Dear MOLLER collaborators,<br>
<br>
This is a reminder of our upcoming collaboration meeting on
Wednesday August 12 - Thursday August 13 at Jefferson Lab. Please
register for the meeting at this link:<br>
<br>
<pre wrap=""><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://misportal.jlab.org/Ul/conferences/generic_conference/registration.cfm?conference_id=COLLAB-MOLLER-AUG2015">https://misportal.jlab.org/Ul/conferences/generic_conference/registration.cfm?conference_id=COLLAB-MOLLER-AUG2015</a> </pre>
<br>
We will be contacting people to arrange talks this week, and we
will be circulating a draft agenda sometime the following week.<br>
<br>
As noted below, a major focus of this meeting will be preparation
for the fall Director's technical feasibility review.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Mark and KK<br>

class="">As you all probably know, we will soon have the
report from NSAC on the latest long range planning exercise.
As many of you know, MOLLER was quite prominently mentioned
both in the QCD and the Fundamental Symmetries and Neutrinos
White Papers. During the LRP meeting in Kitty Hawk, there was
an open session in which future potential MIE’s were
discussed. A MOLLER presentation was solicited and was
presented as one such initiative and it was very
well-received. We are optimistic that a strong endorsement
will result in MOLLER being folded into the planning in
DOE/NSF NP as an MIE over the next few years.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">We
have also been working with the lab to define the next steps
for the experiment. While MOLLER is not still a formal project
i.e. we are have not entered the CD-N process, we are working
under the assumption that the Science Review served as the
CD-0 review and we are beginning to operate under the
management structure that would ensue when we do enter the
formal project stage:</span><br class="">

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">1.
The Level 2 managers have provided information that went into
the preparation of a pre-R&D request to the lab for
support in the FY16 and FY17 time frames. This is for items
considered essential to making critical technology choices for
the MOLLER experiment. The request is currently being
considered by the lab. In parallel, we are preparing (at the
request of Gulshan Rai at DOE) a Research Management Plan that
will describe the R&D that is being done at
various collaborating institutions that is critical to the
development of the MOLLER design. It is hoped that the
combination of JLab support for pre-R&D and directed User
grant support from DOE/NSF will allow us to continue our
positive momentum in the development of the technical aspects
of the MOLLER design over the next two years.</span></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">2.
After our successful DOE Science Review in September 2014, the
lab management would like to have a Director's technical
feasibility review in late September 2015. This will help us
prepare for the likely next step from DOE, which would be a
technical feasibility review late in this year, after the NSAC
long range planning activity is complete. We expect that these
reviews will loosely conform to the parameters of a CD-1
review for a conventional DOE project.</span></div>
<div class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
class=""><br class="">
In preparation for the September Director's review, we will
need to prepare a draft project management plan (PMP) and an
updated version of our MIE proposal that was last updated in
preparation for the September 2014 DOE Science Review. Javier
is preparing a template section for the PMP (with input from
Rolf, Thia, and Allison Lung of the 12 GeV project) that L2
managers can use to prepare their sections. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
class="">The existing MIE proposal already has a significant
amount of information about technical feasibility that is
primarily in the appendices. Before updating begins, it is
being restructured to bring the technical feasibility
information forward into the main body. We will be in touch
shortly with the L2 managers with details of what needs to be
done on these two documents and a timetable for completing it
over the next two months.</span><br class="">
