RE: decadal plan

Dear Flemming
 
It would seem to me that in a decadal plan the scope beyond the 3 year
period should be emphasized a bit more. 
Since I suspect that such documents may have a significant impact on the
long term planning by DOE on BNL I would emphasize and develop somewhat
the perspective of an enhanced and dedicated  forward physics program.
The focus could be on high pt suppression in all its manisfestations
(i.e. 
Jet quenching and perhaps gluon condensation). I could imagine that a
statement about the time scale for establishing a new proposal would be
welcomed by the prospective readers. In short, I would suggest a little
more punch in a 10 year document.
For natural reasons, I refrain from more concrete suggestions to shape
the document, considering our own (Scandinavian) plans and commitments
to LHC/ALICE which make us an unlikely partner in a new long term
venture – unless the LHC lets us down!
Cheers
JJ

Subject: decadal plan
 
Dear Colleague,
 
as you may recall we have been asked to submit a BRAHMS 'decadal' plan
to RHIC management. Since the recent submitted Beam Use proposal
essentially contains all the information that would be needed for the 10
year plan it has been agreed with T.kirk that we
(and Phobos too) could submit just a brief document. I have prepared
such a document with help from Michael and Steve. It is essentailly a
document condensed from the Beam Use Proposal omitting details on
luminosity, choices of periods etc.
I attach the (draft) document in this mailing, if you have comment
please send them to me asap-
I would like to post this by tomorrow for T.kirk and the PAC to access
together with the
beam use proposal.
 
 
regards
    Flemming
