Status of E-906/Drell-Yan with Fermilab and DOE and schedule going forward

1. Status of E-906/Drell-Yan with Fermilab and DOE and schedule going forward Paul E. Reimer 7 January 2008 MOU and Stage II Approval Celebration—exciting meeting Financial outlook Hall Status and schedule

2. Final Signatures on MOU 16 Dec 2008 Paul E. Reimer. E906 Status, Funding and Schedule

3. Stage II approval on Christmas Eve • MOU led to Stage II approval. This means that • We are now a “real” experiment that can use Fermilab recourses • We can now claim some “real estate” in which to work • Caveat: Subject to Fermilab’s other commitments--please let me know what I need to negotiate. • We are expected to deliver an experiment, not just talk about it.

4. Budget—Big Picture From MOU What are the appropriate funding agencies in Japan and Taiwan? Paul E. Reimer. E906 Status, Funding and Schedule

5. Budget—US Picture Paul E. Reimer. E906 Status, Funding and Schedule

6. Budget—Continuing Resolution (flat funding) Brad Tippens (DOE/Office of Nuclear Physics) specifically requested our response to three possible scenarios for FY09 funding: • $370k in FY09:  This scenario is outlined in the MOU.  Basically we would proceed with all due speed to get the spectrometer on the floor and taking data at Fermilab. • $150k in FY09:  • The first priority would be to start the design and construction of the Station 1 MWPC at Colorado.  $90k is needed for this.  • Next, is the purchase the Station 4a hodoscopes at Abilene Christian for $30k.  • The remaining $30k would be used either for the Station 4b hodoscopes at Abilene, or if the Japanese obtain the extra funding they have requested (approx. $100k for Station 3x, 4b and 4c hodoscopes) this $30k could be used to fund help spectrometer installation at Fermilab.  The priority would be the assembly of the magnet.  Not having the remaining $220k until FY2010 would result in a significant, but manageable delay in the installation and start of the experiment.

7. Experiment Runs Expt. Funded Magnet Design Experiment And construction Construction Publications 2012 2009 2008 2011 2010 Timeline Timeline Constraints • Funding cycle • Ability for Fermilab to prepare hall and beam line • Our ability to construct and install spectrometer elements • Tevatron schedule • Collider run is scheduled to end at the end of FY10 (31 Sept 2010) • High intensity protons to E-906/Drell-Yan unlikely while Collider is running • Low intensity protons are possible—excellent opportunity to “shake down” spectrometer/DAQ/Analysis Tevatron/Collider constraints make it unreasonable to push for the experiment to be ready in Jan 2010; however some low intensity running is desirable. Proposed spectrometer completion date of June 2010 Paul E. Reimer. E906 Status, Funding and Schedule

8. Hall layout and space—current Current status of NM4 (KTeV Hall) • Scaffolding/supports everywhere • Left over ruins of a previous grand experiment • Tourists visit it occasionally • Site has been scavenged for valuable material, waste bins to through the rest away Paul E. Reimer. E906 Status, Funding and Schedule

9. Current NM4 Hall Status (from Chuck’s talk) End of loading dock KMAG Areas that will definitely be cleaned out this spring Paul E. Reimer. E906 Status, Funding and Schedule

10. KTeV Hall progress • See talk by Chuck Brown • We now have possession of • the counting room to use as office/work space. • Gas shed to begin work on chamber gas mixing/circulation system • Complications: • Liquid Argon (21 t) purification test is planned for 1 month (realistically 3 months) on floor of hall. • Test was to have been completed by now, but not yet started • Discussing other locations for test. (We now have Stage II approval, which we didn’t have when this test was sited.) • Loading dock/Mezzanine level may be used for MICE solenoid test this summer • Fermilab labor to assemble FMag will not be available until Spring 2010! Paul E. Reimer. E906 Status, Funding and Schedule

11. Conclusions and Questions • We did it—now we need to change this from a virtual experiment into reality!!! • Budget Questions—DOE: • By when do Abilene Christian, Colorado and Fermilab need the money? • What cannot wait until March 2009? • How will this impact Summer 2009 work? • Space is being opened up for us to use • What do we need by Spring 2009? • What do we need by Summer 2009? • Lodging onsite? • Experiment can be ready in June 2010, but time is tight • Please think in advance of the resources needed and coordinate it with myself and Chuck. Also, don’t forget to do everything safely—and this requires coordination with Fermilab ES&H. Paul E. Reimer. E906 Status, Funding and Schedule

12. Hall layout and space—soon • Transform hall into useable space Paul E. Reimer. E906 Status, Funding and Schedule
