1. Downstream PID Review Alan Bross MICE CM 16 October 8, 2006

2. Review Process  The review process for the downstream PID detectors will be the same as we are doing for the upstream at this meeting  Charge: u Have the simulation studies/analyses accurately and reliable defined the detector needs for the experiment? u Is the design specification sufficient to meet the needs of the experiment? u Is it likely that the proposed system(s) (detector, electronics, DAQ) can achieve this specification? u Are the risks fully understood and being appropriately managed? u Is the proposed schedule realistic in terms of the available resources: funding and people? u Is the schedule likely to lead to a timely installation in the MICE hall? u Are the infrastructure needs clearly defined and being addressed? u The review is also free to pick up on issues which may arise during the review and are not covered by the above.  The format will also be the same  We plan to hold the review at Frascati or possibly in conjunction with a future MICE CM

3. Downstream PID Review Status  Since there are still open questions regarding the design of the DS-PID: Magnetic shielding, detector size, calorimeter basic design, it is premature to schedule the DS-PID review at this time  We propose that we have a 1-2 day workshop in Frascati to help advance (finalize?) the design of the DS-PID systems in early December  We will try to pin down a date in the next 2 weeks.  Afterwards we should be in a better position to determine when to schedule the actual review
