<div><br>
<div>I am pleased to inform you that the MOLLER MIE proposal was
submitted last week by JLab director Mont to DoE NP Director
Tim Hallman. The final version can be found at this location
for the next couple of weeks:</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It will be moved in the meantime to the MOLLER DocDB. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks to everyone who participated in getting this
completed. This document contains the collective wisdom of the
original MOLLER proposal, the 2010 update, as well as recent
developments in the relevant technical successes of Qweak,
various simulations, the hybrid toroid design and detector
mechanical design. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>An important new section is section 7, which contains the
list of R&D topics. This is a comprehensive list of issues
that we ought to worry about in the next 12-18 months. I will
discuss with senior collaborators the appropriate timing of a
collaboration meeting to discuss these issues and assign
manpower to the highest priority topics. Tentatively, I am
thinking about Dec 2-3 or Dec 9-10 or perhaps in mid-January. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It would be great if you all looked at section 7 as well as
the appropriate appendices and figured out how you would like
to contribute to the large number of technical tasks on hand
to develop this project. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In terms of potential DoE funding, my understanding on how
things proceed is as follows: the NP office must first agree
to consider this proposal for the CD-process. This is what we
have just requested. This is by no means guaranteed, though we
have the strong support of the PAC, the Director's review
report and JLab management. Assuming they do, we are hoping
that they will initiate a physics review no later than Spring
2012. This will allow us to achieve CD-0 sometime next year.
The earliest that one can receive project engineering, design
and construction funding would be in FY14. Depending on DoE
long term planning, the timing of various CD-n reviews will
become apparent. It is at that point that it will become
apparent how/what to obtain for auxiliary funding (NSF,
foreign, various university MIE's etc).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The period between now and a few months before CD-2 is when
the experimental design takes shape. It is very difficult to
change anything beyond CD-2, after which the project will
basically be an unstoppable freight train (which is good and
bad!). I say this to emphasize the need for physicists to get
involved in design NOW. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any funding that is required in the meantime is so-called
pre-R&D funding and must come through a special request by
JLab in its annual budget. We have targeted 400K$ in FY12 and
13 for this purpose, but this is by no means guaranteed. The
more we are organized, the better our position to fight for
such funding over the next couple of years. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If DoE agrees to review us and we do well in such a physics
review, then the above-mentioned scenario is realistic. We are
basically ready for such a review now, so we do not have that
worry. The earlier the better, as far as we are concerned. I
will keep you informed of further developments.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers, </div>
<div>KK</div>
