[BDXlist] BDX presentation to JLab directorate

[Marco Battaglieri]

Dear BDXers,
as we mentioned in the last two meetings, we asked for an informal 
meeting with Bob McKewon to show progresses and get a feedback before to 
present the proposal.
The quick chat we imagined transformed in  a 2h meeting (!) with Bob, 
Rolf and Patrizia with 1h for presenting BDX status and 1h discussion. 
The meeting is fixed for tomorrow at 3PM EST.
I think this is a great opportunity to convince the JLab management 
about the goodness and the readiness of BDX at JLab and obtain the 
necessary support for the infrastructural costs (as you know this has 
little to do with the PAC judgment).
To make the story short. we need to prepare a good presentation quickly.
Even if there are many things still to work out for the full proposal, I 
believe we have already all ingredients for a thorough discussion with 
Bob &Co using as a skeleton the LOI but updating all the new items (and 
in particular addressing the concerns expressed in the PAC report about 
technology and infrastructure).
I'll assemble a presentation that includes all progresses we did in the 
different area in these 2 years and for this reason I would like from 
all of you 4-5 slides on a specific item:

- Eder and Gordan: theory update and reach plot (if any new)
- Andrea: rec software
- Andrea/Eder: Chi generation
- Andrea/Luca: test on crystals
- Dan W./Gordan: Chi interaction and nuclear response
- Dan S./Dinesh: BDX-DRIFT
- Elton/Tim: infrastructures at JLab
- Marzio/Mariangela: Cosmic BDX prototype at LNS
- Mariangela/Marzio: proton beam test at LNS
- Raffaella: simulation of beam-related bg (n and gamma)
- Alessandra: simulation of cosmic mu and n
I will take care of simulations with GEMC and the detector concept

Please nothing fancy, just few slides that I will cannibalize to 
assemble in a coherent presentation.

I'll be grateful if you could send  your contribution asap (at most by 
today at 3PM EST) giving me time to prepare the presentation, circulate 
a draft by tonight, receive your feedback by tomorrow morning and 
adjust/correct/complement what missing before the presentation.
Sorry for the late notification but I received the message from Bob 
yesterday night and tomorrow is the convenient slot they found.
Thanks in advance
Marco
