U.S. ATLAS HL-LHC Upgrade LAr Level 2 and Level 3 Managers Mailing List

[John Parsons <parsons AT nevis.columbia.edu>]

Hi Andy,

	As you can see below, Gustaaf is proposing to include the SMU and NYU 
f/w funding through the end of the project as part of the rebaseline 
work.  This is very good news, since we could get it approved soon by 
the PO and just have the NSF approval for this expanded scope as part of 
the overall rebaseline review.  It does, however, make more urgent my 
request to you to prepare the tasklists and get them to Jenn.
	As we discussed previously, I propose to extend the efforts through the 
rebaselined date when the main f/w work at U Az is scheduled to be 
finished, which is Oct. 2026. To present the pre-BCP, I think all we 
really have to have ready by 1/31 is the cost, which is basically "level 
of effort" for Lloyd at SMU and for your EE at NYU, plus some travel.  I 
am checking with TDAQ, but for now assume 50% of Lloyd on LAr.  A week 
later, we would need the full tasklists in P6 already.  Can you make 
that timetable?

        Regards,
                John

Hello John, Hong, Stephanie and Jinlong,

When we added FW contributions from NYU, Stanford and SMU, we only put 
in 2 years, to keep costs down and make sure this was effective. 
Before rebaselining, we should extend this work to the full expected 
contribution where we’re pretty sure this will be good for the project. 
(This seems clear for Stanford and SMU, we’ve seen less from NYU as it’s 
more of a support job, so please let us know what you want to do there.) 
 Given the time needed for simulation, etc, we should implement this in 
the next ~two weeks, so:

-pre-BCP presentation at 1/31 CCB
-full BCP presentation at 2/7 CCB

Can you work with your L3s and ICs to set up the task lists etc.?  (Just 
FYI, the funds basically come from the “unused HTT” pot.)

Thanks,

Your friendly PO
