PHOBOS PROJECT IS IN GOOD SHAPE
- we did follow your recommendations to consider changing the electronics and using one arm as contingency
- electronics and DAQ have been redesigned
- with only one arm, we have a contingency of 21% of uncommitted costs
- we plan to use any unspent contingency towards completion of 2nd arm
PHOBOS WILL BE READY ON DAY-1 FOR PHYSICS
- everything will be in place except for a completed second arm
DURING COMMISSIONING PERIOD WE PLAN
- to have in place the trigger counters, DAQ, parts of multiplicity and vertex detectors, and parts of the TOF
- to commission all aspects of PHOBOS, study backgrounds and triggering, and obtain a preliminary measurement of dN/d
