CR#23

  • See Recommendations
  • Language is mixed up - single hall/2 IR's
  • Keep as an alternate but what does that mean - the test is confused.
  • Maintaining upgradeability in this respect is not correct
  • We don't know the impact/Engineering studies need to be complete.
  • Should be treated as other alternatives are treated
  • All configurations should be included in the RDR? Will they be included in the new baseline?
  • No alternatives in the RDR.
  • In the cost section, paragraph on all that may reduce costs & going back to 2 IR scheme.
  • BDS is single IR/single beamline

Task Force on Machine Detector Interface

  • Beyond what the CCB is about.
  • Reaction is from WWS and Machine Det. Interface
  • Not very focused, will be handled during the EDR phase
  • WWS has one had connection to us through the board. Not direct input to the GDE. CCB overstepped.
