[Moller] [EXTERNAL] MOLLER Updates

[Mark L. Pitt]

Dear MOLLER collaborators,

We are writing to update you on a few topics:

  * Following a suggestion at the December 2020 collaboration meeting,
    we would like to establish collaboration-wide "forums" to take place
    every couple months.  These will be half-day remote meetings
    dedicated to some specific topics that merit full collaboration
    updates and discussion.  We would like to propose the first of these
    for *Wednesday April 21 at 1 - 5 PM Eastern*.  Tentatively, we would
    plan to follow that with a full collaboration meeting in mid-June
    and another half day forum in mid August.

  * For the first forum on Wednesday April 21 at 1 - 5 PM Eastern, we
    propose updates and discussion on the following topics:
      o Simulations update (overview of shielding design projects and
        update on other ongoing projects)
      o Report on MOLLER Spectrometer Downstream Coil Preliminary Design
        Review
      o Report on MOLLER DAQ Preliminary Design Review
      o Update on MOLLER Beamline design status
      o Discussion of collaboration structure document (see below)

  * Collaboration structure document: As discussed at the December
    collaboration meeting, we are following a plan to develop a
    collaboration structure document that will guide us as we move into
    the next phases of the experiment.  The attached draft started with
    the March 2015 version and went through edits/updates from KK, Mark,
    and Jim Fast, followed by a comment period and endorsement by the
    Executive Board.  We are now distributing it to the full
    collaboration with an invitation for collaboration wide discussion
    at the April 21 forum.

  * Informal talks policy: As noted in the attached document, one of the
    tasks of the Institutional Board is the establishment and
    maintenance of a speakers board.  In the interim, we wanted to take
    this opportunity to state the policy we have been following on this
    to date.  We have not been actively soliciting talks for MOLLER,
    since it is not scheduled to run until 2025.  Speaker invitations
    that do come to the MOLLER collaboration have been handled by the
    Executive Board.  Collaborators - especially junior ones - who want
    to contribute abstracts to conferences are strongly encouraged to do
    so, but requested to notify the Executive Board.

Best regards,

Mark and KK
