Conclusions: 2 PMs allow to obtain the target resolution At first order, the resolution is limited by the number of photoelectrons (light output from scintillator, quantum efficiency of PM, coupling

15 Conclusions: 2 PMs allow to obtain the target resolution At first order, the resolution is limited by the number of photoelectrons (light output from scintillator, quantum efficiency of PM, coupling scintillator- PM[2 ], which has 39 mm dia. active area) At second order, the slew rate could be used to improve the resolution in sll signal regime: we have demonstrated that amplification recovers the timing resolution. 2 PMs can supply 100uA - ximum- current ( 10uA for 1.5 PMs) 2 PMs lifetime correspond to 2.3 years at the event rate of gain of 6x10 5. An increase of a factor 2 can be easily obtained. To be done: - First systetic tests of single element of TC started in the run (May, 31 June, 12) and will continue in the Frascati BTF Finalize the design of TC and integration with DC 50x39 mm 39x39 mm 15
