Goals
The goals of this meeting included ensuring that alternatives for experimental equipment have been considered, that adequate space is provided in the experimental halls, and that all users communicate their specific equipment needs to FRIB and to each other. The workshop provided a venue for detailed consideration of concepts for specific instruments and consideration of the physics they will enable. Attendance by all those interested in the development of instrumentation for FRIB, regardless of whether they are specifically involved in one of the equipment collaborations or not, was necessary in formulating plans for FRIB. Prior to this workshop, users and user collaborations developed equipment ideas to be presented at the workshop.

Two Page Questionnaire for the
FRIB Science Advisory Committee (SAC) [in progress]
* FRIB UO reminds Conveners to complete the Questionnaire
[Click here to see the letter]
* FRIB UO reminds users to check
Working Groups pages for updated information
as they make plans for the workshop [message sent soon]
* Working Groups submit Questionnaire to Kim Lister (lister at anl.gov) BY FEBRUARY 15th
* Kim Lister forwards to FRIB SAC and arranges for posting at the
Working Groups pages [to be done]
At the Workshop
* Parallel discussion sessions are arranged for the Working Groups
* Working Group Conveners give presentations on their
plans for equipment in plenary sessions to attendees (including SAC members)
After the Workshop
* SAC meets and discusses plans of the Working Groups, writes a report,
makes recommendations
* Working Groups continue their plans and act on feedback from the SAC
