* Richard has written a document ``GlueX Requirements for 12 GeV Electron Beam Properties&#39;' ''(gluex-doc-646)''.  This document summarizes the GlueX physics requirements for the 9 GeV photon beam, and derives from these the requirements for the 12 GeV electron beam.  The final section shows how these requirements can be phased in gradually within the context of the GlueX commissioning plan.
+
* <font color="darkred"><b><i>1/23/2008</i></b></font> - Richard will to update the document 646 to incorporate the two developments of the improved beam emittance parameters and halo simulation and send around a note to the beam working groupIt will be discussed at the tagged beam group meeting on January 31.
* Discussion of these requirements with the CASA group raised major concerns with two major points: emittance and halo. The former describes the r.m.s. size of the central intensity peak of the beam, while the halo describes the intensity at larger radius where it exceeds the gaussian fit.  The concern over emittance subsided in early 2007 when the nominal beam emittance figures went down by a factor ~2 after a computational error was found. The halo concern remains.
+
* <font color="darkred"><b><i>2/28/2008</i></b></font> - Elke will organize a meeting with the relevant people from CASA, accelerator division, and GlueX to review the electron beam requirements, with a goal of agreeing on a specification for the Hall D electron beam properties.
* In Spring 2007 the CASA group produced an improved halo model based on a ray-tracing simulation through the accelerator.  The GlueX tagger backgrounds have been resimulated using this halo model.  The results allow the GlueX halo specification to be relaxed by one order of magnitude, while still adhering to the basic criterion of less than 1% background in the tagging counters.

* Richard needs to update the document to incorporate the two developments described above.  <font color="red">End of January, 2008 is the target date for an updated version of gluex-doc-646.</font>
