[Moller] MOLLER Review Update

[Krishna Kumar]

Dear MOLLER Collaborator:

This email is to update you on the details of the MOLLER Science Review that is being conducted by the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics on Wednesday, September 10 at UMass, Amherst, hosted by Michael Ramsey-Musolf’s Amherst Center for Fundamental Interactions. 

The review will be chaired by Tim Hallman, DOE Associate Director in charge of the Nuclear Physics program. The reviewers are:
David Hertzog (Washington), Z-T. Lu (ANL), Bill Donnelly (MIT), Charles Horowitz (Indiana), Tom Rizzo (SLAC), Maxim Perelstein (Cornell).

The JLab attendees are Bob McKeown, Rolf Ent, Thia Keppel and Javier Gomez.

From the collaboration, the following people are planning to attend: Dave Armstrong, Gordon Cates, Michael Gericke, Ernie Ihloff, Krishna Kumar, Kent Paschke, Mark Pitt, Michael Ramsey-Musolf, Seamus Riordan and Paul Souder. Bill Marciano is also attending and giving one of the theory talks.

Bob McKeown has submitted the MOLLER proposal for JLab on behalf of our collaboration. You can find the submitted version of the proposal at:
http://hallaweb.jlab.org/12GeV/Moller/downloads/mie/DOE_Moller13.pdf .
