Minutes of Hall A Group Meeting September 6,2011
1)	Doug Higinbotham
a)	12 GeV Scheduling: the Hall A CC is drafting 
people to work out a draft Hall A schedule. They 
will be inquiring spokespeople for information re 
needs and time requirements for various approved 
experiments.
b)	SBS will be reviewed next month by DOE
c)	Solid group has been asked to come up with a list 
of detector requirements
2)	Bert Manzlak
a)	The lab is in the 2nd phase of trying to acquire 
ISO 18001 accreditation (International Safety 
Standard)
i)	Two people are going through various documents. 
ii)	They will make field observations and conduct 
interviews
iii)	No firm schedule for the interviews (Bert 
will share information as it becomes available)
3)	Installation: (Ed Folts)
a)	Still have no target platform
b)	Almost ready to test power supplies
c)	Need to build a hut for slow raster controls
d)	Waiting for the dump
e)	Need various OSP?s
i)	Magnet field measuring
ii)	Power to the septum
iii)	Beamline magnets
f)	Bert reminds that there?s a new format for OSP?s
g)	Cooling down the spectrometers. Expect the ESR to 
start this afternoon
h)	Water system is almost finished
i)	Getting ready to pull the right detector stack
4)	Robin Wines
a)	Local dump: expect all parts here by the end of 
September
b)	Lead was not here last week
c)	Camera Assembly: sent drawings to the shop last 
week
i)	Lead for the camera is out for quotes.
d)	BeO ordered last Friday, expect in 4-6 weeks
e)	3rd Arm drawings are signed off, ordering parts

7)	Jixie Zhang
a)	Preparing the shift schedule page for g2p
b)	Working on magnetic shielding for the pmt?s in 
the 3rd arm. Need to talk with Al re the weight of 
the shielding. Doug suggests looking into 
alternate materials from simple mu-metal.
8)	J-P Chen
a)	g2p: There are a lot of last minute things to 
finish up. Keeping track of the critical things.
b)	Solid: 2 visitors from China are here
i)	Having delays getting parts for GEM?s from the 
Italians
ii)	Having export control problems with 
electronics ordered from Italy
iii)	DOE is asking for inputs on Chinese 
collaboration with JLab 12 GeV projects and 
will help promote these projects with the 
Chinese Academy of Science and National Science 
Foundation of China. 
c)	Polarized 3He:
i)	Trying to make two new convection cells.
ii)	1st cell sent to U.Va.
(1)	New vacuum system is causing some delay 
in testing the 1st cell
9)	John LeRose
a)	Starting preparations for SBS review
b)	Also have a Lehman review for the 12 GeV upgrade 
on the way.
10)	Javier Gomez
a)	Reminds g2p that they need to have a
