Abstract

This is a memorandum of understanding between the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and experimenters from Fermilab, Caltech, University of Iowa, Argonne National Laboratory, Fairfield University, CERN, INFN Trieste/Udine, INFN Roma I, Shinshu University and the University of Cyprus who have committed to participate in beam tests to be carried out during the 2009/2010 MTBF program. The memorandum is intended solely for the purpose of providing a budget estimate and a work allocation for Fermilab, the funding agencies and the participating institutions. It reflects an arrangement that currently is satisfactory to the parties; however, it is recognized and anticipated that changing circumstances of the evolving research program will necessitate revisions. The parties agree to negotiate amendments to this memorandum which will reflect such required adjustments. The tests have the objective to continue the development of elements and techniques related to total absorption dual readout calorimetry. Until this time, the R&D program has focused on simulations and tests using cosmic rays. The purpose of the program outlined here is to continue this work using particle beams to accelerate the process and to subject the counters and readout electronics to operating intensities and backgrounds with well-defined beam conditions and/or tracking of incident particles. The work will use new prototype electronics developed at Fermilab[1] which will lead to the assembly of future large-scale integrated systems, which may be the subject for a future proposal. For the purpose of this work, the T-1004 experimenters will require limited space and resources and need not always have control of the beam.
