1. ISS detector study http://dpnc.unige.ch/users/blondel/detectors/detector-study.htm Convener Alain Blondel Detector study council: Alan Bross; Kenji Kaneyuki; Paolo Strolin; Dave WarkMauro MezzettoPaul SolerJ.-E.Campagne The ISS detector Study group mailing list: NF-SB-ISS-DETECTOR@JISCMAIL.AC.UK

TASK: conveners web site, mailing list Megaton Water Cherenkov Detector Kenji Kaneyuki deputy: J.-E.Campagne Magnetized segmented detector (Low Z scintillator, magnetized iron calorimeter) Jeff Nelson deputy : Anselmo Cervera SMD Liquid Argon Scott Menary deputies: Andreas Badertscher Claudio Montanari Guiseppe Battistoni LarTPC Hybrid Emulsion Pasquale Migliozzi ECC Near detector and instrumentation Paul Soler

3. Given the time pressure put on us by the  'CERN council strategy' it seems wise to have a  written status statement from the ISS at the time of each ISS meeting. This would consist of a 2-3 page document produced by each working group convener with a general header by the detector council. This format seems to be manageable and (perhaps) efficient. 5. Charge to working group conveners: a) to assemble their working groups b) to nominate one person to talk at the physics meeting on London 17 of november c) to prepare the said 2-3 pages of summary for the time of the ISS meeting in Japan d) to attend a first meeting of the extended council by phone on the 27 october 2005 at 13:15 GMT. e) to prepare a 1h30 minutes presentation of results from their working group for the meeting of ISS in Japan (including technology talks as they see fit) (typically: technology/performance/cost estimate) 6. Paul will get in touch with Mauro to start producing a proposal for how to input detector performance data (i.e. resolution,eff. and back per channel, per bin of ?)

4. ISS detector working group: connection with physics group • to do for the KEK meeting in january: • each detector group is to produce a first go at a reasonable globes files • Trying to lose as little information as possible. • Is it possible to include a systematic error to each bin? • 2. physics group to review: • a- understanding of matter effects! • b- understanding of relationship of electron neutrino cross-section • vs muon neutrino cross-section in the low energy regime (0.1 - 2.0 MeV) • c. neutrino interaction models: • what is the adequate description of (and errors on) • -- fermi motion and binding energy • -- charm production cross-section • 3.In absolute for meeting in January: • first go at defining a detector R&D programme.

5. Practical matters: • phone meetings. • Phone or VRVS… or Skype? • next date 5 January – or 12 January 2005 ? • Thursday 14:00 GMT – difficult to find another time with California, • Virginia, Europe, India and japan • 2. documents Word or LateX? (Should be unified) • 3. meeting in Japan

6. ISS meeting at KEK Japan 22-25 January • http://www-kuno.phys.sci.osaka-u.ac.jp/%7Eyoshida/ISS/index.html • Sunday 22/1 afternoon: reserved for parallel detector working group meetings. • Organization is responsibility of conveners. • Wednesday 25/1 afternoon • special discussion on technologies • invite experts from Japan in particular. • suggestions to Alan Bross and Kenj Kaneyuki two parallel detector sessions: Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning reports from working groups expected emphasis: near detectors for low energy beam following meeting April 25-28 in RAL
