1 Memorandum of Understanding Paul E. Reimer 20 June 2008

2 2 Paul E. Reimer Purpose Outlines responsibilities within the collaboration –Leadership responsibilities, including safety responsibilities –Institutional responsibilities Clearly states who will provide each element of the spectrometer –This will represent a commitment on the part of each group to provide these elements/services/funds Clearly states what we expect Fermilab to provide for the experiment –Equipment e.g. beam line, wire winding machine, KTeV magnet –Supplies e.g. power and cooling for magnets –Beam parameters and intensity Estimates of cost This document should be as specific as possible –I don’t want to get to 2010 and find myself saying, “I though you were doing that”

3 3 20 June 2008Paul E. Reimer Time Line We are waiting on the MOU so that Fermilab will have a clear path for working on the experiment We can really start working on this experiment here at Fermilab Funding Agencies will release money Fermilab has created a task force Chaired by Dave Christian and Craig Moore Regular meetings (but the—now ended—furlough program caused delays) Evaluate costs and time line from Fermilab’s point of view Focused on major cost—beam line Time Line Hope to have Fermilab cost input by early July Circulate draft in collaboration in early July Final version in August? Am I too optimistic?

4 4 20 June 2008Paul E. Reimer Sample Outline 1.Introduction—Physics goals, goals of MOU 2.Personnel and Institutions i.Collaboration Leadership—Identify spokesperson, lines of responsibility ii.Current Collaboration—Lists all of you 3.Experimental Area and Beams i.Experimental Area—KTeV Hall (NM4) ii.Proton Beam Structure and Intensity—Spot size, 2×10 12 /s, total proton 4.Collaboration’s Responsibilities i.General Responsibilities of All Institutions—Do the experiment safely ii.Abilene Christian University—Hardware (hodoscopes), labor, MC work iii.Argonne National Laboratory iv.Los Alamos National Laboratory v.And on through the collaboration

5 5 20 June 2008Paul E. Reimer Sample outline 5.Fermilab’s Responsibilities i.Accelerator Division—e.g. Beam line ii.Particle Physics Division—e.g. KTeV Hall, magnet assembly iii.Computing Division—electronics, disk storage, networks, computing farms (?) 6.Cost and Schedule—What the costs are and from where the money is expected 7.Special Considerations i.During Construction, Installation, and Operation of the Experiment ii.At the Completion of the Experiment—We agree to clean up our mess iii.Publications and Reviews—We agree to publish our results and we agree to help Fermilab in various reviews
