6. Andrew Hime Physics Division, LANL Focus on New Developments

7. Andrew Hime Physics Division, LANL  Some experiments being established  PICASSO prototyping Now (in SNO space)  DEAP-I to be installed this Fall (in SNO space)  SNO + actively pursuing Funds & Collaboration  Updates & Schedules for Other Prospective Experiments Discussed Here  Requested brief status reports to accompany presentations  Some Uncertainties  Many projects in a stage of R&D … Is R&D / prototyping space required?  Many projects seeking funds  Prospects and schedule for DUSEL  Need to establish appropriate forum for technical review and implementation  Technical Research Proposals will be required  Need to establish overall scientific organization of the facility Defining and Implementing an Initial Suite of Experiments & Scientific Roadmap
