ECCE Public Announcements

["Wenliang (Bill) Li" <billlee AT jlab.org>]

Dear Exclusive, Diffractive & Tagging enthusiasts,

Thanks to your participation, we had very good discussions last 
Wednesday and Thursday on the strategy toward the publication.

Please see below for a summary of conclusions:

1. eA diffractive study will become a separate publication. This will 
include the eA phi production study by Justin. The objective of the 
publication is to share the ECCE experience in this extremely 
challenging measurement and provide requirements to the accelerator 
project design team for both IP6 and IP8.

2. There will be a summary paper to include all other studies from both 
working groups (TCS, eA-DVCS, u-Channel DVCS and pi0, ep-J/psi, ep DEMP, 
XYZ mesons, pion form factor, pion structure-function, and more). We 
will start as one paper, and could always further group different 
studies into separate papers during the writing stage (as an example, a 
dividing line between DVCS and DEMP processes). The target publisher for 
the summary paper is the NIM.

Logistics wise:
a. At the beginning of the writing stage, we will meet bi-weekly, please 
fill the time poll for the first meeting time next week:

b. Peter is setting up the paper GitHub repository and overleaf for both 
papers, I will circulate further information once these are ready. 
Additionally, there will be a paper-specific mailing list, and 
communication and discussion through Discord and Mattermost are encouraged.

c. There will be a new round of simulation to help further polish the 
result for publication, and an announcement will be made on this soon.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know.

Many thanks

Axe, Julie, Rachel, and Bill
