Hi Marco et al.,

Great news and all the best in the ongoing preparations. I will support the effort as best from the sidelines.

Cheers, Elton

Dear BDXers,
the PAC51 committee granted the renewal to BDX experiment!

During the closout session it was not mentioned explicitly (only reported the final decision) but from an informal conversation  with a PAC  member, it seems we convinced the committee about: - the physics case still up-to-date, - the reach of the experiment wrt the others; - the commitment of the BDX Collaboration.
They also recognized the urgency to run the experiment (in competition with NA64) pushing on lab leadership to schedule BDX in the same time window of the Moeller experiment.
We will have a meeting with the lab leadership in the next few weeks to workout a plan to make real the BDX-PIPE option we discussed at the last meeting. It seems very likely that the wells will be dug starting soon and staged in the next few years (the ideal would be 5 per years for the next 3 years).
We should wait for mid August to read the full text in the PAC51 report. I'll send around as soon as available

Considering the great news and the significant work expected in the next months (re-design the detector, background simulation, investigation of BDX sensitivity to  different DS scenario such as scalar DM, iDM, L-B coupling, ..., actions to procure ~5000 PbWO crystals, actions to seek funding for the detector, ...) we will resume our weekly meeting starting from  September. I'll send a doodle around to find a convenient time

Thanks to everybody for the important result: we start seeing the light at the end of the ... pipe!
Cheers
Marco
