Budget Status and FY04 Requests Elton Smith Hall D Collaboration Meeting Dec 11-13, 2003
GlueX Budget Proposal for FY03 • Cardman suggests that we develop a budget proposal assuming a timely approval of CD-0 and • Alternate strategy if approvals are delayed
Contract Status • FIU: Contract awarded • JLab to purchase VLPC cassettes from Fermi • UConn: Computer equipment ordered • Need iteration on drawings of active collimator • IUCF: extension of present work approved • IU: blanket order in place for electronics • DAQ/Dartmouth: contract finalized(?)
Large ticket items • Solenoid CD-0 • Barrel calorimeter CD-0 • Civil CD-0 • Robotics facility purchased • Forward calorimeter CD-0 • Cerenkov R&D required • Tracking R&D required • Tagger design?
We need clear definition of Front-end Signals (from Electronics Review)
Suggestions from electronics review • Work on Front-ends • Tabulate specifications and requirements driven by the physics • Look at existing solutions (e.g. PHENIX, ATLAS, etc) • Prototype FE coupled with detector R&D. • To be developed are the vertex tracker, FDCs, CDCs (assuming barrel calorimeter finds an appropriate solution) • Conceptual design of entire system including cabling, grounding, etc. • Develop time distribution synchronization method • DAQ: parallel event builder, L3 farm
Consider supporting personnel? • JLab • Cost sharing of post-doctoral positions
Discussion • Large budget items require CD-0, unless exceptions are made to move them forward • Any (small) R&D should certainly be supported by our budget allocation • Support for manpower may be an effective way of using some of our funds • This will usually imply commitments for future years
