The meetings at CERN• We are encouraged to submit an upgrade R&D proposal ASAP.
– Internal review by an appointed committee: takes a few months.– Then a few weeks to allow other groups to join.– Focus on next year – producing a technical design report.
• Make FTKSim available to others.• Compare FTK and software tracking.• How are b-tag efficiencies correlated across levels?
– I think the last two bullets are not very important or at least derivative. More sophisticated algorithms can be carried out with FTK because more L2 time is available.
– What does matter is• Track efficiency• Impact-parameter resolution• Effect of the minimum PT of tracks• Effect of limiting the cone size for tracking
• Need current level-2 timing for 4-jet events.

Upgrade R&D Proposal• Introduction
– Importance of trigger flexibility, robustness, redundancy, operating margin– Importance of 3rd-generation and the problem of its QCD background– FTK: provides full tracking with high quality helix parameters @ L2 start– Give a few physics examples (briefly).– We propose to prepare a technical design report.
• Participating Institutions:– So far: Chicago, Illinois, Pisa– Seek additional participation?
• U.S.: Berkeley (Beate)• Italy: Frascati, Rome, Pavia, …
• Topic & Goal, etc.:– FTK: where it fits in, data flow, how it works, dual-output HOLA in hand– What this proposal covers: developing the TDR

TDR tasks (with dates & # of people)• Complete and document physics studies during R&D proposal
consideration.• Complete FTK simulator• Study performance vs. luminosity• Data-path specification for 1034
• Determine size of AM• Specs for each board: DF (strips & pixels), DO, AM, fitters• Specify output format for ROBINs• Physical layout: fibers, crates, cables• Firmware needed• Software needed: initialization, readout, monitoring• Resources needed for design, construction & testing,
commissioning, operating.
