[Gpdtc] Wednesday....

[Christian Weiss]

David, All,


Thank you for putting this together. I think it is appropriate for the purpose. A few comments:


1) P2: When you present this, mention in words that
— no more than 3-5 TCs will be approved across all of NP;
— a strong proposal in hadron spectroscopy will be put forward.
This will make it clear that there can/should at most be one other JLab-related proposal in hadron structure,
and that we have to come together on this.


2) P3: Add “creation of new bridge positions” to the list of criteria. It is really critical


3) P3: The goal is a “limited project rather than long-term program.” The role of the CNF in the TC will have to be
defined with that in mind, even if it means reducing that role (or making it less visible). This is a delicate matter.
It would be worth pointing it out explicitly.


4) Generally, we should focus on what we all want to do within the new “larger” group going forward, rather than
spending much time on what we have discussed so far in our subgroup.


5) Since the number of participants will now be very considerable (>~20), we all need to think how to manage
this effectively. It will work only if a small team (3-5 people) takes responsibility and designs/prepares the actual
program and proposal.



Best regards,


Ch.

Hi All,

Before I go too far down writing something for Wednesday, please find attached some first thoughts - without figures.


The first couple of slides are basically some observations about the call, and what are likely to be the criteria (NB I could have also included diversity in all its interpretations…).
The real issue is how much should we discuss about our discussions and aims in the context of this meeting (transparency 5), and should I say (verbally or on paper) who is currently in our discussions (page 6) - I’ve listed institutions + (incomplete) names.  I make the point on page 3 that the creation of long-term positions is an important task, but I’m not sure I would want to say in writing where those positions might be.

I’ve taken the Executive Summary document, and page 5 is basically the extraction of that.  But we had some discussion before the break as to what the focus should be - for example, purely to extract GPDs, or aim to learn something more about the internal dynamics of hadrons (ie as Christian was discussing).  Similarly, Global Fitting or are there some better words we can use?


Regards,
David
