[Olympus] PRC, OLYMPUS web site, Physics Today, and collaboration meeting

[Belostotski, Stanislav]

Dear Douglas,
Let me first to congratulate you with so successful presentation of the 
OLYMPUS results at DESY PRC.
  Given the TPE is certainly may affect the precise measurements at 
small Q**2  may I  ask you which question on r_p (proton radius) is in 
the comment section, as mentioned in your mail?
My second issue   is  related to the published data.I mean the 12 deg. 
telescope point.
Why is the systematic error bar  so large in this point? Seems to be 
larger than those in other (BLAST spectrometer) points.
With best regards StanB

She started from the proposal and listed the progress as well as the problems along the way.  I think her assessment was fair and very supportive.  She congratulated us on several innovative solutions to the problems that arose and also for the quality of the final result that she considered as a definitive measurement in this momentum transfer region in spite of the small effect.  She pointed out that theory predictions at the time of the proposal lead us to expect a larger effect that unfortunately was not seen.  She also pointed to the tight time constraints that we had to deal with.  She made recommendations to DESY about future projects like this to encourage broader collaboration and readiness reviews.

However, the Wiki is private so the public face of OLYMPUS is hasn’t been updated since around 2012.  This is my fault since it is hosted at MIT and I am the main person responsible for these web pages.

I have put together a few pictures that might be used in the May article.  If anyone has good photos of their particular detector that might be included please send them to me.
