MPS First Meeting 08 May 2008, List of Actions

1. Prepare and submit the following new proposals to the January 2009 PAC:
   • GEN (G. Cates)
   • GMN (B. Quinn)
   • Transversity (E. Cisbani, B. Wojtsekhowski)
2. Prepare a Conceptual Design Report for MPS and organize a technical review
3. Continue the efforts of the coordination board and working groups to explore new physics initiatives.
   J. Annand will explore possibilities for high-energy pseudo-scalar and vector meson photoduction, single and double polarization observables, and real compton scattering
4. Prepare and submit the funding requests:
   • MRI for the development and construction of the MPS and its Polarimeter Tracking (total funding 1.8 M$).
     MRI will include all nucleon form factors.
     MRI must be submitted by January 2009. (M. Khandaker, V. Punjabi)
   • INFN-fund application for the development and realization of the MPS first tracker and the development of the readout electronics (F. Garibaldi, E. Cisbani). Deadline July 2008
   • Glasgow University actively exploring possibility of MPS related funding request
5. Continue the GEM prototyping activity and organize the beam test;
   Construct the GEANT4 model of the MPS (J. Annand)
6. Present a summary of the meeting at the next Hall A collaboration meeting
7. Next MPS meeting will be held in late August / beginning of September 2008 on:
   • MPS CDR draft
   • MRI submission
   • PAC Proposal
   • Possible additional physics
