Where we are? Needs

- the prototype works

- the first estimates on the time

resolution using 60Co source will

be obtained in the next couple of

weeks

Short term plans

- In beam tests @ GSI-Darmsatdt

April-May within FOPI

Collaboration - to be discussed

- 2 -2.5 GHz scope

- one more TDC2228A

- two 2249W ADCs

- 2-3 CF4000 discriminators
