sPHENIX EMCal discussion

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

Hello,

I am shepherding the effort to write the sPHENIX Preliminary Conceptual 
Design Report, and I would like to remind the authors that we agreed to 
show BNL management a snapshot of the document this Friday, Sep 18 
(i.e., two days from now).  Obviously, it's not done yet and won't be 
done on Friday, either, I think it's a way point like showing your 
thesis adviser your outline and some of the draft figures and text.

But we should strive to get as much content as we can into it, which we 
can then reorder, revise, rewrite.  You can see the document draft in 
real time here:

The section author-editors are here:

> %% Scientific Objective and Performance  John Harris, Jamie, Dave
> %% SC-Magnet                             Kin, Achim
> %% Tracker                               Ed, Yasuyuki,Itaru, Tom, Takao
> %% EMCal                                 Sean, Craig, Anne
> %% HCal                                  John, John, Edward
> %% Calorimeter Electronics               Eric, Chi
> %% DAQ/Trigger                           Martin, Eric
> %% Infrastructure                        Paul, Don
> %% Installation and Integration          Don, Dave
> %% Project Management                    Ed, Jim

but I would encourage anyone with good drawings, plots, or words to send 
them what you can now to incorporate into the pCDR.

I'll make a snapshot of the pdf at 11:59pm on Friday with what we have.

We have been asked to submit the next version of this document on 
Friday, October 2, but I think we should renegotiate that to Friday, 
October 9, which is still a month in advance of the November 9-10 BNL 
review, and leaves a week after Quark Matter, where many people who are 
writing and reading this document will be.
