Good News

20-yr Plan

From Congress

Senate

Reviews Electronics - July 2003 Calorimetry & Tracking Software Theory? Lehman review (~ 1 yr)

Software Issues PWA and phenomenology  NSF PWA center - GlueX/CLEO-c  Other proposals Simulations/Reconstruction  Ed Brash/Richard Jones/Maciej Swat  Lehman review preps GRID  Coordinate with Lab  G. Fox DAQ  Coordinate with Lab/Tim Smith?

System Requirements

Funding Coordinated NSF/DOE supplementals CDRF and ISTC - US/Russia Joint Canada/Mexico/US Requests for R&D to JLab Theory requests Computer science

Collaboration Commitment Nature of MOU’s  Physicists  Technical Staff  Other experiments Adding/Removing Collaborators  Guidelines  Implementation

Equipment that Could be Completed Magnet  End-plate holes?  Energize at IUCF? LGD  Evaluate glass/pm’s  Frame, wall, monitor  Electronics

Projects that could be completed soon Development of amplitude parameterization  isobar model  Deck effect  unitarity, analyticity,  particular attention to incident photons

Equipment Issues Tracking  Design & manpower?  Vertex region Calorimetry  Barrel readout  Prototypes  Upstream Particle I.D.  Re-visit Cerenkov  TOF - OK  Magnetic issue  Forward/Cal - TOF - Cerenkov package

Infrastructure Building  Can we go to architect? Beam  Beam line design  Tagger design  Tagger magnet  Coherent multiple scattering? Subsystem Integration  Use BarBar as paradigm

Schedule Current schedule is painfully slow Build the Hall and beamline before upgrade Investigate physics at lower energy Stage equipment installation

Analysis/Phenomenology Amplitude Analysis  Understand ambiguities  Improve algorithms/throughput  Analysis of extant data Phenomenology  Critique of isobar model  Model for backgrounds  Understand ‘theory’ systematic errors

Conclusions There’s a lot to do Let’s get busy
