Science & Technology Wuhan (HUST) (China)  PHOS electronics New Associate Institutes:  BARC, Mumbai (India)  PMD electronics  Universities of Hiroshima, Tokyo, Tsukuba (Japan)  TRD, PHOS Ongoing contacts  Turkey, Brazil, Spain, Pakistan, Korea …

3 28/4/2004 16th RRB J. Schukraft 3 Organisation & News Elections September 2004  CB chair: L. Riccati (INFN Torino) re-elected for 3 years  Deputy CB-chair: H. Boggild (NBI Copenhagen) elected for 3 years  Deputy Spokesperson:  H. A. Gustafsson (U. Lund): Jan 2005 – Mar 2006  P. Giubellino (INFN Torino): Oct 2005 – Mar 2006  Election for 4 MB members in Spring 2005 New Physics Board structure  increased weight on physics & analysis, get prepared for data ALICE Industrial awards 2004  Fischer, Austria: TPC Field cage, TRD readout panels  North Crystal, Apatity, Russia: PbW04 crystals  ATM, China: Tungsten absorber parts Trigger/DAQ/Controls TDR approved May 2004 Forward detector TDR submittedSept. 2004

4 28/4/2004 16th RRB J. Schukraft 4 Funding Issues US participation ~ 10 M$: EMCAL for jet physics  NSAC sub committee on US heavy ion program (GSI/RHIC/LHC)  final report October 2004 with positive recommendation for LHC  proposals exist from ALICE, Atlas and CMS Japan & China  Japanese participation (~ 10 M$): TRD, PHOS  proposal not funded in 2004, may be resubmitted end 2004  Chinese participation (~ 3 MSF): PHOS  proposal now to be submitted to MoST & MoE (no longer NSFC)  Consequences for PHOS  with the resources available we will be able to built only 3 modules  1 ready for installation in 2006/2007/2008 each.. The LHC will open up a new regime in relativistic heavy-ion physics with significant opportunities for new discoveries. The Subcommittee recommends that: Participation at the LHC should become a new component of the U.S. Heavy-Ion program. This participation should receive comparable investment priority with each of the near-term upgrade programs for the two large RHIC detectors.
