7. AGS RSVP Weekly Meeting P. Pile 16 September 2004 Homework Jon Kotcher is planning to seek additional FY 2005 funds for the project What else do we need to ask for? –I need input from WBS managers ASAP

8. AGS RSVP Weekly Meeting P. Pile 16 September 2004 MECO Magnet Review 10-12 October 2004 (Columbia University) CHARGE: [1] What are the functional requirements of the MECO magnet system? (a) present magnet design and status -- conductor/layout/tolerances/margins (b) sensitivity of experiment to changes in magnet parameters (c) technical risks and sensitivity to design choices/ justification of choices (d) schedule (e) costs [2] What is the optimum scenario for achieving the required MECO magnet system in the appropriate time frame? Specifically, evaluate all plausible mechanisms for magnet procurement and include all technical, cost, schedule, and integration and management issues.

9. AGS RSVP Weekly Meeting P. Pile 16 September 2004 MECO Magnet Review (cont’) AGENDA: Sunday 10 October Executive Session Overview of MECO and MECO magnet Presentations re functional requirements of magnet system Executive Session – first discussion and formulate questions Questions to MECO Monday 11 October Executive Session Answers to yesterday’s questions Presentations re procurement mechanisms Presentations re management, cost and schedule Executive Session – formulate questions Questions to MECO Tuesday 12 October Executive Session Answers to yesterday’s questions Executive Session – formulate conclusions and recommendations Closeout – Presentation of conclusions and recommendations to MECO

10. AGS RSVP Weekly Meeting P. Pile 16 September 2004 AGS Review 4-5 (6 th ?) November 2004 (BNL) CHARGE: to be determined My understanding (so might not be right!): The review will cover all aspects of the AGS WBS Will emphasize AGS/Booster/Switchyard modifications that are new to the project  i.e. we need to make our case at this review The review will not look at PMP’s, PEP’s etc, or at detailed schedules. Costs will likely be a key issue – concentrate on the present “spreadsheet” approach and collecting backup material for costs. The schedule needs to be sufficiently developed to understand how the AGS/Booster/Switchyard work will be incorporated into MECO and K0PI0 beam development More guidance on will be forthcoming
