From bfleming@phys.columbia.edu Mon Jun 4 17:58:54 2001 Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2001 15:49:24 -0400 (EDT) From: "Bonnie T. Fleming" To: johna@anl.gov, hal@anl.gov, holt@anl.gov, geesaman@anl.gov, olness@pascal.physics.smu.edu, gallag@hep.umn.edu, ukyang@hecate.fnal.gov, rex@iucf.indiana.edu, jorge@fnal.gov, reimer@anl.gov, potterveld@anl.gov, charlie@iucf.indiana.edu, wmelnitc@physics.adelaide.edu.au Subject: Minutes for Non-oscillation physics group for the Proton driver study -- Monday, June 4th Hi Working group, Here are minutes from today's meeting: We began by discussing the talks to be given at the Proton Driver Workshop at FNAL this week on June 6th-7th. We have two talks scheduled with title and speakers: There's more to neutrinos than oscillations: Nu's from the Booster -- Rex Tayloe Nu's from the Main Injector -- Paul Reimer (?) The Proton Driver Study document has a chapter devoted to us. Thanks to Chuck and Rex who have completed and turned in their section. The document is due on Thursday, so allowing time for Jorge and I to put it all together and for the group to read it one last time, we need to have all the sections in hand by Tuesday evening. **So please send me your sections by Tuesday evening -- that's tomorrow!** Discussion followed about our agenda and schedules for Snowmass. It looks like the second week will be the best time for our group to overlap there -- this is the week beginning on July 10th. I will look into the availability of videoconferencing facilites there. What do we want to accomplish at Snowmass? We have a good start on the theoretical part of non-osc. neu physics, we need to expand the detector studies and systematic studies. There will be time and facilites to do detector studies at Snowmass, so this can be accomplished. Paul suggested we have a joint session with the fixed target working group since non-oscillation nu physics has been specifically excluded from their charge but is of interest to them. The work from this group can be turned into a proposal for a post MINOS, NUMI beamline experiment. At Snowmass, a timescale and agenda can be layed out toward this effort for a proposal to possibly be submitted in the fall. At the end of Snowmass, we will want to hand HEPAP a report on our working group's findings, not only for physics with the benefit of a proton driver, but in general what's important and what can be accomplished. Our next and last meeting before Snowmass will be held on Wednesday, June 20th at 9am. Please email me any objections to this date ASAP. Thanks! Bonnie
