E906/Drell-Yan History:

1997: Completion of E866/NuSea.

2001: Approved by Fermilab PAC —scheduling deferred until other fixed target experiments could also be ready to run.

2005-06: Scheme to run E906/Drell-Yan with minimal impact on Neutrino production developed. No need for major fixed target run.

2006: Fermilab PAC re-endorses wisdom of 2001 PAC.

2007: DOE/Nuclear Physics begins funding spectrometer upgrade 2007: Fermilab estimates cost (to Fermilab) to stage E906 at $1.5M in M&S plus manpower.

Requests collaboration obtains additional funding to cover the M&S cost.

2007-08: Additional institutes join collaboration (from Japan and Taiwan), taking responsibility for some of Fermilab’s tasks, and expect to provide additional money to Fermilab for E906/Drell-Yan infrastructure.

2008: Spectrometer redesign promises reduces cost, savings in DOE/Nuclear Physics money may be transferred to Fermilab.

Future Time Line

Caveat:Caveat: The crystal ball is murky.The crystal ball is murky. July (early) 2008: Fermilab cost estimate complete July (early) 2008: Geometry finalized

– significant input from this meeting and follow up July (late) 2008: Draft MOU circulated August 2008 (early): MOU finalized Fall 2008 to Spring 2009: Magnet and upstream beam line installation

– Includes preparation of KTeV Hall for our use

– Designed to give us access to KTeV Hall by Summer 2009 when significant student labor may be available.

Summer 2009: Spectrometer installation January 2010: Start of run.

– This is the earliest possible time

– Fermilab is planning for a “long” shutdown in 2012, but not yet scheduled. We would like to be done by then.

Caveat:Caveat: This schedule has not been vetted with FermilabThis schedule has not been vetted with Fermilab.. I have directly asked the question of when we might run, subject to funding scenario’s and expect an answer next week.

Critical Path

Collaboration and Fermilab agreement on MOU (memorandum of understanding)

– Must be finalized to spend (and obtain additional) DOE/Nuclear Physics Money and will outline our responsibilities.

Collaboration Station 1 MWPC design and fabrication

– received DOE permission to spend design money Station 3 Drift chamber design and fabrication DAQ system Station 3 and 4 Hodoscopes

Fermilab Beam line construction

– Upstream must be phased with Tevatron downtime Hall Preparation Magnet Assembly

Needed for our access to

KTeV hall

Realistic ScheduleI need your input on Resources that are needed for each task

– $$$ Money is limited and availability corresponds to fiscal year boundries

– Labor

– Equipment (e.g. phototubes for hodoscopes, Fermilab wire winding facilities, DAQ)

Time estimates for each task

Task coordinator

I will roll this information into a Gantt chart (MS Project)

Funding

We have $400k which can be spent now Possibility for some additional money in FY08 (now) Additional funds in FY09 (but this could be limited by a continuing resolution which

limits funds to DOE/NP) Funds in FY10? (we would like to be done by then!!)

Money from Japan (RIKEN) for common infrastructure is likely not available before April 2009.

Conclusion

We have a plan to get E906/Drell-Yan running! Time may be tight If we wait, money may slip away Contributions and efforts from our new collaborators can make this happen!
