MOU’s

•Template

•Hardware/Software

•Theoretical

•Contributions to Collaboration affairs

•On current R&D and Long Term Commitments

•Hall-D membership requires an approved MOU

3

•CMU, Ohio, IU and UofR have posted sample MOU’s

•Not all sections are applicable to all institutions and/or groups

•Emphasis on commitments and deliverables

•GlueX not necessarily the sole research effort but clearly the main effort of group

Templates

4

•R&D and post-R&D commitments

•Manpower with realistic fractions of research time dedicated to GlueX

•Timelines to completion of tasks assuming funding is available

Hardware/Software

5

•It’s difficult to put theoretical deliverables into the same mold as hardware/software

•Research (e.g. publications, students, workshops) in the physics of confinement, exotic hybrids and related topics that are of direct interest to GlueX

•Research effort that is sustained and based on GlueX physics

•Contributions to PWA related input is of particular value and importance

Theoretical

6

•Active participation in meetings, conference calls and workshops

•Presentations to conferences and public domain

•Participation in respective working groups

•Election to CB and other voting bodies within the Hall-D Collaboration

•General good citizenship within Hall-D

Contributions to The Collaboration

7

•R&D phase is approaching the end for many tasks

•We need to identify remaining R&D and the time frames for their completion

•Assumption of commitments with time lines for completion of Hall-D to data taking

•Important input into the Collaboration’s input to the Lehman Review process

•Will help us identify tasks that need new manpower in GlueX

R&D and Post-R&D

8

•Membership in Hall-D means firm commitments secured by MOU’s

•MOU’s are two way commitments of two parties supporting each other between an institution and Hall-D/GlueX

•Individual MOU’s are the first step toward a contract with JLab/DOE

•Will constitute the building blocks of the final Hall-D/GlueX MOU with JLab/DOE

MOU = Membership

9

•With CD-0 approved, there’s no excuse for uncommitted manpower within groups already in Hall-D

•Group leaders should be factual in their manpower lists so we all have a real basis of effective manpower

•MOU’s with well defined commitments and expectations constitute our own basis for progression to the next phases of Hall-D/GlueX

•It’s critically important to identify tasks for new member groups
