[DUSELScience] DUSEL town meeting , Washington DC , November 2-4, 2007

[Hugh Montgomery]

Dear All,

 You chose to hold this coincident with the Fermilab PAC Meeting.
 We may still get a few people there but not so many I think.

 Mont.

>
> The NSF is sponsoring a Town Meeting in Washington DC to discuss and
> develop the next phases of the study of a Deep Underground Science
> and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL). It has asked the site independent
> scientific study group (S1) to organize the event.
>
> On the Friday afternoon November 2, we will have an  open meeting
> describing to interested federal officials and the press the
> scientific and education potential of DUSEL, and the upcoming
> site-specific technical design of the envisioned Homestake
> laboratory.We hope that a large number of scientists will be present
> to express their interest in the project.
>
> From Saturday morning  November 3  to Sunday November 4 early
> afternoon, we will organize a scientific workshop involving all
> underground disciplines (Physics, Astrophysics, Biology, Earth
> Scienecs and Engineering) to focus on the next phases of the project:
>         * Process to arrive at technical designs of the first suite
> of experiments to be included in
> the MREFC proposal (Solicitation 4).
>         * Needs in terms of  R&D before technical choices for major
> experiments can be made and to reduce technical and cost risks.
>         * Science opportunities at Homestake before the MREFC
> decision  and during construction.
>         * Coordination mechanisms with existing national and
> international underground laboratories/sites,
> funding agencies and other entities.
>         * Further technical input to the S3 design
>         * Organization of the community and input to the NSF process.
> This will be an opportunity for all interested scientists to develop
> further the community-specific needs that the DUSEL facility should
> support.
>
> Mark you calendar! Details are forthcoming.
