[Rgc] [EXTERNAL] Fwd: PAC 48 Jeopardy Info

[Silvia Niccolai]

Hi all,
It is ok for me to have the meeting - it overlaps with an EIC workshop, but they’re both via BJ, and of course I like RGC more ;-)
Be well, everyone. 
Ciao from soon-under-curfew France

We are still making target progress, but it's not really glamorous (electronics and piping have been moved to the insertion cart, etc). In light of the coronavirus and Medcon 5 status, I suspect it will slow down a bit for the next few weeks.

I suspect the reason is that because of ongoing uncertainty (budget and otherwise), the Lab management does not want to follow their own rules and publish a schedule for next year. I do feel it is unfair then to expect users to play strictly by the rules and waste time and resources on this exercise.

It should be easy enough to compose an “update” (it could be a summary of the ERR and recent progress on the target, and maybe 1 paragraph from each of the spokespersons on why their physics is “still” interesting). Given that I am totally swamped with the BONuS12 (RGF) run in Hall B right now (it’s been challenging and can only get more so), I cannot do much before May - maybe Chris can take the lead in assembling and editing this document.

Since there is only 1 slide for goal and motivation (again, we can take that from the ERR), the main part of the presentation will be progress on the target and simulations. This will be mostly coming from the target group, but should also have input from Angela, Tony, Silvia and anyone else doing simulations. Unfortunately, I am presently scheduled to be abroad during the PAC meeting (I hadn’t anticipated this jeopardy), so again I would like to ask Chris if he is willing to carry the mantle of RGC leader all the way through this presentation. Please forgive me for putting you in this spot, Chris!

>>> 
>>> While it is not required, you may submit a short update (10 pages maximum) that focuses on any new developments since your previous PAC approval that the PAC should consider in their new evaluation of your proposal. This optional update document will be due 8:00 a.m. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) on Monday, June 1, 2020, same as for new proposals.
>>> 
>>> At the PAC meeting, you will be scheduled (whether you submit a written update or not) for a 20 minute presentation, followed by 10 minutes of questions/discussion. Your presentation should contain a single slide summarizing the goal and motivation of the experiment followed by up to 19 slides (no slide animation or overlays for any of the 20 slides) focused on new developments since your previous PAC approval.
>>> 
>>> If the PAC recommends that your experiment remain on the books as an approved experiment, it will continue to be eligible for scheduling for the next 4 years when it would again need to be considered for Jeopardy if it has not been scheduled in that time frame.
