  1. FNAL Status and Plans • So far the calice crew at FNAL is: • Niels Meyer, Beni Lutz, Sven Karstensen, Roman Poeschl, Alex Kaplan, GeorgiosMavromanolakis, Vishnu Zutshi + 3 desy engineers/technicians • On 10 Apr the two big containers arrived on site. They contained the main movable stage, the hcal structure, the ecal, pc's, crates etc. • 1 container with the scintillator layers of the hcal is delayed. Its arrival is expected in a couple of days. • The current status of the installation at the control room and at the beamline is as follows: • the installation and cabling of the pc's at the control room is now complete. The local calice network is up. Issues with grid and local data storage is on track. • By the end of this week (20 Apr) we expect to finish • - the assembly/installation of the movable stage • - put it in its final position in the beamline and then the tailcatcher can be put in place • - installation/cabling of the hcal modules

  2. FNAL Status and Plans • Next week (21 Apr) we plan to have the installation of the ecal, the hcal+tcmt commissioning, the installation/commissioning of the drift chambers and the trigger setup. • All setup should be installed by 24 Apr (DESY technicians leave on 24) • On Fri 25 Apr we have scheduled the final inspection and the official safety review. We pass it and we can expose our detectors to the beam. • The week from 28 Apr we plan to have the first hands-on experience with the beam and the full setup. If everything goes according to expectations on Mon 5-Tue 6 May we plan to have the final beam tuning. • On Wed 7 May the official data taking period starts with 12hr shiftsfor 3 weeks. • The first data taking period at FNAL is thought as a cross reference with the CERN data. The main aim of the first 3 weeks (May run) is to cover some of the points in energy/angle/perticle type that have been collected at Cern in 2007. Also we will collect muon data for calibration. • After the May run the next data taking period for another 3 weeks is planned to start on Wed 9 July.
