DØ Luminosity Vertical Review

Charge to the review committee

The committee should conduct a vertical review of D0's plans for luminosity determination for physics analysis. The review should cover all components of the system: hardware, electronics, data acquisition, storage and processing of luminosity information, and tools for physicist access. A draft report will be available February 14th and a final report March 1st.

The review should attempt to answer the following questions:

• Does the system, as conceived, meet DØ's needs for physics analysis? Does it support all the kinds of analysis we will carry out?
• Is the system robust (does it allow us to recover from loss of luminosity data, from loss of tapes, streams etc.)
• Are the present resources adequate to deliver the system in a timely manner? Are the appropriate priorities set?

Members of the review committee:

Elizabeth Gallas, Marumi Kado, Greg Landsberg, Adam Lyon, Andrei Nomerotski, Paul Slattery, Mike Tuts and Harry Weerts (chair)
