U.S. ATLAS HL-LHC Upgrade Level 2 and Deputies-NSF only Management Mailing List

[Hal Evans <hgevans AT indiana.edu>]

Hi all,

I've compiled all of your scope contingency/opportunity numbers into the 
attached table. I made a few minor modifications.

1. Trigger: I included an additional Trigger Opportunity - updating the 
gFEX algorithms for Phase-2.

2. Opportunity Dates: some of these were given only at the granularity 
of a year. I updated those to MMM-YY format, choosing a date arbitrarily.

Please have a look and let me know if I've made any mistakes.

Having this all compiled together highlights the fact that we are very 
thin on Physics impact/motivation for the contingency/opportunities. I 
realize that this will be difficult, but we should really include some 
sort of discussion of how these decisions could affect ATLAS physics. 
This can be hand-wavy (but obviously the more quantitative the better). 
The point is to demonstrate that we've thought about this NSF 
requirement for scope contingency/opportunity.

Please try to get me some input on this by Thursday.

Thanks  -  Hal
