Edinburgh RICH Upgrade Plans: Advancing LHCb Involvement and Electronics Development

The Edinburgh Particle Physics community is actively involved in enhancing the RICH detector for the LHCb experiment. Key contributors, including Steve Playfer and Pete Clarke, bring expertise in hardware and electronics. The Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA) aims to strengthen collaboration among Scottish universities, focusing on experimental and theoretical advancements. A proposal submitted in 2008 is pending funding agency approval, with decisions expected in early 2009. The project emphasizes development in electronics, including photon detector facilities and advanced read-out systems.
