITK PhaseII electronics meeting first
       before we report at the ITK week in June (starting on June 26).


2) HGTD
   - sensors
     - Chih-Hsun mentioned CMS is also planning to have a timing detector and
       both ATLAS and CMS may use the same sensor technology (LGAP)
       - NCU and NTU groups may join in the sensor development
       - maybe a good idea that Taiwan (AS+NCU+NTU) join together in the sensor development
         for ATLAS and CMS

     - Chih-hsun sent an email to Suen about this idea.

   - optical link :
     - Suen is collaborating with SMU about this. Not sure how both groups
       will collaborate and what is the plan.

   - simulation studies of pile up background
     - Song-Ming has started on this, writing code to differentiate jets from
       hard interactions and from pileup. There are samples produced with upto
       pileup of 200 interactions per bunch crossing.

There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
