October Workshop on DUSEL SCIENCE and Development of the MREFC

THE DEDC (DUSEL Experiment Development and Coordination) committee, the Sanford Laboratory and the LBNL DUSEL project office are hosting a workshop for DUSEL science from Sept. 30th - 3rd in Lead, South Dakota at the Golden Hills Resort. This meeting is universally open to all those scientists who would be interested in proposing underground experiments as well as those who have recently received S4 awards. The Sanford/LBNL facility seeks to further mature its relationships with the known experimental candidates and forge additional relationships as these or other experiments and applications become known to the project.

At the meeting we will review the timelines, deliverables, and communications required to integrate the experimental efforts with the facility plans in preparing the DUSEL documentation, the MREFC, for the NSB review, currently scheduled for the spring of 2011.

For the groups that have already provided some of the deliverables, we would like them to leave the meeting with a firm understanding of the schedule for completing these, a review of the materials already provided and a matrix of key experimental project staff that will be developing these items.

For other, newer experimental projects this meeting will provide an opportunity to initiate communications with the Sanford/LBNL facility, and we would like them to leave the meeting with a timeline for developing the project deliverables and the matrix of their staff that are working on these elements.

We will introduce the DUSEL project staff to all the experimental groups coming to the workshop and will ensure that the appropriate points of contact are introduced to all of the experimental collaborations.

We will update the experimental groups on the status of the facility and the DUSEL infrastructure to be proposed for the MREFC.

We will provide an opportunity for each experimental group to interact with the E&O component of the facility. We will also provide the experimental groups an opportunity familiarize themselves with the underground space that is available for experiments by utilizing the Vulcan database and visiting accessible underground locations.
