11:00 → 13:00 Towards an ALCOR32-FEB board

Discussion on the needs, requirements, and feasibility of developing a temporary electronics board based on a wire-bonded ALCOR32-v2.1 chip. The session will consider whether such a solution can satisfy the mechanical and electrical requirements of a standard dRICH FEB, and assess its potential as an interim platform for testing and integration.

14:50 Funds

Discuss where to source funds for new MPW.
And funds also for packaging.
Overview of available funds and how to possibly proceed.
For instance we can use the funds that we have already for the pre-productions. But then we need to ask them again for next year.
Take decision.

15:10 Sub Judice

Overview of SJ funds, decide whether to redirect SJ funds for packaging into another activity.
For instance merge the funds and buy SiPM this year, then ask again next year.
This might be useful to avoid risk of losing money, but it is also critical because it needs action to start process for SiPM acquisition.
