Description
The rst commercially-produced LAPPDTM photodetectors[1] are now available
from Incom, Inc[2]. An informal collaboration of Fermilab, Incom, and the University
of Chicago (UofC) has been developing plans to optimize the timing resolution and
to characterize the performance and life-time of several of the newly available Incom
modules at the Fermilab Testbeam Facility . These modules will contain the entire
beam prole. If successful this could lead to an upgrade of the Fermilab Testbeam
Facility Time of Flightsystem to four stations of LAPPDs for particle ID. The goals
are thus two-fold: 1) a substantial upgrade to particle identication at the Fermilab
Test Beam Facility; and 2) a validation of a new commercially-available technology for
future detectors at the Energy and Luminosity Frontiers. System designs for one, two,
and four LAPPD modules and expected TOF performance will be discussed.
