• Silicon Vertex Tracker
• Organized by Laura Gonella, Ernst Sichtermann, Georg Viehhauser
• This workfest will take advantage of the fact that many people will be in-person to discuss common topics, including: SVT envelop and layout; Integration (services and cooling); Power, Data rate, Radiation estimates; AncASIC (functionality, prototype submission and testing); Simulations; EIC schedule and pre-TDR. We would then of course review progress in various SVT areas. At that point we expect first results from mechanical prototypes of IB curved layers, OB staves and disks, from FPC prototypes, and more results from cooling tests. We will also review design of MOSAIX and EIC-LAS, and testing of ITS3 ER1 sensors. And finally, we would like to advance powering and readout schemes, reviewing options for data transmission, specs and design of readout boards, grounding etc.
• ePIC Data: From Readout to Analysis
• Organized by Marco Battaglieri, Fernando Barbosa, Markus Diefenthaler, Jin Huang, Jeff Landgraf, Torre Wenaus
• A joint session between the DAQ and Electronics and Streaming Computing WGs. This session will provide an in-depth look at the data pipeline of the ePIC experiment, offering insights into the seamless data processing from detector readout through analysis. Although this approach has been successfully reviewed by experts, its details are not well known to the broader collaboration. Our goal is to foster a broader dialogue within the collaboration on our data and data flow, with this session serving as a catalyst for that discussion.
• Integration
• Organized by Prakhar Garg
• This workfest will be organized in two sessions. The first will include presentations from project engineers on the status of the integration of the ePIC detector subsystems and the overall technical design. The second will be for detector subsystems and concentrate on best-practices for detector grounding.
• AI/ML Workflows Tutorial
• Organized by S&C
• Tutorial on the use on AI/ML within the EICrecon framework.
• Tracking Projections/Resolution @ hpDIRC
• Organized by Matt Posik
• This workfest will concentrate on advancing our understanding of the angular resolution of track projections at the hPDIRC including integration of the BIC into ACTS and improving our understanding of the ACTS covariance matrix. The focus will be on making progress at the workfest and defining milestones for future progress.
• MPGD’s
• Organized by Kondo Gnanvo, Annalisa D’Angelo, Matt Posik, Francesco Bossu
• This workfest will focus on MPGD front-end electronics and software development.
• Exclusive, Diffraction and Tagging WG
• Organized by Raphael Dupre, Kong Tu
• At the current phase of the experiment, realistic physics simulations and performance checks against detectors are extremely important, which includes the sensitivity studies of our main physics program by the given machine and the ePIC detector. This will be a full day workfest on i) aligning the group on the technical details, unifying the methods and analysis algorithm on exclusive analyses, and ii) setting standard for feasibility study as well as the forthcoming publication.
