Projectl documents for the HFT upgrade project.
Documents related to the CD-0, CD-1 reviews and subsequent actions can be found (temporarely) here. Information on internal reviews, monthly reports are available in child pages. (Note the second Internal review is dummy- at end of list)
The HFT received CD-4 approval on September 25, 2014.
An OPA min-review was held on September 24 as a video/phone conference
The review took place at BNL on Feb 15. The talks are given below, including the commitee report
Management information for HFT.
There are several project specific mailing lists. Pertinent information on these can be found in this document
HFT management has roughly every 2-3 months face-to-face or phone conference meeting dealing with project status, and detailled sub-system reports.
The meeting content is usually placed on the STAR event drupal page. The list below includes the most recent, but not all historical links.

Documents that are refered to in the requirements document
One recommendation of the July OPA review was to conduct a mini-review in October, in particular to assess progress on SSD, but also to review progress on the few other recommendations.
The charge for the review was:
1. What is the status of the Silicon Strip Detector (SSD)? Is management making progress towards addressing the technical issues of the SSD, and mitigating corresponding cost and schedule impacts?
2. Have there been any significant changes or risks affecting cost, schedule, and scope since the prior DOE/SC review? If so, is appropriate management action being taken?
3. Is the project addressing appropriately the recommendation(s) from the prior DOE/SC review(s)?
The review included 3 talks
- Overview F.Videbæk
- SSD Status J.Thomas
- Cost and schedule S.Morgan
The closeout had in essence the following recommendations:
Submit BCR-4 to the NP Program Manager for review by November 1, 2012.
Following CD$ there has been a few follow-up reports. These reside on this page
The PXL group has created a report on the damage and repair plan for the PXL#2 detector. See word document
The project was also asked to update the transsition to ops document describing how to get to the optimum value.
This is attached below.
Quarterly meetings with DOE in FY15 to discuss progress
At the November 12 meeting DOE acccepted that the UPP has been met, congratulated the efforts, and declared no further meetings are
required.
