Decision Criteria and Risks
Timing - Redundant station efficiency within 20ns > 99%
Rate => overall Muon System efficiency > 95%
Cross Talk - B-›?X eff. deterioration < 2%
Ageing - Limit: less then 1C/cm for global ageing
Stability and Uniformity - Qualitative statement on reliability
Flexibility of System - Adaptation to unexpected modifications
FE-chip performance - sensitivity, time prop., radiation hardness
Number of physical channels - Cost
Development of appropriate chip - time scale
Accommodation in FE-architecture
