5. Technical Team leaders for the ionization cooling experiment ================================================ These nominees in charge of task forces have the following responsabilities: a) assemble the necessary team b) if possible recommend a technical solution c) foresee a description of the design/performance/cost estimate of their part.

6. 2002 The schedule of activities can be envisaged as follows, assuming all milestones are passed successfully. 2002: Preparation of proposal and fund raising ·Integrated simulation of experiment including beam, detectors and cooling cells CRITICAL ·Evaluation of possible sources of systematic errors ·Investigation of low equilibrium emittance lattice and of the compatibility with ring coolers ·Continuous comparison of the 200 MHz and 88 MHz scenarios ·Test of detectors in X ray environment (already underway) CRITICAL and choice of tracking devices ·Operation of 88 MHz cavity at CERN and of the test facilities at Fermilab ·Continued development of liquid hydrogen absorbers Development of alternative schemes for absorbers ·Competitive design and cost estimates for the solenoids ·Constitution of a collaboration structure and more detailed distribution of tasks and financial responsibilities ·Evaluation with the host laboratory of the requirements on space, facilities, safety and radiation issues, and infrastructure Submission of proposal in the course of 2002.

7. Video Conferences and Collaboration meetings *MICE* April 8 April 29 May 20 June 10 COLLABORATION MEETING 8+9 July 2002 RAL *Please register*! aims: Technical decisions Conceptual design of everything! who could (would) build what – at what cost! COLLABORATION MEETING 17-18 October in Berkeley who does what Schedule of tests for remaining questions (decision tree)

9. first go at very incomplete tables of who does what

14. PRIORITIES (from Chicago Mice C. M) • Find a home for the experiment • Understand the X ray issue and quantify it in terms of • particle detector performance • 2.’ Develop reconstruction with noise and efficiencies • 3. Chose detectors and finalize magnet parameters • 4. Establish technical specs and cost estimates • 4’ Distribute contributions and begin fund hunt mission • 5. write proposal

15. PRIORITIES • Find a home for the experiment (getting there) • Understand the X ray issue and quantify it in terms of • particle detector performance -> RAL collab. meeting? • 2.’ Develop reconstruction with noise and efficiencies • RAL collab. meeting? • 3. Chose detectors and finalize magnet parameters • (spectro: 40 cm diam. Good field in 1m long X 15m rad ) • RAL collab. meeting? • 4. Establish technical specs and cost estimates • Berkeley collab. meeting? • 4’ Distribute contributions and begin fund hunt mission • RAL collab. meeting? • 5. write proposal -> dec. 2002

16. We need a steering group meeting next week proposal: wednesday 17. same time. OK?
