•Uncertainties in BHLUMI (S. Jadach)

- vacuum polarisation (precision improving)

- photon radiation (may be improved in future)

• At ILC we have a Luminosity spectrum – needs better understanding

how to tackle this!

News from theory

Bunch charge effects

Beamstrahlung and deflection in the bunch Coulomb field change the Bhabha polar angle distribution. (C. Rimbault) The effect in counting Bhabha events is several per mille – we need to control it on the 10-4 level

Diamond sensor studies

• Minsk University prepared a ‘working lab’, detailed study of sensor protoypes started (Igor)

•Studies of new sensors from FAP: sensors have similar features, but signal drops both with time and absorbed dose – why (Konstatin)

•Nice and stable response from single crystal (Christian) LumiCal simulations

•More realistic detector simulations (Bogdan,Michal, Jarek) - 14 bit ADC??

•First results from prague (Petr)- becoming part of the game

• systematics of geometric distorsions (Andrei, Ronen) - LumiCal must be centered around outgoing beam pipe - systematics from different magnetic fields??

• Background estimate for four-fermion final states (Mila) - seems we are safe ..

February 13. 2005 wlo@INP

•Progress of the laser displacement system (Wojtek)

• Discussions on electronics design and sensors, contributions from Alexandre, Hans … wait for the writeup of the experts

Hardware developments, position monitoring

Beam Diagnostics

•BeamCal is an important tool for Beam diagnostics, first results with realistic detector simulation (Andrei, Christian) -nothing from PhotoCal

The ‘priority one’ issues

•LumiCal and BeamCal: highly compact calorimeters (small RM, confined Showers)

•BeamCal: - rad. hard sensors - fast readout, digitisation, processing

•LumiCal: - high mechanical precison - mum alignment - interplay with theory - sensor quality, readout - novel technologies

Our next Duties

EUDET:-prepare your plans for EUDET, present a talk (take into account the previous page)-let me know, since I have to give a summary

Bangalore: two talks for two participnts, - design of the FR, with details about BeamCal - issues of Lumi measurementPRC:-report end of March the young committee: Christian, Mila, Ronen, Vladimir the experienced: Halina, Leszek, WolfgangLa, Woitek WL.Speaker for the open session: Ronen? ….

General remark

-It was a perfectly organised meeting-We learned a lot on Neutrino Physics (A Zalewska) Mining, deep underground restaurants …. thank you, Leszek, Woitek, Anna , Beata, Malgosia.. All the others (M. Jezabek, P. Malecki)
