Re: Calorimeter Review Talk

[Elton Smith <elton@jlab.org>]

Hi Alex,

Thanks for posting your talk. I took a quick look at it and have the
following thoughts about issues that are not discussed. We can think about
how/whether to include them (here in random order):

- need for position information
  - requirements for the granularity of the measurements

- bcal timing, both for position resolution as well as tof

- Background environment
  - EM rates
  - combinatorical background from entire hadronic cross section (you have
    an example of a single reaction)

- Challenges:
  - readout in the magnetic field
  - minimizing material in the active area (and conversions in front of
    the calorimeters)
  - gaps in coverage?


Cheers, Elton.
