Introduction

• Mitch Newcomer (U.Penn)

Demonstator for Smart Pixel Redout using Smart ASICs with attached pixel arrays.

• Corrinne Mills (University of Illinois)

The smartpixels project has shown using simulation [1] that we can reject clusters from low-pT tracks using the cluster shape and ML in the readout ASIC. Other work is underway to test regression algorithms that would output track angles instead of (or in addition to) pixel hits, and explore low-power analog algorithms. The algorithm development, ASIC development, and simulation work is being mostly funded through money dedicated to AI/ML and/or ASICs. We would like to build a demonstrator by hybridizing an ASIC with a pixel sensor of the appropriate size and pitch and measuring the angular resolution of these devices, but it will require separate funding.

Particle ID by time-of-flight

• Roger Rusak (University of Minnesota)

Development of a TOF detector system for TOF with 1-3 pico seconds time resolution.

Potential for a RDC4 -RDC11 collaborative submission

• Matt Wetstein (Iowa State University)

The success of precision timing sub-detector systems will depend on capable front end sensors and readout ASIC's well integrated with multiple co-developed custom detector services to provide reliable monitoring, precision time marking, support for innovative triggering techniques and high bandwidth data management and throughput. There are multiple areas / layers of overlap between RDC4 and RDC11 that will need to be developed for successful deployment of a Precision Timing Detector.
