A Step Toward the TDR A Step Toward the TDR

♦ Reminder: Technical Proposal (TP) is an intermediate milestone toward the TDR – principal focus is TDR

• Plan structure of TDR fjrst, TP follows same structure
• TP to have nearly identical section headings as TDR, but

in compressed format (approx. fjve times shorter)

• More information here

♦ Overall TDR Editors:

• Tim Bolton
• Sam Zeller

♦ First draft of TP submitted to Sam and Tim

• Today: brief overview of remainder items

TP High-Level Overview TP High-Level Overview

♦ Most major material is there ♦ Missing:

• QC section
• Calibration

subsection in integration section

• WBS, cost and

schedule subsections in

• rganization

section

♦ In total, 37 pages

• Goal: 30-40

Points for Discussion (1) Points for Discussion (1)

♦ Need to polish up references/citations in next round

• Easier to reference other chapters in TP moving forward
• Should not cite Doc DB, only external documents –

interface/requirements documents? Need to address

• That being said, TP should be “self-contained” …

♦ What is our QC strategy? MSU dewars? Large- scale testing at one or more sites? Both? Need to address (in TP and in general) ♦ Calibration discussion in TP requires interfacing with Calibration Task Force

• Mike M. will serve as interface between groups
• May leave discussion for separate TP chapter

Points for Discussion (2) Points for Discussion (2)

♦ Tim/Sam mentioned that we should not focus on WBS or in-depth details about cost/schedule

• Instead, should have high-level discussion of “goal posts

and decision points” – a very rough timeline

• Currently missing in TP

, need to address this, and should include timeline for deciding between baseline and alternative option

♦ Initial text looks good, but one thing pointed out by Sam and Tim was the need to have “good introductions” for a non-expert audience

• Tried to address in system overview
• Should also address in each section/subsection – pivot to

clear, non-technical explanations when possible

♦ Ensure consistency throughout chapter

Moving Forward Moving Forward

♦ First draft of TP submitted, and looks good so far

• Still some missing sections – will address in next round
• Needs some additional discussion in consortium, at least

for QC strategy

♦ Next goal post: second draft of TP due Friday, March 16th ♦ Please send comments/suggestions about TP rough draft by EOB of Friday, March 9th

• Provides time for Mike to make updates to draft
• Sam and Tim will also be looking at draft concurrently
• As far as I know, no external reviewers involved until

after second version of TP draft is in
