[APEX] Fwd: APEX ERR: final report

Fri May 27 13:33:35 EDT 2016

Dear Colleagues in APEX:

Greetings.

I congratulate you all on your wonderful work and efforts for setting up
the experiment. I thank you for making it all possible, especially
the spokespersons, Natalia, Phillip, Rouven and Bogdan and the post-doc's
and students. Great job.

I regret my being physically away from the site precluded me from being
able to contribute momentously to the work
and from playing an active part in the collaboration. Although as the
spokespersons are aware I did make a few attempts during last one and half
year to visit JLab to assist the collaboration with this work.

I have read the readiness review report (I also appreciate the points
raised by Jack Segal in his mail last month I believe). I was pleased to
see that the committee has acknowledged and commended your efforts.

I was wondering if I can assist the collaboration with the thermal issues
etc. raised by the committee.
These seem to be quite important issues. The radiation flux and temperature
gradients could  damage the target.
If the collaboration is planning to implement any tests or procedures, such
as the array of electrical switches to the motion mechanisms
and their integration with the FSD system, as proposed, and need someone to
help, I could assist you. I can also
help with the DAQ work and integration of various things. I am an
experimentalist and could help with electronics and instrumentation.

I have recently designed and developed some instrumentation for my grant
work at my home institution and got to work first hand on things like
Halbach magnets and special cavities etc. This is something which you might
look at for the magnetic field issues. If these ideas could be helpful to
the experiment, I would be glad to assist.

I shall be visiting Jlab for nearly a month in August, mainly to work with
my collaboration work at Hall C.
Although I will be occupied with a lot of work, I wish to devote whatever
time I could to APEX preparations and analysis.

I shall be traveling from next week onward but would try my level best to
attend the 6th June meeting, if the local time where I was let me to.

I wish you all great summer and look forward to hearing from you, wherever
I could be of any help.

Kindest Regards
