From:    skuja@umdhep.umd.edu
Subject: CMS HCAL meetings May 25/26


Dear Colleagues:

     We need to get together to discuss the '95 test beam, the '96 R & D
program, as well as HCAL  engineering and integration issues. I propose
the following one to two day meeting at Fermilab.


  Thursday, May 25   

  9:00           Status of '95 test beam work (Freeman, et al.)
  9:45           Measurement of Kharkov scintillator (Hagopian)
 10:00           Status pf photodetector R & D (Cushman)

 10:30 - 11:00   Discussion of '96 R & D 
                 Jim Virdee has proposed that we do a combined
                 HB and EB run in H2 at CERN in '96, including
                 our choice of photodetectors in the field. Jim Freeman
                 and I think this is a good idea. 

                 We also have to finish the engineering for a prototype
                 wedge.

 11:00 - 12:30   Indvidual Budget requests for 1996               
                      
 12:30 -  1:30   Lunch

  1:30 -  3:30   Resolution of '96 Budget (D. Green, J. Freeman, A.Skuja)

  3:30 -  5:00   HB/HF engineering (welding, track supports, installation,
                 cryostat, '95/'96 priorities) (I. Churin, L. Bartoszek, 
                 B. Wands, M. Murbach)

  5:00           AOB


  Friday, May 26

 10:00 - 12:30   Engineering integration - endcap, barrel, supports,
                 cabling, alignment, cryostat

                 ( I will invite the Wisconsin physicists/engineers 
                   and D. Eartley to attend as well)


     All HCAL/VFCAL Institution Reps should send a copy of their proposed
 budget with one line justifications to

      skuja@umdhep.umd.edu, dgreen@fnalv.fnal.gov, freeman@fnalv.fnal.gov

 prior to the meeting. I will distribute a copy of all requests to the
 HCAL/VFCAL group before we meet.

 Best wishes.

                                       Andris
