Action items from the discussion

March 16-18 NF frontier workshop. Jonathan and MVD will request time for talks from the conveners.

-- CERN documentation has two components (very approximate summary from Albert De Roeck)

-- Nov. 2022 appears to be quite aggressive, however some organizational effort needs to start now.

-- Any support needed from the Neutrino Platform requires a document to be presented to the SPSC.

-- A preCDr could be called a letter of intent. This would need to be presented to the LHCC.

-- CERN FPF hall space requirements

-- an informal technical team needs to be assembled to evaluate the space requirements.

-- M. Bishai will provide details of MicroBoone cryostat dimensions and insulation.

-- Need to get similar detail for ICARUS.

-- Dmitri: D0 cryostat was 10 cm thick. This was enough with vacuum insulation.

--- with a 10 cm insulation we can obtain a TPC active dimension of ~ 3 m x 3 m x 9 m . Providing a 1 meter

buffer around the inner fiducial volume of 1 x 1 meter.

-- Need an engineering evaluation of such a device can be installed and tested underground.

-- BNL team will get together week of Feb 21 to discuss space charge.

-- If the detector has to be enlarged it will require multiple gaps to deal with space charge if we want to

maintain microboone or ICARUS level space charge distortion.

-- Dedicated communication/meeting needed to get a list of simulation studies with focus on

-- Kinematics of neutrino interactions

-- Muon detection

-- event containment.
