Agenda

Note: agenda is still being edited

1. General goals for this "supergroup" (Mark/KK)
2. Beam monitoring (Mark)
   1. Background material Beam monitoring info
   2. Beam size monitor with cavities (Mike Woods, SLAC, KK mentioned this)
   3. Beam monitor parasitic development work (KK potentially has graduate student available for this)
   4. Synchrotron radiation - any issues here?
   5. R&D plan needs to focus primarily on charge monitoring - how to proceed? (ie. parasitic work in Hall A or C or both? Qweak may be resistant to changes since things are working at an acceptable level now, but that is not confirmed.)
3. Tracking (Mark, David A.)
   1. Background: Director's Review Tracking Talk (see slides 4,8,9,10,12) Tracking background info
   2. Background: Initial CAD layout from Dec. 2010 KK talk Tracking CAD info
   3. Background: Small acceptance pion counting detector from Souder Dec. 2010 talk Souder pion detector info
   4. Are we happy with decision to just measure scattered theta and not E'?
   5. Can initial work proceed without further simulations (other than default profiles of the scattered flux at the three z locations)?
   6. What work needs to be done by summer? (suggestions:)
      1. further "Roman pot" research
      2. finalize decision for "Region 3" technology - straws or GEMs?
      3. Learn more about running GEMs in vacuum (assuming that is default choice for Region 1 and 2)
      4. Number/sizes of detectors in each region
      5. Is this the correct subgroup for Souder's counting mode pion detector?
4. Integrating detectors (Mark, Michael, Dave M.)
   1. Background: Director's Review Integrating Detectors Talk (see slides 2,3,18,19,27,31) Integrating Detectors info
   2. Background: Initial CAD layout from Dec. 2010 KK talk Detectors CAD info
   3. Issues
5. Next meeting time/goals

Return to MOLLER at 11 GeV E09-005
