June 19, 2003 Dear Collaborators, Today at BNL we discussed within the BNL group, Steve, Ian and Michael the status of committees as brought up at the constitutional meeting at Krakow. Ian provided me with a draft version of the content below. At the recent collaboration meeting in Krakow, we discussed several analysis and publications. Five of these are sufficiently advanced, that paper committees have been formed during the institutional meeting. The committee serves several purposes, one to ensure that the analysis gets completed, presented and agreed upon by the collaboration, while at the same time preparing a completed draft. The paper committee responsibility is an important one, and it is expected the members are prepared to contribute actively in a timely fashion. We really want the committee to work well so that these analysis can be completed and submitted during summer and fall. Most committees have a composition such to have both people closely connected to analysis and more senior people with the overview. The membership is certainly not closed to the only the people listed, and can be expanded. It is envisioned the committees have regular phone conferences to ensure good communication. It was decided in Krakow that the high Pt story was important an critical to move ahead, and recent events have shown that we probably underestimated its importance. The committee consisted of: Claus Ekman, Hans Bøggild, Zhang Bao Yin, and Kris Hagel. In the time since the meeting, a preliminary draft has been prepared, and will be circulated to the collaboration shortly, but the paper committee should still feel an extra responsibility to insure this paper comes to publishable quality in the next week. The following are also important, but not quite as urgent. The committee chair is responsible for setting up times for conference calls, organizing the effort, and whipping the others. Stopping: Peter Christiansen, Ian Bearden, JH Lee, Zbig Majka. IB is the chair of this committee K/pi: Djamel Ouerdane, Michael Murray, Dieter Rohrich, Jens Ivar Jordre. Dieter is the chair. Centrality dependence at y=0: JHLee, EJ Kim, IB: JH is chair (This needs additional members) p+p: Michael Murray, Joe Natowitz, Bjørn Samset, Kris Hagel. MJM is the chair In addition to these five reasonably mature analyses, there was a positive disposition toward producing a longer paper on Slopes and flow as a function of rapidity. So far, the only names of people interested in this are IB and Ramiro Debbe. There are obviously others who will contribute to the analysis. Finally, we discussed the deuteron and anti-deuteron results from Marco Germinario. The feeling was that a bit more work needs to be done before a committee is formed. This work will be done in Copenhagen, and the collaboration will be kept informed of progress as it occurs.
