We are going to try to have many of these tasks completed in the next 3-5 months. Many of the tasks listed are dependent on other tasks being completed first. There will be three main group working on the analysis of the data: JLAB/MIT Grenoble Calstate Leader: Doug Eric Konrad Group: *Fatiha Jean Marty *Marat Gilles Wilbur# Arun *Emilie Michael * Graduate Student on this experiment # Undergraduate Student These group will be responsible for various aspects of the preliminary analysis. The topics and coordinators which were delegated at the meeting were as follows: TOPICS LEADER (group) 1) Control of beam parameters Arun Saha (MK) 2) Control of target parameters Michael Kuss 3) Control of detector characteristics Fatiha Benmokhtar(DH,MR,EV,EB,FB) 4) Control of electronics and DAQ Marat Rvachev (DH,MR,EV,EP,FB) 5) Control of spectrometer set-ups Fatiha Benmokhtar(DH,MK,MR,EV,ME) 6) Control of spectrometer optics Douglas Higinbotham (FB,MR,GQ) Jean Mougey 7) Background sources and subtraction Fatiha Benmokhtar (DH,FB,MR,GQ) Marat Rvachev 8) 3He Elastic Runs Konrad Aniol (DH,MR,Wilbur) Eric Voutier 9) Cross Normalization Marat Rvachev Topics added to the J. Mougey's list: 10) List of Good Runs Douglas Higinbotham (FB) 11) mySQL database Marat Rvachev [mySQL is a user friendly database management program] 12) Hydrogen analysis Marty Epstein [Marty will try to tie together the work with Hydrogen being done by various groups.] 13) MCEEP 3He development Douglas Higinbotham [Doug has already contributed to the MCEEP code and will continue to add code for the e89044 analysis.] Sort write-ups of the procedures and/or progress on the various topics is due Monday 15 May 2000. In addition to the topics listed above, Nilanga will be providing the Hall-A collaboration with a write-up on how to optimize ESPACE and Doug is working on putting the header files and standard kumacs on the web. This list is by no means complete and if anyone not listed above would like to help in our analysis efforts please let me know! Conferences: Michael Kuss is preparing to give a talk on our experiment at the Gordon conference. We hope to have many short talks at the upcoming APS conference in Williamsburg. Aron has decided not to give a talk at Evora since we do not yet have any results. Thesis Topics: Final decisions on thesis topics has not yet been finalized. We did discuss various possible thesis topics. Next Meeting: The next collaboration meeting will take place sometime in July. In the interim, we will try to have one conference call each month to keep everyone in the analysis group informed. The local time for the call would be as follows: JLAB (10:30 a.m) Calstate (7:30 a.m.) Grenoble (4:30 p.m.) Details for the conference call for 15 May 2000 will follow. Sincerely, Douglas
