Andrew Hime Physics Division, LANL Some experiments being established PICASSO prototyping Now (in SNO space) DEAP-I to be installed this Fall (in SNO space) SNO + actively pursuing Funds & Collaboration Updates & Schedules for Other Prospective Experiments Discussed Here Requested brief status reports to accompany presentations Some Uncertainties Many projects in a stage of R&D … Is R&D / prototyping space required? Many projects seeking funds Prospects and schedule for DUSEL Need to establish appropriate forum for technical review and implementation Technical Research Proposals will be required Need to establish overall scientific organization of the facility Defining and Implementing an Initial Suite of Experiments & Scientific Roadmap
