1. Proposal: Towards a TDR A.TDR means Technical Design Report. B. TDR is detailed report of EXACTLY what will be done and includes detailed specifications. C. A good example of a TDR dated 7-27-2003 is “Conceptual Design Report for High p T Upgrade” that is 92 pages. (can get from PHENIX web) D. I have volunteered to organize TDR effort and edit.

2. A Possible Outline A.Introduction (physics, measurement capabilities, layout) B.Resistive Plate Chambers (capabilities, mechanical design, test results, assembly) C.Front End Electronics (capabilities, design, testing) D.Local Level One Trigger (capabilities, design, test results) E.Simulation (rates, background, etc.) F.Integration (plan and detailed layout) G.Cost and Schedule (part of CDR?) H.What items missing??

3. Action Plan A.I will produce more detailed plan by October 1, 2005 and we all review it. B.I need person (expert) to discuss details with of what goes into each section. C.Who are these people? D.Hope TDR outline will also be guide of jobs to be done. E.Propose TDR complete for PHENIX management July 2006. F.Is July 2006 the correct target date?
