3. 3 1. Overall activities Nov. 7, 8 from 8:00 – 22:00. –http://www.nd280.org/meetings/nd280200611/http://www.nd280.org/meetings/nd280200611/ –Conveners meeting, –Software, –Elec/DAQ, –Technical Board (TB), –SMRD, –TPC, –FGD, –INGRID, –P0D, –ECAL, –Photo-sensor, –Scintillator/Fiber –Magnet

4. 4 1. UA1 Magnet The magnet must arrive in Japan before Nov. 2007 (one year from now). –The recovery (sandblasting and paining) must be finished by the end of June 2007. –Intensive discussions in the conveners, IBR, TB, special meetings. We are working hard for this key component. –Technical aspects –Financial aspects

5. 5 CONTROL & SAFETY SYSTEM INSTALLATION MMS, YOKE, COIL BASKET SUPPORT INSTALLATION MAGNET ACTIONS Vs TIME 20062007 2008 2009 YOKE SHIPMENT COILS, MMS, BASKET SUPPORT SHIPMENT PRODUCTION ACCESS TO THE PIT DESIGN RECOVERY April May June No south bridge from Nov 2007 Jan Febr March

6. 6 2. SMRD Installation Two Important milestones –Survey of the magnet yoke 8mm thick scintillator modules are required. Will test the 7mm thick scintillator by the end of this year. –Installation of the modules after construction of magnet and facility building. Mock-up test at LSU and CSU Arrangement of the sinitillator modules –Must be optimized for physics case. Have an answer by January 2007.

7. 7 3. Elec/DAQ/Online/Slow- control/Offline/Software group organization Ad hoc committee met to discuss the group structures. The recommendations are Electronics [A. Weber] DAQ/Online [G. Pearce] Slow-Control [R. Poutissou] Software/Offline [C. McGrew, Y. Uchida]

8. 8 4. Unclear items including schedule conflict (→ CONV, TB) We also work to identify the unclear items in the TB members. –Common fund items. –Missing items. The uncertainty of schedule and conflict also will be discussed in the TB meeting.

9. 9 ND280 Schedule It is shown by Tsukamoto-san. –We have only 28 month before we have the beam Obviously, the ND280 is a complicated system. We may have many risky aspects in the project (technically, financially,...). However, so far, we work hard trying to keep schedule including very challenging device. –TPC, ASIC, Elec., Photo-sensor, etc.. => Need Review !
