Simulations/Reconstruction Ed Brash/Richard Jones/Maciej Swat Lehman review preps

GRID Coordinate with Lab G. Fox

DAQ Coordinate with Lab/Tim Smith?

System Requirements

Funding

Coordinated NSF/DOE supplementals CDRF and ISTC - US/Russia Joint Canada/Mexico/US Requests for R&D to JLab Theory requests Computer science

Collaboration Commitment

Nature of MOU’s Physicists Technical Staff Other experiments

Adding/Removing Collaborators Guidelines Implementation

Equipment that Could be Completed

Magnet End-plate holes? Energize at IUCF?

LGD Evaluate glass/pm’s Frame, wall, monitor Electronics

Projects that could be completed soon

Development of amplitude parameterization

isobar model Deck effect unitarity, analyticity, particular attention to incident photons

Equipment Issues

Tracking Design & manpower? Vertex region

Calorimetry Barrel readout Prototypes Upstream

Particle I.D. Re-visit Cerenkov TOF - OK Magnetic issue Forward/Cal - TOF - Cerenkov package

Infrastructure

Building Can we go to architect?

Beam Beam line design Tagger design Tagger magnet Coherent multiple scattering?

Subsystem Integration Use BarBar as paradigm

Schedule

Current schedule is painfully slow Build the Hall and beamline before upgrade Investigate physics at lower energy Stage equipment installation

Analysis/Phenomenology

Amplitude Analysis Understand ambiguities Improve algorithms/throughput Analysis of extant data

Phenomenology Critique of isobar model Model for backgrounds Understand ‘theory’ systematic errors

Conclusions

There’s a lot to do

Let’s get busy
