Remaining work/Summary

• Front-end TDC straightforward• 128 channel/FPGA resources?

• Combining individual counter hits• Event time estimator• Full GEANT4 simulation needed (initially)• TSIM code/studies needed

• Just now have front-end hardware for first counter

– can start development hereafter
