2. Unprecedented Data Samples
Gap studies barely started on jet + Z analysis (Tamsin)
Huge data samples on tape in these and other areas:
J/, W, b, photon
How about diffractive top?
Glueballs?
What are we waiting for????
Added bonus:
It turns out that last several months data has working dipole detector (Mike)
After shutdown: Full FPD
Need your help to get physics results out!!!

3. Alas: Missing Software (as of Beaune)
FPD_Reco Integration: D0Reco
Trigger Simulator: Raw Data
Forward Vertexing: L3 & Offline
L3 Geometry: Offline
DST & TMB Info: D0reco
FPD_Analyze: Offline (DST+TMB)
Alignment Tool (offline): Elastic stream
Calibration Tool (offline): LMB + Data
L2 Gap Tool

4. Incomplete Software L3 Single Interaction Tools FPD Examine
Automatic Pot Motion Software
Event Display
Database
FPD analysis
Gap analysis …

5. Goals for 2003 (from Feb.)
Data taking with integrated Phase I
Add FPD triggers to global list
Complete funding and implementation of Phase II
Preliminary results on several physics topics
Would like to produce a detailed list in all areas: detector, software, PID, physics

6. Steps Needed for Physics
Partial list of steps needed to get to physics
quality data:
Commission AFE’s
Include trigger scintillator information/
basic and/or terms
Alignment of FPD
FPD database
Activate FPD_Reco
Halo understanding, reduction, and rejection
FPD info in DST’s and Thumbnails

7. Pressure to Produce Need results to justify use of bandwidth
Luminosity is going up (along with halo)
FPD window is limited (quadrupoles out in 2006)
New orbits at some point may lower acceptance
Many new CDF results
