The research and development will be carried out in FY 91 and FY 92 at a cost of 20 k$. The counter system itself will also be constructed in FY 92 at a cost of 20 k$. However, the electronics and fast electronics for the trigger counters will be built partly in FY 92 and FY 93. The costs for these will be listed in the next section.
Although we expect to obtain the electronic modules from BNL (HEEP), the responsibility for the major task of designing and commissioning the centrality trigger counter will be borne by the MIT/UMASS groups.
