1. Evaluation of long Flexible Printed Circuits for the Barrel Time-of-Flight Detector in the ePIC Experiment

Airi Okuno (Nara women's university)

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) ePIC experiment will employ a Barrel Time-of-Flight (BTOF) detector based on AC-LGAD sensors, which provide excellent time and spatial resolution. The BTOF extends approximately 260 cm along its longitudinal direction. The full length of the BTOF is covered by two FPCs, each approximately 130 cm long. The FPCs are required to have a low material budget in order...

2. From AC-LGAD Time Resolution to PID Reach at the EIC: Test-Beam and TCT Laser Studies for the ePIC Barrel Time-of-Flight

Kanato Matsutani (Hiroshima University)

Abstract
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory will collide polarized electrons with protons and nuclei to explore the partonic structure of matter. Hadron identification in the ePIC barrel relies on a time-of-flight layer (BTOF) of strip-type AC-coupled Low-Gain Avalanche Diodes (AC-LGADs) with 500 µm pitch and 1 cm long strips, with a per-hit timing requirement...
