The yearly DOE review will Nov 16 and 17th. The final
report is at
https://cnidlamp.jlab.org/SBS-experiments/JDocDB/system/files/biblio/2015/02/sbs_review_report_2014_final.pdf
We have meet the two recommendations. One to modify the WBS2 schedule to be more realistic for CDET. We have
already put together a new WBS2 schedule in an updated PMP and the DOE has approved.
We basically added one year to the CDET construction schedule to finish in Jan 2017.
The second was for ECAL to have a test on the annealing. This was successfully done in the
spring of 2015. See http://hallaweb.jlab.org/12GeV/SuperBigBite/SBS-minutes/2015/C16-test_Mark_Jones.pdf
for short summary of test.
There are lots of comments. Some that I pick out:
1) They suggest a dataflow analysis for each of the 3 experiments.
2) They suggest including minimum bias events in Monte Carlo.
3) They suggest organizing an workshop (INT-like) to promote theoretical interest.
4) They mention about understanding systematic errors. It may be worthwhile to
revisit this for each experiment and have a technical report.
5) They mention about understanding the SBS magnetic field and its effect on
the beamline, target, and particle spin transport. We probably need to
have a technical document to explain these aspects.
A more detailed summary of comments is at

Please read and send comments to me. Of course we can discuss at the weekly
meeting and/or CC meetings.
Cheers,
Mark
