Barry setup a zoom meeting this noon to give me some feedback on the NPP proposal. He has read the proposal and said that it is generally in good shape, but has comments on the section on backgrounds. He had the following comments:

  1. Introductory points on backgrounds are clear and lay a good foundation
  2. Coherent backgrounds. This is section is nicely worked out.
    • Suggests that Section 5.2 -> Subsection 5.1.1
    • Add a final subsection summarizing on each background with a conclusion/summary
  3. Incoherent backgrounds. Needs work.
    • Need to simulate eta->3pi and Npipi backgrounds
  4. Other backgrounds
    • Also needs some quantitative numbers
  5. Suggests that we add a final section simulating all backgrounds together to demonstrate effective extraction of the signal

A final comment was a question we should include any discussion on a lead-tungsten calorimeter (immediately before 5.4.2)
