Dear Tipp2014,

I didn't type in all the authors for our abstract when I submitted it before the 1st deadline as it seemed so lengthy. I did, however, send mail at that time requesting some aid in adding them.

I really would like to add them- I feel badly that they're not listed (it was just too much for me to enter all the information- I apologize). Would it be possible to open it so that now I can? I think it will be easier now, as almost all the names are probably already in the CERN db. I really need to do so- it's not proper for me to have only me and Elagin. I've attached the abstract with the names, and am copying it below as well. Many thanks, and apologies, Henry Abstract for TIPP2014 Version 1.0 Jan 28, 2014

Abstract ________

We present the design for the `Frugal Tile', an all-glass MCP-PMT with an active area of 400 square centimeters. The LAPPD glass tile module was designed to be simple, with: a) a hermetic package made of top and bottom plates and a rectangular sidewall, each made of water-jet-cut plate glass; b) an internal stack consisting of 2 glass capillary plates functionalized with Atomic Layer Deposition and 3 glass grid spacers made from waterjet-cut plate glass; and a getter assembly that drops into place. Features of the design are: no pins penetrating the envelope; c) an internal HV divider implemented by resistive coatings on the MCP's and spacers; d) RF-stripline anodes silkscreened on the bottom plate with an analog bandwidth above 1.5 GHz for good spatial and temporal resolution; e) mechanical rigidity provided by atmospheric pressure; and f) modular design for covering large areas.

The tile is one component of a modular system in which an array of four tiles sits on a 1800-square-cm `Tray' section that contains the ground plane of the RF strip-lines and supports the waveform sampling and data-acquisition electronics that reads out the strips.
