After tests with cosmic rays, the NE104 scintillator was selected for the
internal scintillator barrel (TOFINO), providing light output in excess of
50 pe/mip for the thickness chosen (2.0mm). Two HPMT samples
prototypes are under tests providing a gain and
a 50 ps time resolution. Delivery of scintillators,
lightguides, HPD and preamplifier is by summer 1995, and final assembly is by
November 1995.
Delivery of about 100 silicon wafers for the ISIM/OSIM detector
is due from CSEM (Neuchatel, France) by April
1995. Readout hybrids prototypes (by IDEA, Oslo, Norway) are being tested,
delivery of the full batch is due by fall 1995. Precision glueing of the wafers
on support frames will be carried out at University of Bari, while strip
microbonding will start in Fall 1995. Delivery of all readout electronics is
scheduled before end 1995. Two full modules will be ready for test at CERN with
m.i.p. in September 1995, and at TRIUMF with low-energy pions.
