1. SoLID: large acceptance, capable of handling high luminosity (up to~10 39 with baffle, up to ~10 37 without baffle)  Ideal for precision Inclusive-DIS (PVDIS) and SIDIS experiments  Excellent for selected exclusive reactions (ex. J/Psi) Five high impact experiments approved ( 4 with “A” rating, 1 A- rating):  PVDIS, E12-10-007  SIDIS: E12-10-006 (He3-T), E12-11-007 (He3-L), E12-11-108 (p-T)  J/Psi: E12-12-006 SoLID Overview/Physics J. P. Chen, Hall A Meeting, 12/18/2012

2. Nucleon Structure with SoLID Semi-inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering program: Large Acceptance + High Luminosity + Polarized targets  4-D mapping of asymmetries  Tensor charge, TMDs …  Lattice QCD, QCD Dynamics, Models. International collaboration (8 countries, 50+ institutes and 190+ collaborators) Rapid Growth in US‐China Collaboration (2 grants from NSFC + MOU) Chinese Hadron collaboration (USTC, CIAE, PKU, Tsinghua U, +) - large GEM trackers - MRPC-TOF Five experiments approved for SoLID with two having Chinese collaborators as co-spokesperson (Li from CIAE and Yan from USTC) Solenoidal Large Intensity Device (SoLID)

3. Parity Violation with SoLID Parity-violating Deep Inelastic Scattering: High Luminosity on LD2 and LH2 Better than 1% errors for small bins over large range kinematics Test of Standard Model Quark structure: charge symmetry violation quark-gluon correlations b(x): weak coupling a(x): quark structure information

4. Magnet:  Continue work with CLEO magnet /support  BaBar option: Decision to go with CLEO Simulations: Baffle, GEM/tracking/DAQ inputs, … Background, neutrons Detectors: “finalize” conceptual design  Light Cherenkov, support, PMT (Temple+), backup:HBD (Stonybrook)  Heavy Cherenkov, support (Duke+)  Calorimeters (UVa/Los Alamos+)  GEMs (UVa+): Large size, Readout, R&D with SuperBB  GEMs- China: foil production, medium size, readout  MRPC (Tsinghua+) DAQ (JLab/UMass): concern GEM readout size solution (with de-convolution, 1 sample) Other sub-systems: Targets Beam Polarimetry, … SoLID Status Update from Collaboration Meeting Whit/Zhiwen Seamus/Lorenzo Micheal Tom Mehdi/Gary Jin Nilanga Yuxiang Yi W. Yi Q. Dave/Chris Kent

5. SoLID Collaborators from China

6. Charge for Director’s Review (Rolf’s talk last meeting) 1 st draft of technical write-up on SoLID (~80%) http://solid.physics.umass.edu/~seamus/solid_techprop.pdf baseline equipment list rough cost (exclude GEMs (China), DAQ/electronics(JLab)): ~$25-30M JLab input to NSAC sub-committee SoLID funding profile 2016-2018, request US funding ~$35M Schedule  Director’s review (Late Spring/Summer?)  Discuss with DOE  Submit MIE (late 2013?)  CD process (2013-2015?) Preparation “Freeze” the conceptual design on susbsystems (Dec. 2012) Move forward with the magnet (decision on Babar option)  Design support structure, integration, configuration change-over  More detailed cost/manpower estimation  Sub-system responsibilities / R&D needs  Finalize the technical document (Jan/Feb?)  Resources: attract more collaborators, other sources of funding SoLID Status Update (cont.)
