[Bonuslist] Today's BoNuS meeting

[Sebastian Kuhn]

Dear Bonusites,

today's meeting was very sparsely attended - only Nate, Jixie and myself showed up. On one hand, this is probably a sign that people think that BoNuS business is done (NOT SO FAST!!!), and on the other hand, it shows that maybe we really only need to meet every other week for now.
So I would like to cancel next week's meeting (unless there is an urgent need to meet). Our next meeting will be either 2 weeks from today or even later (depending on demand and availability of people).
Here a few announcements:
1) Keith is the only candidate for the invited talk at the Paris meeting of the CLAS collaboration in March. He is hereby selected as our speaker and I will inform the organizers.
2) We got a short statement from Alexandre (chair of the PWG review committee) that they got our message and will start reviewing our analysis again. I will let everyone know once we get feedback from them.
3) Nate has updated Fig. 3 and some minor changes in the PRL. The "authoritative" version of all files is now (and will remain for the foreseeable future) at
http://www.jlab.org/~baillie/BoNuSPRL/
If you have made any last-minute changes since last week, you might want to let Nate know so he can incorporate them. If you would LIKE to make changes, ditto. Note that Nate will implement our requests for the remaining figures within the next 1-2 weeks and then we will update the posted version on the review website at http://www.jlab.org/Hall-B/secure/bonus/publication/bonuspub.html
4) For the future, BoNuS meetings will focus on the other 2 outstanding planned publications: The long paper (with Slava as lead author) and the exclusive pi- channel (with Jixie as lead author). Of course, we will continue to shepherd the PRL through the CLAS hurdles, and we will clean up some loose ends of the analysis (especially the F2d model in light of new Hall C data).
5) I am forwarding an announcement from the organizers of DIS2011:
> Dear all,
>
>     Just such that all get Voica's request for abstracts below.
> My guess is that there could easily be 5-6 requests for presentations
> on JLab results (experiment and theory) in these particular Structure
> Functions and Parton Densities sessions. In earlier e-mail exchange
> I saw from Thia, ideas for FL and longitudinal moments (proton) and
> the new results for R on deuterium plus deuterium FL moments came up.
> I separately also sent a mail to Mikhail and Silvano on their F2A data
> analysis/publication.
>
>     Beyond that, likely BONUS F2n/F2p results can be shown also
> in this session, and some of the theoretical large-x work can be added.
> I mailed Voica with a list of these, mentioning that my best guess was
> for at least five abstracts, but since she asked me to forward her mail
> to remind people, here it is (for many of you one more time)!
>
>                 Best regards,        Rolf

> Dear Spokespersons and Phyiscs Coordinators of experiments at JLAB,

>     The "XIX International Workshop on Deep-Inelastic Scattering and Related Subjects" (DIS2011) will be hosted by Jefferson Lab and take place in the Marriott Center in Newport News (Virginia, USA) from April 11th to 15th, 2011. The first day will be devoted to plenary review talks, followed by three days of parallel sessions and a few remaining plenary and all summary talks the final day. More information can be found in the web page of the conference

> As conveners of the "Structure Functions and Parton Densities" working group we would like to invite you to send us potential contributions with new results (not yet presented at earlier DIS workshops) from your experiment in the form of abstracts.
>
> According to the DIS Organising Committee the agenda has to be scheduled by mid February, therefore we would like to receive abstracts form your collaboration by *the 1st of February*.
>
> Please let us know if you send abstract requests to multiple working groups. And please let the organisers know if letters of invitation are needed for expected speakers.

> Looking forward to hearing from you,

Anyone who would like to present BoNuS results should let all of us know. (Note you also need to inform the PWG and the CSC if you want to submit an abstract). Also note the stipulation: The results have to be "new". I presented preliminary BoNuS results in Madrid 2 years ago, so arguably our results are now more "final". However, to make the presentation reasonably interesting, it should probably contain a comparison to parametrizations (CTEQ6x etc.) or Malace data etc., and more detailed comparison of nuclear effects with theoretical models (e.g., cos(th_pq)-dependence).

That's all for today - Sebastian
