[Hps] Approved at Last!

[Jaros, John A.]

>From Bob McKeown:


     We have reviewed the updated HPS Physics Readiness Document, and conclude that indeed HPS has fulfilled the condition imposed by the PAC regarding a successful test run. We therefore agree that HPS should receive full approval, with a total of 180 PAC days of beam time. 
However we would like to point out that, although we will look for opportunities, scheduling HPS in the next few years will be very difficult. We also expect that HPS will most likely enter the Jeopardy process before being scheduled for the full beam-time allocation, and that the PAC will then re-evaluate the status, including beam-time allocation.
     Congratulations on your approval status, and the very successful running period this year. We eagerly look forward to the results of analysis of the present HPS dataset.
             Best regards,
                     Bob
