HallD Collaboration Issues

1
Hall-D Collaboration Issues

• George Lolos
• University of Regina
• May 2004

2
MOUs

• Template
• Hardware/Software
• Theoretical
• Contributions to Collaboration affairs
• On current RD and Long Term Commitments
• Hall-D membership requires an approved MOU

3
Templates

• CMU, Ohio, IU and UofR have posted sample MOUs
• Not all sections are applicable to all
  institutions and/or groups
• Emphasis on commitments and deliverables
• GlueX not necessarily the sole research effort
  but clearly the main effort of group

4
Hardware/Software

• RD and post-RD commitments
• Manpower with realistic fractions of research
  time dedicated to GlueX
• Timelines to completion of tasks assuming funding
  is available

5
Theoretical

• Its difficult to put theoretical deliverables
  into the same mold as hardware/software
• Research (e.g. publications, students, workshops)
  in the physics of confinement, exotic hybrids and
  related topics that are of direct interest to
  GlueX
• Research effort that is sustained and based on
  GlueX physics
• Contributions to PWA related input is of
  particular value and importance

6
Contributions to The Collaboration

• Active participation in meetings, conference
  calls and workshops
• Presentations to conferences and public domain
• Participation in respective working groups
• Election to CB and other voting bodies within the
  Hall-D Collaboration
• General good citizenship within Hall-D

7
RD and Post-RD

• RD phase is approaching the end for many tasks
• We need to identify remaining RD and the time
  frames for their completion
• Assumption of commitments with time lines for
  completion of Hall-D to data taking
• Important input into the Collaborations input to
  the Lehman Review process
• Will help us identify tasks that need new
  manpower in GlueX

8
MOU Membership

• Membership in Hall-D means firm commitments
  secured by MOUs
• MOUs are two way commitments of two parties
  supporting each other between an institution and
  Hall-D/GlueX
• Individual MOUs are the first step toward a
  contract with JLab/DOE
• Will constitute the building blocks of the final
  Hall-D/GlueX MOU with JLab/DOE

9
Conclusions

• With CD-0 approved, theres no excuse for
  uncommitted manpower within groups already in
  Hall-D
• Group leaders should be factual in their manpower
  lists so we all have a real basis of effective
  manpower
• MOUs with well defined commitments and
  expectations constitute our own basis for
  progression to the next phases of Hall-D/GlueX
• Its critically important to identify tasks for
  new member groups
