Dear Sasha,

let me make below some remarks.
I'm sure Jim will make much more and much more substantial.

cheers elke


   Hi Jim,
   
   I hope that your trip to the BNL went smoothly and you managed to recuperate
   a bit from the moving disaster...
   
   Before you start forgetting about the GlueX, let me ask
   you a few quick questions.
   
   We had a meeting with Ashot and Liping today; they consider
   seriously joining the gluex collaboration and taking some responsibilities,
   in particular, for the pair spectrometer.


   A couple of questions arose regarding the pair spectrometer magnet:
     - who should we contact with at BNL regarding a property
     transfere (we will need to prepare corresponding documents)?

     - it would probably make sense to test this magnet at BNL
     (as you have pointed out) to be sure that it has
      no 'serious' damages like coil shorts, water leak...
      What do you think about this ?

this is a difficult point. None of you is a user at BNL. Who do you have 
in mind doing this. If the BNL people should do it, JLab should be 
prepared to pay for it. If JLab people would do it they have to go through 
all the BNL training and we still need BNL manpower. I think somebody 
has to talk to Phil Pile to get a cost estimate for this and find out his 
team has time because there will be a big shutdown coming up for BNL and 
there is the construction of the NSLS-II going on.
I'm sure Jim can do it, if he is to busy, I can do it, I'm in meetings 
with Phil at least twice a week.

   Eugene mentioned that it would (probably) be possible to use some money,
   allocated for the ps in 2011, earlier to check/ship the ps magnet to the
   jlab. We also need to find a storage for the magnet at jlab.
   
so what time scale are you talking about and how much money is there. I 
know I could look myself in P3e, but .......

   I hope to see you soon during the tagger magnet review.
   
   Cheers,
          Sascha
