05 April 2013 U.S. ATLAS Electronics Meeting at BNL 2

Muon New Small Wheels: approved at Oct 2012 CB; now following up on milestones, e.g. full size Micromegas (2x1 m2), sTGC trigger demonstrator, etc. TDR in May

FTK: approved at March 2012 CB; vertical slice tested parasitically in 2012-2013 run;simulation for TDR (physics case) on critical path

Consolidating a (coherent) physics case for above projects is one of most crucial/urgentaspects in view of TDRs; presently hampered by severe lack of effort, in all of software developments, validation, performance/physics studies, as well as by computing resources more involvement also from the upgrade community is needed efforts being organized to increase synergies with Physics/CP groups

LAr (higher-granularity readout for trigger): IDR and kick-off in January; approved by EB for endorsement at Friday CB

TDAQ (LVL1, HLT/DAQ, trigger/online software, etc.): IDR and kick-off in January; approved by EB for endorsement at Friday CB

AFP: IDR and kick-off in Sept 2012 following up on milestones (e.g. project organization, consolidation of physics case) CB approval in 2014

Upgrade: Phase-1 projects
