Attendees: Elton S., Ravi A., Dave D. David L., Paul B., Ben W., Ed B.


ES: Collaboration meeting report. MOU's - JLab MOU needs to have
    a lot of care to be as accurate as reasonably possible.
EB: Calorimeter can be made 2/month which means 2 years for fabrication.
    Not really room to store them all though.

PB: More motivation for hall construction.
ES: Building not expected to be ready until the end of 2007.
EB: The 2 year schedule is based on completely smooth operation for
    2 years. 3 years are more realistic.
	 Prototype to be constructed this summer and then tested at Serpukov.
	 2005 is earliest to expect real production on BCAL. 

ES: I'll circulate schedules for people to review.

DD: What was the decision on how central detectors will be inserted
    (one end or both ends)? Answer- both ends.

PB: Two magnet tagger got little resistance at meeting.
ES: Some concerns were raised in smaller meeting. Concerns
    about the vacuum box. How to support it between two magnets.
PB: That's easy.

DD: What is expected (construction) completion date?
ES: Not well know. Based on optimistic estimates, 2008.
DD: May be hard to get all funding in just a 3 year period.
EB: May be lucky to get CD1 a year from now. Construction can't start
    until 2006.
ES: CD1 doesn't give money for construction so construction can't 
    occur in 2006 (unless SURA loans the money up front.)

PB: Any commitment to taking over Cherenkov design. 
ES: Collaborators from UTenn have expressed serious interest.
EB: We have post-doc who can start working on simulations. He has
    some experience with PID.

--- More discussion on tagger magnet ---

PB: Schedule for (solenoid) magnet: Jan 2006 start moving components
into test area at JLab. Ends Dec. 2007
EB: Schedule seems really long. (First BCAL module can't be installed
until jan 2008.)
ES: Looks like we need space at JLab in Aug. 2005 according to this
schedule.

--- More discussion on details of solenoid schedule ---

EB: At very least 9 months will be needed for BCAL (w/ electronics)
installation.

ES: JLab MOU - We need to review the personel listed and the fraction
of FTE time. Can be obtained from Curtis's website.

--- Discussion of manpower. DAQ group should maybe come up with
a list of milestones in CODA development.---

ES: Need to finalize who will be responsible for FADC project.

ES: What do we do next week?
