There was an Intermediate Readiness Review last week for KLF during which physics analysis related topics were addressed. Members of KLF presented 12 talks to respond to the items listed in the charge of the review committee. We already received 12 recommendations that will need to be addressed by the next readiness review (ERR-2). The full report with the recommendations as well as the findings and comments will be released in a couple of weeks.

Addressing the comment about 128ns bunching, Moskov said that he plans to present a stronger physics case for the 128ns bunching to be presented to Patrizia.

Moskov also stated that KLF intends to build a new Start Counter. Eugene warned us that the design and construction status for this new detector will need to well advanced during the next ERR-2 in order to be able to get approved for installations. The next ERR-2 would need to happen sometime next summer for the KLF installations to be approved for the summer of 2026, meaning that the time for the design and construction of the new Start Counter is short.

Hovanes announced that procurements for KPT have been temporarily suspended until all related concerns are addressed and the engineering design is modified if needed. Eugene pointed out that due to the budget cuts the procurements at Jefferson Lab are currently limited to the items that are absolutely needed for near term operations. Procurement requests for items over $250 will need justified by the requester and then approved by the Physics Division.
