[Olympus] OLYMPUS Collaboration Meetings

[Douglas K Hasell]

Hi Stan,

	Thanks for your E-mail and congratulations to Jan and the graduate students.

	Regarding the author list I still favour recognising their contribution by listing them first in the paper.  The corresponding author is really intended as the contact person for the editors and reviewers of the letter.  Listing 7 people as contact would just be confusing.  Anyway, as you say this should be discussed byt the collaboration.

	Just in case it wasn’t obvious, Stan was able to check the author list by viewing the slides for my introductory remarks for Monday, September 28 that I posted to the Wiki yesterday.

                                                    Cheers,
                                                            Douglas

> As for author list, I suggest to indicate the people whose efforts  to the data analysis  were  most essential  as CONTACT PERSONS. i find this would be  a better and more direct recognition of those who were   active in the publication. Besides, this would allow us to keep a standard alphabetical order of names in the author list as routinely accepted in most of collaborations. This, however, is an issue to discuss among the OLYMPUS collaboration.

>> 	This is a reminder that the next “monthly� OLYMPUS collaboration meeting will be 9 days from today on Monday, September 28, 2015 at 10:00 EST (16:00 CET).  The meeting will be broadcast via the usual SeeVogh meeting link.
>> 
>> 	This will be an important meeting.  There will be several presentations on the current analyses.  This includes 12 degree luminosity, SYMB luminosity, tracking and Monte Carlo related to a new release of tracked files, and various analyses of the new data and MC to determine the e+p / e-p cross section ratio.  These presentations are all leading up to the public presentations at the PRC (22/10/2015), DNP (28-31/10/2015), and EINN (1-7/11/2015).
>> 
>> 	These results are not the “final� OLYMPUS results but rather the “first� good results from OLYMPUS.  Hopefully, these results are good enough to show as “preliminary" results at the coming meetings.
>> 
>> 	We do not expect approval of these results on Monday, 28/9/2015 but show the current status so everyone has a chance to see the quality of the data and analyses, to ask questions, and to make suggestions and comments.
>> 
>> 	To get approval from the collaboration to show the results as preliminary at the meetings listed above, we will have meetings on:
>> 
>>      Monday   5/10/2015,
>> N.B. Tuesday 13/10/2015 (Monday is a holiday in US and Canada),
>>      Monday  19/10/2015 (request approval to show in PRC closed session), and
>>      Monday  26/10/2015 (final approval to release as preliminary result).
>> 
>> 	These weekly meetings will show improvements to the analyses, present cross-checks and studies of the systematics, etc. and give everyone more opportunities for review and comment.  Of course, people should not wait until the weekly meetings to send questions or make suggestions via E-mail.
>> 
>> 	NOTE:  The first public release of our preliminary results is intended to be made by Jan at the DNP meeting in Santa Fe at the end of October.  Therefore, even though we will be showing the results in the meetings and on the web pages, the results MUST NOT be shown outside the collaboration until they are approved by the collaboration and after Jan’s talk.
>> 
>> 	The PRC open session presentation will be made by Lauren Ice.  The preliminary result will not be presented during the the open session as we do not feel that is a suitable venue for releasing the first results.  There will be a rehearsal of Lauren’s presentation for the open session during the meeting on Monday 19/10/2015.  If the collaboration agrees Uwe and I may show the results in the closed session but with the understanding that the slides are not public.
>> 
>> 	Please let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any comments on the above.
