<p class="MsoNormal">1. Double 1 mm MMG (only) detectors, Ar+isobutane(10%), and common cathode (maybe, should be checked).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">2. But the best - SciFibers to solve all problems (but with an additional R&D, bending fibers in front of sensors).<o:p></o:p></p>

an update a week later on Thursday 28<sup>th</sup> after at the Tracking WG meeting.

<p class="m-1818680466743826270xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">The message from the project is clear: They reject the hybrid GEM-uRWELL option as a choice for ePIC uRWELL trackers and ask us to provide timeline for R&D completion for the standard 3 mm drift
gap as well as 1-mm (or 2 mm) thin gap single amplification uRWELL alternative with heavy gas.
