[Dsg-rich] TOSP RICH assembly

Patrizia Rossi rossi at jlab.org
Tue Feb 28 10:53:31 EST 2017


Dear All,

I am totally confused, and my Italian colleagues as well, with the thousands of e-mails that have been exchanged so far concerning the documentation/authorizations/calculations needed for the RICH assembly.
Bob Miller also asked calculations about the structure that have been made some time ago and discussed in several meetings.
The Italian technicians/engineers will arrive next Monday March 6 to start the RICH assembly. 
May you confirm that by that time (i.e. within 3 days) we have the TOSP signed so they can start to work from the day 1 they are at Jlab?

Thanks
patrizia
