Hall-D CB+EG Meeting Report • George Lolos • University of Regina • May 22, 2004
JLab preparations for GlueX • The need for a project office and additional manpower for Hall-D is immediate • Engineers (mechanical and electronic) are necessary for Hall-D and GlueX construction and integration • JLab will advertise for the Hall-D manager’s position. • Elton will contact MOU groups for input on manpower needs
Funding Issues • Limited support for theorists’ travel to collaboration meetings will be provided on a case by case basis • The new THEORY division is a natural source for support for workshops • Opportunities exist for CRDF, NAFTA and U.S. & Canadian- EU mobility funding
R&D Funding for FY2005 • Prepare requests for FY2005 to be presented to the Collaboration in the September meeting • Funds to finish the second pair of magnet elements to be processed early in new fiscal year • Most likely, R&D levels will be around $600k
MOU’s (again) • Not necessary to collect university brass’ signatures this round of MOU’s • MOU’s between groups and Hall-D are formal gentle mens’ agreements on contributions to our common objectives (remember, we know where you live....) • MOU by the Mexican group is in the works • Oak Ridge and UTenn are interested • UofA, AUT and NUA will be pursued (for MOU’s, of course) • MOU’s should be completed in 10 days
Recruiting • Go out there and recruit!!!!!
Upcoming Meetings • PAMS related physics and analysis workshop in the UK in September in association with CLEO and PANDA • Next Collaboration meeting is in September 9-11, 2004, at JLab • Tentative dates for the Detector Review are October 21-22, 2004, at JLab • Tentative month for winter Collaboration Meeting is February and we aim for Mexico (over Alex’s objections...)
Sabbaticals @ JLab • Curtis and George will take sabbaticals this Fall at JLab • It’s most desirable to show increased presence at JLab together with increased research activity on GlueX hardware, software and theory efforts • Elton will pursue a suite in ARC for Hall-D use
Elections etc. • It has been proposed to consider the t=0 time reference the date of CD-0 award (I will not mention the proposer’s name) • If approved, this means that the limits on CB members in the M.P. start from t=0 • If not approved, a number of CB members will finish their second and last two year terms and not be eligible for re-election • Alex’s four year term as Spokesman is also coming to an end and an election is needed • This is a paid advertisement by the committee to re-elect Alex
