      Discussion of the FPF7 workshop

      After dicussion with PBC convener's a shape is emerging for the document to be submitted to them. 

      The document will focus on the civil engineering scientific requirements and experimental integration. Evidence has to be provided to show that sufficient integration work has been done to display feasibility of the enterprise. 

      Some additional comments will need discussion and resolution:

      (1)  be careful about increasing the size of the cavern, as even though this is a fairly small increase in cost, it could look like the cost is increasing and could continue to increase indefinitely. On this:

      • we need to justify why the size needs to be increase
      •  we give the impression that we have done a serious optimisation to come up with the current baseline. Baseline shoudl be interpreted as a reference design. 

       

      (2)  It Is important that what is presented in this document should be considered as a baseline and although it may change, we should really sell it as a frozen design for now, not as something that is evolving. 

      (3) Attempt to sell the FPF as a global experiment rather than several small experiments in the facility. This is a comment that has come up several times. Recently discussed by FASER2 people is the fact that, since FLArE and FASERnu2 results will use the FASER2 spectrometer we need to have some joint collaboration between those experiments. 

      ** How do we sell this to the US agencies who are following P5 who assigned  FPF experiments to ASTAE ? 

      ** How can we sell this to CERN as a single experiment, but to the US as separate small experiments ? 

      ** How does this interact with the ECN+SHIP decision ?
