Collaboration News and Business John Arrington Chair, Hall A CC Hall A Collaboration Meeting December 13, 2007
Collaboration News and Business • New members • PAC33 proposals • Status of publications • Hall A Annual Report • Analysis Workshop • Hall A Charter • CC election next spring • Need candidates for two positions (not from MIT or FIU)
New Members • Three student members (HAPPEx/PREx) • Sudirukkuge Tharanga Jinasundera (UVa) • Abdurahim Rakhman (Syracuse) • Zafar Ahmed (Syracuse) • Notify Kees of students working on upcoming Hall A experiments.
PAC33 proposals • 11 (of 13) proposals submitted to CC • Collaboration status approved for all 11 submitted proposals My personal thanks to Pete Markowitz, who organized the proposal review and saved my vacation
Status of Publications (good, bad, and ugly) • Several high-impact, top-cited publications from the Hall A physics program • Many experiments have results beyond initial publications, but have not published these results • Want to see annual report contributions until all of the main physics results of the proposals are published
Hall A Annual Report • Editing in progress: Bryan Moffit, Pete Markowitz, Kees de Jager • Still missing 2-3 contributions • Hope to finish editing by the end of the year • Next year • Formalize smaller technical reports • New requirement • Updates from experiments that have published first results, but are still analyzing primary physics results • Brief reports on analyses expected for archival papers
Analysis Workshop (yesterday) • Summary tomorrow • A few general issues • Limited communication on analysis issues • Initial ideas to improve things • Physics AND analysis updates at Collab. Meeting • General analysis logbook (not experiment specific) • Update some web resources
Hall A Collaboration Charter • Some procedures have not always been consistently followed • Requirements for proposal review • Replacement of CC members • Are there other small updates we should make, as long as we’re cleaning up these issues? • What about 12 GeV? • More very-large scale experiments • Do we need/want any changes in the Collaboration structure? Please send suggestions/comments to CC
