There would also be some parallel sessions, carefully coordinated to avoid conflicts, and a Soudan site visit in parallel with working groups. Special topic sessions should begin with general summaries of status, issues and plans so that special interest working groups can separate from the general meeting after the introductory talks if they wish. There will be two organized group dinners during the week, currently planned for Monday and Wednesday. The current version of the agenda, which is still preliminary, is reproduced below. All sessions will be held at Vermilion Community College in Ely.
Suggestions are welcome.
Photodetector situation Stan proposed that we review all Hamamatsu and DEP HPD measurements at Ely, and develop criteria and a schedule for making the final choice. An electronics design must be worked out for a specific DEP architecture. Stan urged the Collaboration to plan for a decision in about six months. Improvement of the near detector design, e. Reevaluation of cost estimates. Fermilab engineering effort is expected to become available in October to develop a conceptual design basis for a real cost estimate.
