## PHENIX Special Runs In Run 9

- John Haggerty
*Brookhaven National Laboratory*

- John Haggerty

## Priorities for this run (time ordered)

- HBD commissioning at the beginning during setup
- Accumulate at least 10 pb-1 of longitudinally polarized pp at 500 GeV
- 5 weeks of physics with the minimum delivered luminosity 40 pb-1 * 0.5 (vertex) * 0.89 (livetime) * 0.77 (uptime) = 13.6 pb-1
- Luminosity and polarization development at 500 GeV to fill out ten week run
- 200 GeV longitudinally polarized pp is next priority, but only if the run is extended long enough to achieve our physics priority:
- “Longitudinally polarized proton-proton collisions at √s = 200 GeV with 60% average polarization for 10-12 weeks, sufficient to record an integrated luminosity of about 25 pb-1 in PHENIX and about 50 pb-1 in STAR.”

- John Haggerty

## Running conditions needed for HBD testing

- The Central Magnet field configuration has to be the lower field “+-” configuration for HBD commissioning during the setup period through the first week of stable “physics” running
- Switching the field to “++” requires a few hours between fills
- It is possible we will need to request 1-3 shifts at that time to physically remove the HBD

- John Haggerty

## Running conditions needed for muon trigger

- We presently do not envision any special running conditions for testing these systems

- John Haggerty

## Transverse running

- We’ll want some small amount of transverse running to commission improved local polarimetry, which we can probably get parasitically with machine development, but if that isn’t sufficient, we’d want one or more overnight shifts of transverse running early in the run

- John Haggerty

## Other special conditions

- Low luminosity running at 500 GeV
- At top luminosity, very large double interaction rate (>50% of crossings are multiple interactions at the beginning of store)
- If the luminosity is as high as we think it will be, we may need to accumulate some fraction of the data with reduced luminosity
- Zero field runs
- PHENIX needs more frequent zero field runs for beam position measurement and alignment; usually little effect on RHIC
- Vernier scans
- More frequent vernier scans are useful for luminosity determination

- John Haggerty

## Short run extensions

- If the run is extended for a short period (1-2 weeks) after the 500 GeV run, what should we do?
- Continue data taking and luminosity development at 500 GeV if it is productive
- If statistics are marginal but luminosity and/or polarization are still increasing, it would be most productive to extend the 500 GeV run
- If we have exceeded our minimum goals at 500 GeV, we should go on to other running priorities: 22.4 GeV pp comparison running

- John Haggerty

## 22.4 GeV comparison running

- Improve systematics on RAA at lowest RHIC energy
- Heavy ion collisions at RHIC lack comparison data from pp
- BUP asks for 2.5E9 events sampled
- Should prepare more detailed luminosity and trigger projections, but probably 1 week sufficient
- Minimal setup should be needed

- John Haggerty

## State Safety Management Programmes: The Regulator’s Challenge

## Major Discussion Points

**Intended objective for the ICAO definitions stated**
- SMS a management tool for the service provider to manage safety
- SSP a management tool for the State to manage safety within that State

## Major Discussion Points

**Experiences with advancing the SSP**
- Varying degrees of implementation that are striving to comply with ICAO
- Lessons Learned from TCCA
- Need for own internal management system
- Need to address enforcement policy.
- Need to adapt oversight system..
- All panel members stated that they were setting up internal management systems in the SSP

**Notes:**
Lessons Learned: Three key lessons- 1) need our own internal management system (need performance targets, ways of measuring performance, integrated business plans...) 2) need to address enforcement policy.  Key to the SSP.  3) You need to look at how you oversee your system.  A system based approach that looks at system level compliance.

FAA stated that they would not impose on industry anything that they wouldn’t impose on themselves.  EU is mandating management systems on their authorities.  

## Major Discussion Points

**Data differences for SSP and SMS**
- Sources of data for the SSP
- Analysis of observations during oversight
- Occurrence reporting
- Shared information between service providers and authorities through SMS framework
- Results of external audits on authorities
- Voluntary reporting
- Same data as used for SMS but used by SSP at the more strategic level.  Overlaying many sources of data provides more insightful response

## Major Discussion Points

**Acceptable Level of Safety**
- SMS
- SMS Requirements
- Performance Indicators (quantified)
- Performance Targets (quantified)
- Safety Requirements
- SSP
- Acceptable levels of safety not intended to be quantified at the State level.

## Reaction from the Floor

**Will the judge agree that the Safety Performance Indicators agreed by the authority were acceptable after the accident?**
- Response “maybe” but using a structured approach to define the indicators and measure them puts you in a defensible position

## Reaction from the Floor

**Setting quantified safety targets at the National level is possible but the difficulty is in how you apportion them.**
- Response from panel members was that you couldn’t nor shouldn’t quantify them.
- Two level of objectives
- Macro objectives (qualitative)
- Micro objectives (qualitative or quantitative)

## Reaction from the Floor

**If SMS reliant on a just culture, how does the regulator go about implementing a just culture?**
- Regulator can’t regulate a culture but can create an environment for a just culture.
- What we need is effective safety reporting, that is the process.  Mixing words like safety and culture is a “recipe for disaster.”  Safety culture is not an ends but an enabler.

## Pixel Week

- February 2004

## Sectors and Frame

- Sectors
- No new sectors since December
- Personnel doing other things. Way ahead of modules
- Next sector batch(8) in March
- Frame
- Steady but slow progress on pin bonding and survey. This is a complicated process to achieve best precision.
- Central frame done by end February.
- Personnel doing other things
- No rush given shell schedule projections

## PP1 Fittings

- Leak reported at December pixel week in tests of irradiated exhaust fittings with C3F8 at 50C turned out to be small leak in Swagelok fittings in manifold.
- This was corrected. A higher vapor pressure fluorocarbon was used in the leak detection process. This resulted in an inadvertent pressure of about 28 bar. This caused no damage.
- Fittings have been under test again since early January, see plot next page. No leaks.
- Testing of inlet fittings is progress OK. Test regime is different eg. test at elevated temperature, 50C.
- Still must demonstrate reliability of inlet fittings, this will take at least until April.

## PP1 Exhaust Fitting Pressure Test

## Type I Test Setup

- Insulated

- Covered

- PP0 End

## Example of Measurement

- Time

- PP1 Flex

- PP0 End

## Summary of Results

- Temperatures measured in the wire bundle and, for some tests, air temperature.
- Different cases
- Wire insulated
- Not insulated, open to air, maximum convection
- Covered(see previous page) most similar to real case
- Cooling at PP0 end(as would be the case for optoboards)
- Our conclusion: stay with wire gauge as in current services document
- Note that Cu already known to be added to the flex, this was not the case in these tests. Flex temperature will be less in the experiment.

## PP1 Leak Rate Test

## PP1 Leak Rate

- Measured rate was roughly 1 cc/mbar-min or 0.06 l/mbar-hr
- The spec for the entire PST is 6 l/mbar-hr
- Extrapolating the test to the final system is not so straightforward but is probably a factor of 10-20. So we appear to be able to meet the spec.
- However, it will be prudent to be able to use a removable adhesive (eg. silicone based) in case we get into trouble in the final assembly.

## Software Engineering

- Dr. Thomas E. Potok
- Adjunct Professor UT
- Research Staff Member ORNL

## Exam Review

- CMM
- Requirements Engineering
- Project cost estimation
-    Cost Models (COCOMO)
-    Process Models (PERT)
- Project Planning
-    Software Development Life Cycles
-    Risk Management

## CMM

- Five levels of maturity for an organization
- 1) Initial;
- 2) Repeatable;
- 3) Defined;
- 4) Managed;
- 5) Optimizing.

## How to gather and record requirements

- Traditional approach is the JAD (Joint Application Development) session
- Domain experts are taught rudimentary data modeling and data flow diagramming techniques, then lead by an expert into developing a design
- A beginning design can be developed in a few days

## OO approach

- Another methods is the use of scenarios, or use cases to gather requirements
- The customer deals in his or her domain describing what the computer system should do.
- The programmer needs to understand the basics of the domain, and work through inconsistencies or problems in the scenarios.

## Productivity

- Team Productivity = Project Output/Project Effort
- Programmer productivity = Programmer Output/Programmer Effort
- Productivity typically measured in LOC/Person-month

## Basic COCOMO

- Organic - small to medium size, familiar projects
- Person-months=2.4(KLOC)1.05
- Development-time = 2.5(PM).38
- Semidetached - intermediate
- Person-months=3.0(KLOC)1.12
- Development-time = 2.5(PM).35
- Embedded - ambitious, tightly constrained
- Person-months=3.6(KLOC)1.20
- Development-time = 2.5(PM).32

## PERT

- Project Evaluation and Review Technique
- Developed for the Navy Polaris Missile Program
- Directed Acyclic Graphs of project activities
- Used for estimation and control of a project

## Two components of risk

- Potential loss or impact
- What is the impact of a potential risk
- If it happens, what is the result
- Catastrophic - substantial loss of life, money, or property
- Major - Significant injury, loss of money, or property
- Minor - Mild injury, loss of money, or property
- Trivial - Minimal injury, loss of money, or property

## Two components of risk

- Probability of occurrence
- What is the probability that the risk will occur
- How likely is it that the risk will occur
- Quite likely - will occur
- Likely - Probably will occur
- Unlikely - Probably will not occur
- Rare - Very unlikely

**Senior Advisor**
**National Health Information Infrastructure**
**Department of Health and Human Services**

**National Health Information Infrastructure**
**July 22, 2004**

## Overview

**What is the Problem?**
**What is a Community of Practice?**
**Why have a CoP for LHIIs?**
**What are the activities of a CoP?**

## I. What is the Problem?

**Working in isolation on a difficult problem is very challenging**
**Must solve every problem yourself**
**No source of guidance**
**No source of experience**
**No colleagues to discuss ideas**
**Easy to get discouraged**
**People who do similar work naturally want to interact**
**Organizations in every imaginable field of endeavor**

## II. What Is a Community of Practice?

**A group of people who:**
**share a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic**
**interact with each other on an ongoing basis to deepen their understanding and knowledge of this area **
**	****	****	****- Etienne Wenger**

## Growing Interest in CoPs

**Increasing specialization of knowledge**
**No one person has all the answers**
**Need team approach to solve problems**
**Ability of technology to bridge time & distance**
**Asynchronous communication**
**Conference calls (including video)**

## III. Why a CoP for LHIIs?

**Problems are complex (Lorenzi, 2004)**
**Buy in**
**Governance**
**Ownership of Data**
**Finance**
**Technology**
**Still much to learn**
**Few implementations**
**All in early stages**
**Geographic Isolation**

## IV. Activities of CoP Members

**Sharing information, insight, and advice**
**Solving problems and help each other**
**Thinking about common issues**
**Discussing their situations, aspirations and needs**
**Creating tools, standards, manuals, and other documents**

## Multiple Leadership Roles

**Successful communities of practice draw on more than one leader**
**thought leadership**
**day-to-day leadership**
**librarian leadership**
**interpersonal leadership **
**cutting-edge leadership**

- Adapted from Etienne Wenger

## Multiple Communication Channels

**Face-to-face conferences**
**Audio/video teleconferences**
**Visits**
**Web Sites**
**Threaded discussions**
**Online document sharing**
**Listserv**
**E-mail**
**Informal one-on-one interactions**

## Time Synchronized Portable Muon Tagger

- Jonathan Eisch
- University of Wisconsin - River Falls

## IceTop calibration

- Muons are nice for calibrating IceTop detectors.
- External telescopes can provide higher certainty single muons.
- No way to integrate external detectors in the IceCube DAQ.

- Jonathan Eisch - IceCube Collaboration meeting, spring 05, Berkeley, CA

## The solution!

- Independent gps time synchronized muon trigger to tag muons for offline analysis
- Should be small, low power, portable, easy to use.

- Jonathan Eisch - IceCube Collaboration meeting, spring 05, Berkeley, CA

## Developed by University of Washington for the WALTA cosmic ray experiment.

- Prevent runaway processes from affecting users
- Help move long running jobs to off hours

- Break applications
- Break extension systems
- Prevent users from getting information they need

***Bottom Line: Implementation to Production***
***only after mitigating application and user risks***

## Summary of Changes

- Resource plans set priority for processing if there is contention for CPU
- Online_group (users)
- Commons 50%
- Internal IMPAC 35%
- Batch_group (link accounts, bridge) 10%
- Other 5%  - users not in any group
- Limits reduced for CPU per statement
- User limit reduced from 13 to 3 minutes
- Link limit reduced from unlimited to 13 minutes (more considered for off hours)
- Idle time reduced from 4 hrs to 2 hrs
- Disk reads per statement
- User limit set to 8Mb
- Link limit set to 24Mb

## High-level Plan for Dependable Performance

- Alert extension system owners of plans and ensure they plan to port their applications to IMPSTG after it is refreshed 7/18/03
- Set new profile limits and resource plans in Test and Stage after July acceptance testing is completed 7/21
- Testers regression test application ~ 3-4 wks
_**Identify problem areas**_ and either tune application or increase limits
- Have ICs test in IMPSTG
- Tune their extension system interface
- Keep IMPSTG open for IC development/testing
- If LINK accounts need more resources, consider allowing larger limits off hours (8pm to 8AM)
- After testing and approval by Link users/Testers, deploy config changes to prod (Target 8/31/03)

## Benefits

- More consistent and improved performance for all users and applications
- Identify problem areas in the applications, extension systems, bridges, or batch jobs
- Save $$$ - do more with less
- Support more load without adding significant new technical infrastructure
- These recommendations are a best practice for enterprise systems

## Section 508 Accessibility

- eRA Project Management Team
- April 9, 2002

## The Need

- Section 508 requires all Federal electronic and information technology to be accessible to those with disabilities
- Includes Federal and Federally-sponsored projects
- Compliance liability responsibility rests with agency and contracting officers, not vendors/contractors

- eRA Project Team

## Challenge of compliance

- Requirements are outcome-based, not proscriptive
- Trade-offs between ideal or preferred design and accessible alternatives
- Methods to meet guidelines continually evolving
- No agency tasked with oversight; final decisions only from court

- eRA Project Team

## Types of tools

- Repair software – provides assistance to developers in correcting code with errors
- Checking software – scans completed code and cites instances of non-compliance
- Monitoring software – scans pages on an ongoing basis to assist in the maintenance of Section 508 compliance

- eRA Project Team

## Where we are today

- eRA Style guide – revised to include 508 guidelines, resources, and testing techniques
- Training – completed for programmers and quality assurance testers
- Tools Evaluation and Selection plan – reviewed and approved by Kalpesh and Johnnie
- Ready to begin needs assessment and tools evaluation

- eRA Project Team

## What we need to do

- Conduct needs assessment/tools evaluation
- Recommend appropriate software to:
- Reduce testing time
- Improve/monitor compliance
- Purchase and support tools
- Provide technical assistance to testing/QA staff and developer staff

- eRA Project Team

## Update of L0 Noise Studies

- New prototype (=4th prototype) with SVX4 on the L1 hybrid reads out signal via the analog cable!
- Noise studies using the 3rd prototype with SVX2.

- Kazu Hanagaki / Fermilab

- Mystery --- nearby metal (with grounded) does not affect the noise level???
- shielding/grounding scheme.

## First results by SVX4

- Huge noise from HV or grounding loop of HV lines???

## First results by SVX4

-  We really need to understand the noise.

## Noise dependence on the spacer thickness

- total

- random

-  Again no effect on either the total or random noise.

## The Puzzle – metal near the analog cable.

- Shielding metal connected to the grounded box or the HDI.

- Aluminum foil connected to the purple card’s GND

- total

- total

- random

- random

## Capacitance consideration

|  | Meas | FE calc |
| --- | --- | --- |
| X-A w/o B | 0.355 | 0.322 |
| X-(A&B) | 0.472 | 0.421 |

- (For the very first prototype cable.)

| D (m) | C (pF/cm) |
| --- | --- |
| Far away | 0.338 |
| 200 | 0.543 |
| 100 | 0.578 |

- ANAYS calc for the current prototype

- With naïve calculation... (for 43 cm long strip)

- C = 0/(ln(d/r)) ~ 10pF

- C’ = 20/(ln(2h/r))

- ~ 6pF

## Shielding Scheme 1

- We learned anyway that grounding to HDI is better.  tried more realistic shielding scheme (= no external shielding around the box, but only the internal shielding connected to the HDI).

- It works! (compare the previous slides)
- No difference between the two scheme.

- Cables wrapped by aluminum foil.

- Aluminum foil only on top and bottom of cables.

## Shielding Scheme 2

- Noise reduction looks proportional to the shielded area (because the noise we are seeing is RF pickup).                  obviously covering whole area is needed.

- edge

- center

- Noise level with external shielding

## Repeat and confirm the same effect by the new prototype with SVX4.
Shielding effect for external noise source                           frequency dependence.
Miniature of L0 module, probably with using the L1 hybrid (or even the newest prototype?).

Area of the aluminum strip to the CF fixture will be tested.

## Proton Plan Meeting

- Agenda:
- Project/campaign reorganization: Prebys
- Status updates: all
- Booster Water Proposal: Cooper

## What’s in a Name?

- Scenarios (current name shown in **green**):
- “Stage 1”: MINOS era (concurrent with Run II), aka: “business as usual”, Proton Plan,  Proton Plan 1, **Proton Plan**
- Ramp up to deliver slip stacked protons to both NuMI and antiproton production
- Continue to deliver protons to the 8 GeV line at some level
- Goal:
- ~380 kW to NuMI
- 1-2E20 protons to 8 GeV line
- Status: in progress
- “Stage 2”: Nova era (after collider program), aka: SNuMI I, Proton Plan 2, **“part of Nova”**
- Use Recycler as a pre-loader to the Main Injector to eliminate loading time
- Becoming a formal plan.
- Goal
- ~700 kW to NuMI line
- Status: “probable”
- “Stage 3’ ”: enhanced NoVA++, aka: Obietron, McGinnis-o-tron, SNuMI II, **SNuMI**
- Use Antiproton Accumulator Ring to momentum stack protons
- Boxcar stack these protons into Recycler
- Load into Main Injector
- Goal
- ~1.2 MW to NuMI line
- Status: “wait and see what happens with ILC”.
- “Stage 3”: 8 GeV Linac, aka: Proton Driver, Foster’s folly, **“HINS”**
- Always a possibility, but not part of our baseline thinking at the moment.
- Status: only if the ILC is not built, or not built for a* very* long time.

## Recent Developments

- It was decided in Washington the NoVA project would be combined with the accelerator activities required to make it a success
- Not so crazy when you think about it
- NoVA now “assimilates” the effort to retask the recycler as a MI preloader (most recently called “SNuMI”).
- NoVA goes from $200M->$240M
- By the end of the Proton Plan, the Booster/Linac will be “good enough” to support NoVA alone
- All Booster activity dropped from NoVA/SNuMI
- Moved to Proton Plan
- Only included 15 Hz hardware upgrades needed for things beyond, or in addition to, NoVA
- The good news:
- Booster and Linac people will not have to go to NoVA/SNuMI reviews
- Bad news:
- MI/Recycler people will now have like 10 reviews/year.

## Total Protons

- Present

## Booster Upgrades Cost Overview(no G&A or contingency, FY06K$)

- The cost is driven by the upgrades that are required to increase the average repetition rate of the Booster RF system
- Tuner cooling
- Bias supply improvement
- Anode supply refurbishment

## Booster Upgrades Schedule Overview

- Will move everything substantial to FY08 or beyond

## Prospective Candidates for EDM Experiments of New Type: Calculations of EDM Enhancement in HI+ and Liquid Xe.

- _T.A.Isaev_, A.N.Petrov, N.S.Mosyagin and A.V.Titov
*Quantum Chemistry Group, PNPI*
_*http://qchem.pnpi.spb.ru*_

## Search for “New Physics”

## Current Experiments on EDM Search

- YbF molecular beam experiment (*Imperial College*, UK, group of E.Hinds)
- PbO optic cell experiment (*Yale University*, USA, group of D.DeMille)
- GdIG garnet, solid state (L.R.Hunter, *Amherst*, S.K.Lamoreaux, *LANL*)

## Experiments of New Type

- Electron EDM
- 	On diatomic hydride cations with ground state 1 (, , ...- states)
- Nuclear Schiff Moment (Proton EDM)
- In liquids (Xe, Xe+polar diatomics)
- In solid state (PbTiO3)
-       All the experimental objects present a challenge for molecular theory

## Challenge To Theory

- Ground  -state means transition metal (or actinides) hydrides. Calculations of the electronic structure for transition metals (actinides) and their compounds is considered as non-trivial task in molecular theory 			       (Nature **433**(*848*) 2005, U2 molecule).
- Liquid or solid state means accounting for large number of the electrons.

## Hydride Cations With  Ground State

- 	Typical example is HI+ - ground state configuration is ******2********1/2**** ****2********3/2**** ****1**. Because  unpaired electron is ******3/2**, one cannot expect great enhancement of electron EDM. Unfortunately, there are some more reasons for EDM suppression in HI+.

## Methods of Calculations

## Methods of Calculations

- GRECP/NOCR Method (N.S. Mosyagin *et al*, Phys Rev A., **50**, 1994; A.V. Titov Int J. Quant. Chem, **57**, 1996)
- Correlation Methods: RCC (U.Kaldor*, *E.Eliav, A. Landau, Tel-Aviv, Israel* *); SODCI (R.Buenker *et al, *Wuppertal, Germany )
- Basis Sets (N.S.Mosyagin *et al*, J. Phys.B, **33**, 2000; T.A. Isaev *et al*, J.Phys B, **33**, 2000)
- Methods Development (T.A. Isaev *et al*, J.Phys B, **33**, 2000; A.N. Petrov *et al, *Phys. Rev A.* , ***72 **2005)

## What Is Calculated 

*H**P,T-odd **= W**d **d**e **(****J****** ****n****),* where de=| **d****e** |, 	      *(****J****** ****n****)=* - projection of the electron moment on molecular axis, 		      Wd – characterizes electron EDM enhancement.
- The value of Wd || can be considered as some effective electric field on electron, Eeff  Wd ||. It is not zero only because of relativistic effects,

## On HI+ Model

- 	HI+ ground state configuration in s-notation (nonrelativistic) ******2********3**
- 	Highest doubly occupied -orbital is bonding and most “mixed”:
- 	=5p0(I) +1s(H)
- 	This is not the highest by energy from the occupied orbitals, but gives 77% of the molecular dipole moment

## Skeletal Response to Weightlessness in the Female Murine Tibia

- Amy Brazin, NASA Apprentice
- Maria Squire, Ph.D. Candidate
- Stefan Judex, Ph.D.
- August 20, 2004

## Effects of Disuse are Site-Specific

- Metaphyseal BV/TV is 30% lower in disuse mice
- Metaphyseal Ct.Ar is lower by 15%as a result of a decrease in Ps.Ar and increase in Ec.Ar
- Yet, diaphyseal Ct.Ar was only minimally affected (3%)due to an insignificant increase in both Ps.Ar and Ec.Ar

-  Example:

## If I had more time, I would....

- Analysis male F1 mice for similar effects in the tibia
- Examine the osteoclast, osteoblast, and osteoid growth and population density in specific sites
- Research other causes of bone loss such as hormonal secretions

## 2007 Annual Authorship Survey

- Alan Jonckheere
- 2007 WorkshopMichigan State University

## Mandate

- March 06 IB meeting a proposal to create an “Associate Authorship” category was defeated.
- BUT the IB did mandate  an annual survey “**to better track Active, and Retired Authors. Each year authors individually verify their status via online (web) data collection conducted by the experiment”.** Further “The results are to be public.”

- MSU Workshop - IB meeting

- 6/19/2007

## Mandate – 2

- Details of the implementation of the survey were presented at Dec 06 IB meeting.
- The survey was conducted, starting on 22 Feb 07, ending 22 Mar.
- The next month was to allow responses from IB representatives.

- MSU Workshop - IB meeting

- 6/19/2007

## Results	

- 525 people were on both the masthead and the authorship list as of 28 Feb 07
- 503 responded to the survey.
- Of the 22 non-responders 13 had retired  or became authors since 1 Jan.
- 4 have been dropped – should have been long ago
- IB reps argued, and the spokes agreed that 2 should remain on the list (close calls)
- 3 *still* haven’t responded.

- MSU Workshop - IB meeting

- 6/19/2007

## Results 2

- Of the 503 responders
- 491 said YES they were active
- 12 said they had retired
- 4 after 1 Jan 07
- 1 still active at not quite the 12 hour/week level.
- 7 will be removed from the masthead and will begin their retirement as of the date they’ve specified. IB reps will be notified.

- MSU Workshop - IB meeting

- 6/19/2007

## Summary

- 512 should have responded
- 498 were active through 2006
- 3 are active at reduces levels  and have been kept on by the spokes due to extenuating circumstances
- 4 dropped immediately (IB rep request)
- 7 have asked to be entered as retired (IB reps have yet to request any of these)
- 3 have still not responded, will probably go into retirement. When??

- MSU Workshop - IB meeting

- 6/19/2007

## Next Steps

- Post results to D0News. I assume that names and institutions will be included.
- Decision needed
- Should this become an annual rite?
- Fairly time intensive for me at least.
- Biannual?
- Other?
