Discussion regarding the physics and detector design for the Forward Physics Facility at the LHC.
BNL scientific support has started with new postdoc.
Need to understand how to argue for DOE scientific support at other institutes.
Preliminary engineering discussions have started
-- Focus of engineering discussions is on conceptual design of FLARE, and integration into FPF
including the FASER2 magnet.
There will be meetings soon to plan for a conceptual design report.
Timescale for CDR ~ Summer of 2023.
Dedicated technical group has been meeting.
