Attendance: Shaul, Amy, Jeff, Rafael, Al, Clem, Lloyd Notes by Amy

Schedule:

• What other milestones need to be included in the schedule
• Review timelines for TeamX sessions and decision point about Imager-only vs. Imager+Spectrometer.
• What questions need to be investigated/answered on the way to this decision

Update from Raphael:

Shaul suggests that Brendan (Systematics Czar) starts thinking about this and making a plan for what to do. How to introduce systematics in to pipeline. Comment: since we are low budget, good to start with existing stuff, not duplicate effort Comment (Clem): S4 plan at the moment is about setting requirements on what systematics need to be, which is different from saying what instrument will deliver. Comments: For a number of systematics, hard to prove design will meet requirement. Shaul: first thing to look at for Probe is requirements Comments: Remember that the audience of this paper isn’t necessarily going to be interested in a highly detailed analysis of many systematics Comment: What if systematics analysis impacts our decision on imager-only or imager+spectrometer? Comment (Al): systematics for spectrometer are very different than those for an imager

Action Items:

1. Raphael will organize a group of people who will work on a particular target for r
2. Lloyd will coordinate the data challenge; Shaul to work on band and noise definitions
3. Julian will set up a probe project space at NERSC.
4. Al will organize a group that will assess the motivation for a super-pixie or develop the case for compspec (complementary spectrometer)
