\subsubsection{WP1}
We have a vacuum chamber and Si detectors, which were used for a
similar measurement at PSI in 2009. The
vacuum chamber is being tested now at University of Washington
(UW). The two exiting Si detectors are also being
tested at UW. A
possibility to prepare another set of Si detectors is being
considered. Amplifiers for the existing SI detects are available. The
Osaka University (OU) group is preparing DAQ system based on a PSI
standard data acquisition system (MIDAS). Monte Carlo
simulations necessary to optimize detector configuration is undergoing
at OU and University College London (UCL).
Data will be analyzed independently at Osaka University, University of
Washington, and University College London, using standard analysis libraries
and our own analysis routines. There is no special requirement on data analysis
support to PSI.
\subsubsection{WP2}
PNNL has a number of HPGe detectors available; one appropriate for the
experiment will be chosen and tested in advance. A mechanical cooling
system is currently under test at PNNL as well and is expected to be
used at PSI. Due to the desired high rate and resolution requirements
for the raw HPGe pulse data, PNNL will provide its own DAQ system for
data collection. The raw data will be provided to the other DAQ
system if desired, and the coordination and timestamps between the two
systems will be handled carefully.
HPGe data will be analyzed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
using standard analysis libraries and our own analysis routines.
There is no special requirement on data analysis support to PSI.
\subsubsection{WP3}
As mentioned above, we plan to use existing neutron detectors and
readout electronics provided by the MuSun collaboration. We are also
considering to build a small neutron detectors, with optimal
resolution. We plan to calibrate the detectors before the final
experiment and have started to study and test unfolding methods.
