(Meeting between the NA35 and WA80 collaborations to complete a letter of intent proposing a joint experiment to be performed when lead beams become available at CERN, Frankfurt, W. Germany and Geneva, Switzerland, June 28--July 7, 1989): Foreign trip report
The traveler participated in a meeting between the NA35 and WA80 collaborations for the purpose of completing a letter of intent to the CERN SPS Committee, setting out our plans for a joint proposal to use the lead beams that may be available in 1993 from the CERN SPS. The main thrusts of the joint proposal are large acceptance and particle identification for all charged particles in the forward hemisphere and precision detection of photons over a restricted range of rapidity. The principal elements of the experiment are a set of 5 TPCs and 4 RICH counters to accomplish the first objective and an array of 3000 BGO crystals to accomplish the second. The travelers then spent one week at CERN working with H.-A. Gustafsson of Lund University on a redesign and upgrading of the trigger for the WA80 experiment. The major changes proposed are full programmability of the trigger and installation of a trigger supervision system, including a digital oscilloscope and a high-bandwidth logic analyzer, to set up and monitor the WA80 trigger.
