1st PH-DT Steering Board Meeting
========================
Participating: Ferdinand Hahn, Christian Joram, Antti Onnela, Allain Gonidec (chairman), Marzio Nessi, Austin Ball, Lars Leistam, Werner Witzeling, Ernst Radermacher,Veronique Wedlake (minutes)
Excused: Philippe Bloch
Presentation (Christian):
. DT structure and organisation
. Overview of 2008 activities and manpower attribution
. Maintenance and operation of LHC experiments (2009 - )
. Outlook on new projects
. Some questions by M. Nessi related to resource allocations and R&D.
Various items
==========
. Space issues:
-----------------
+ Departmental Silicon Facility: High class clean room - Space attribution to be reviewed in one year time. No objections by experiments.
+ Crystal Palace Hall 168: CMS is currently freeing it. - to be used for DT projects
+ B154 Clean room: used by ATLAS pixel, essentially for storage - should be made available for future (tracker upgrade) projects
. Detector cooling:
--------------------
+ Discussion about the proposal of creating a PH cooling activity
- general agreement to the approach
- the proposed initial DT Mandate looks reasonable
- the role of the proposed 'Working Group' is less clear. A. Ball proposed to call it a 'Project' instead.
- Experiments expect that the major part of the resources come from DT.
+ Conclusion:
PH + DT to define a more concrete proposal (structure, mandate, names) in 2 weeks time.
==========================================
Presentation (Ferdi):
. Pending M&O work packages for MCP, DSS, RCS...
. Conclusion: WP will be approved in its current form. Scope will be reviewed when more operational experience is available with the possibility to add other common elements to the piquet service.
