  1. Transversity Readiness and Timeline Xiaodong Jiang, March 17th, 2008.This document specifies the overall readiness for Hall A experiments E06-010/E06-011 at each stages to serve as a guideline for works from now till Oct. 6th, 2008. Physics production starts (Oct 20). Commissioning (Oct 10-Oct.19). Pre-beam ready (Oct. 6. 27 weeks from today). Installation (June 9 -Oct. 5. 17 weeks). Pre-installation ready (June 9). BigBite detector test run (late May). Installation for test run+lowQ-ep (May 9-May16). A checklist during π0 experiment (April 7th-May 7th). Remaining work during π0 installation (April 6th). Work in the test lab: Cherenkov+BB frame modification (March 24-May 3. 6 weeks left). Work in the target lab (10 weeks left before June 9).

  2. For each sub-system, please address the following: • A working system ready by Oct. 6th ? • Specify performance (# of p.e. etc.) ? • Special need of Hall A technical support. • Special safety issues need to be reviewed. • A list of minimum tests and a timeline. • Any long lead items need to be ordered ? Have spare parts in hand ? • On-site manpower. Experts during the run. • What if the next deadline is missed ?

  3. Pre-beam Readiness • Beamline. • Polarized 3He target and spin-flip. • BigBite and shielding. • HRS detectors. • Trigger and DAQ, coin TOF, scalers. • Slow controls. • On-line monitoring and replay software. • Manpower, RC, shift workers and expert list. • Documentations and instructions.
