The Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider Collaboration

Attendees: Bross, Kirk, Sessler,Kaplan, Cline, Weng, Hanson, Wurtele, Gallardo

• Item 1: Composition of EB (Harold)

There have been the following changes:
 a) D. Errede is not at EB anymore.
 b) Alan and Harold for being the new Co-spokespersons are in.
It is proposed to keep Steve Geer and B. Palmer in the EB; no objections. They 
will remain in the EB.

• Item 2: Composition of the TB (Harold)

There have been the following changes:
 a) Steve and Bob are dropped from the EB
 b) Of course Alan and Harold have been added
Alan: as new lines of R&D develop, they will eventually have to be incorporated 
to the TB; example: the Muon Collider Task Force at Fermilab.

• Item 3: Budget FY07 prepared by M. Zisman

 no comments. APPROVED

• Item 4: Collaboration meeting (Harold)

The Web site is up and can be reach from the NFMCC Web page under table of 
Workshops and Conferences. There is a special session on Muon Colliders the 
last day in coordination with the Fermilab "Muon Collider Task Force"
D. Cline suggest a few speakers for that session, Harold and Alan will contact 
candidates; two speakers will be sought. Candidates: G. Kane, V. Barger, 
J. Ellis, C. Hill.

Alan, include ISS report and International Design Study update; Ken Long is 
coming to the meeting so he could be the speaker; session on Mice also.
David Cline: Invite P. Oddone to the session on Muon Collider to 
give a presentation; it was agreed that it was a very good idea.

• Item 5: HEPAP meeting (Alan)

Next meeting is in Feb. 2007, the agenda is full; it was offered a 10 min slot; 
it was considered not enough time for a comprehensive presentation of the plans 
of the NFMCC. Alan requested a slot for the "spring" meeting it may be at the 
end of May or beginning of June. It was considered a good timing; we'll have 
MUTAC report on hand, possibly news form the World Design Study, progress with 
MICE and MERIT near to taking data.

• Item 6:MUTAC Meeting (Harold)

Contact were made with MCOG and R. Kephart trying to pin down the date for the 
meeting at this point the most likely date is April 17-18-19 at BNL.
There are some issues: a number of members have either resigned or have reached 
the term of their commitment; Question about BNL representative to MCOG, 
officially S. Aronson still is the BNL representative. 
 

• Item 7: New Issues (Alan)

We need to start thinking how to include in the next year budget new activities like
the World Design Study.
