Dear LHCb colleagues,
As you know, we had some meetings with the LHCC referees on Thursday and
Wednesday this week. All the promised answers to the remaining questions
were presented and the referees were satisfied. The current status and
milestones and future R&D plan till TDR for all the detector system were
presented by the convenors. Thursday afternoon, there was 45 minuets
presentation by the collaboration in the LHCC closed session. The main point
was to stress once again the unique physics potential of the LHCb
experiment. Transparencies can be seen on the web. (http://lhcb.cern.ch/html/progress/lhcc090798/index.htm).
This was followed by the report of the referees. Here is the outcome kindly
transmitted today by our referees. Following the discussion this morning,
the LHC Committee came to a conclusion to recommend the LHCb experiment for
approval, pending a positive CORE report on the detector cost. After the
Resource Review Board meeting on 14th of September, organized by the CERN
research director attended by the funding agency agencies, the CERN Research
Board will make a decision on approval on 17 September. I would like to
thank all the members of the LHCb collaboration whose effort brought us this
great success. My particular appreciation goes to the working group
convenors who played an essential role to produce a successful Technical
Proposal and to lead the discussions with the referees afterward: Tracking
W.Ruckstuhl RICH R.Forty and T.Ypsilantis Calorimeter
G.Carboni/B.D'Almagne/J.Lefrancois Muon B.Cox Trigger S.Conetti and
U.Straumann DAQ F.Harris Simulation A.Tsaregorodtsev Computing J.Harvey Now
we are entering the new phase of the experiment and I am looking forward to
see our progress toward the Technical Design Report. I wish you nice weekend
and good holiday and hope to see you in September for the LHCb week, 7-11.
Don't forget the LHCb barbecue on 10 September!
yours Tatsuya
