Scope of the 1997 detector orders
_____________________________________

	A discussion was held to try and understand how many detectors would be
	needed and could be afforded by ATLAS in 1997. The requirements are -

	- to have sufficient detectors to build modules
		- >120 barrel detectors
		- >120 (=3x40) forward detectors
	- to get detectors from as many potential suppliers as possible (3?)
	- to irradiate >10detectors of each batch

	An example of a specific scenario :
		Company A - 2 x 50 barrel detectors
			  - 2 x 50 forward detectors
		Company B - 1 x 50 barrel detectors
		Company C - 1 x 50 forward (inner ring) detectors
