March 29th, 2019

Attended:

Following the message from Curtis on the PAC schedule

• Timeline for PAC47 approval within GlueX
  • April 1: Proposal proponents request an internal review for endorsement
  • April 8: Draft proposal submitted to internal review committee with charge from CB
  • May 15: Internal review committee responds to charge, then CB and EG decide if proposal will be put up for a vote (at Collaboration Meeting)
  • May 27: Initiate vote for proposal endorsement (2 weeks for vote)
  • June 10: PAC47 proposal deadline

For the April 8th deadline we plan to address the comments from the previous (PAC46) report:

• Effects of systematic uncertainties on our results
• Lack of awareness of competition in the international community, and impact this has on scheduling
• The proponents should describe the physics impact (for example, how will new baryon states test lattice QCD?), including effects of systematic errors on partial wave analyses.
• Demonstrate that systematic errors are under control, given the very small systematic errors expected, including energy resolution and acceptance at low -t.
• Move unnecessary sections to appendices to condense the material for the reviewers.

GlueX White Paper [1].

Tentative agenda of our meeting:

- The GlueX Collaboration endorsement issue.

- Status of revised proposal.

- Our next meeting.
