The electronics needed to implement the centrality trigger and to provide the various control and gating signals for the detectors will be obtained through BNL (HEEP). As noted previously, the responsibility for commissioning the centrality trigger rests with the MIT/UMASS groups. All of the other detector groups (and the D/A group) will , of course, be involved in the overall experiment control and gating system.
We estimate that 100 k$ will be needed in FY 92 and 80 k$ in FY 93 for BNL (HEEP) to build the centrality trigger and equipment control and gating system.
