Attendance: Amy, Shaul, Nick, Charles, Dave, Dan, Raphael
Notes by:
Coordination with S4 and rest of community about report:
There are three products: 1) Science white paper (SWP) for decadal panel; 2) report for PICO, due Dec; 3) S4 is writing project book
SH agreed with Lloyd: SWP should be formally independent from projects. Lloyd has started putting stuff into a wiki page only for SWP, 2 days ago.
Galactic science white paper? Dave: we are still in the process of determining what should be in the report. Shaul: there might be broader range of people who are interested in this; Dave: will talk to Laura to determine who to reach out to.
Charles: CMB-S4 is also preparing white paper for decal survey, there would be overlap; Shaul: CMB-S4 is preparing project papers, not SWP. They have a 'Science Section' in their project paper, but that will not be submitted as SWP.
Requirement vs current best estimate:
There is now fairly high confidence on the temperatures of mirrors and stop, so can finalize current best estimate (CBE) and requirements. CBE = 0.61 uK*arcmin; and Requirement = 0.86 uK*arcmin. Excel sheets and information on the wiki now updated.
Draft Report
Dan+Raphael agree we agreed to work on 2.1
Plan is for everyone to submit text within 3 weeks, Aug. 22. This gives Dan+Raphael + SH another week to write the introduction.
Should we stick to the STM or write broadly? Cover everything in the STM, and then add some more.
Shaul: how about flipping 2.4, 2.5 before 2.3?
Charles knows that he is responsible for 'Complementarity'. Shaul: should we contact Marcel Schmidtful?
Amy reviews JPL contributions.
Amy will get the machinery going in JPL to support Tim Pearson
