titleAnalysis Coordinator (0.5 FTE)

The Analysis Coordinator (AC) will help to lead and organize the physics analysis effort of the collaboration.  This person will be responsible for making the analysis tools available to the collaboration.  They will also hold regular (biweekly) analysis meetings which will initially focus on keeping track of the information gained from E906 and how to implement improvements and optimize the effort to reduce systematic uncertainty.  After E1039 data becomes available the focus will shift to optimization of reconstruction and analysis and producing results of the Sivers Function.  The Chair, PC and the AC will form physics working groups.  The AC will track analysis efforts, and make regular reports to the Collaboration on the over all analysis effort from the various working groups.  The AC ensures that the members of each working group and persons perusing publication follow the established protocol for the review, approval, and submission of all manuscripts for publication.  The AC will also maintain a web page archiving the analysis software packages, analysis notes, and analysis progress as well as any technical and collaboration publications.  The AC also serves as the Working Group Leader for the Sea Quark Sivers Function. The AC is also responsible for obtaining/maintaining resources for analysis, stable software (approved by Collaboration) and reconstruction.

 

The Analysis Coordinator assigns and manages a focused effort on the aspects of analysis:
  • Simulations:
  • Systematics:
  • Dilution Factor:
  • Tracking/Reconstruction:
  • Off-line Computing:
  • Determining Alignment:
  • Off-line t0:
  • time-to-distant:
  • Data Management:

titleTalk Coordinator (0.5 FTE)

The Talk Coordinator (TC) is responsible for overseeing the equitable distribution of speaking opportunities to Members of the Collaboration.  The TC will look forward to future conferences and solicit invited speaker slots from conference organizers. Members who directly receive invitations from conference coordinators should coordinate their response with the TC.  It is the TCs responsibility to keep the collaboration aware of this and to encourage institutions to send junior researchers (students and postdocs).  The TC should communicate with collaboration members and labs and other funding opportunities to students with limited funding get the resources needed to give talks at upcoming events.  All people interested in giving a talk or poster using the analysis or any results from E1039 at a conference should get approval from the TC before doing so.  The TC will establish protocols for the review and approval of conference abstracts, presentations, and proceedings.  A web page archiving all collaboration presentations will be maintained by the TC.  The TC will also provide a meeting or phone meeting for practice talks upon request to get feed back from collaboration members.

When an analysis has reached an advanced stage and it is desired to make a presentation of preliminary results at a conference, the primary analyzers, in coordination with the Chair, Talks Coordinator, Analysis Coordinator and Physics Coordinator will form an open meeting to assess the quality and completeness. If it passes this initial review a presentation to the Collaboration will be given asking for "Preliminary Results" status for a Graph or Graphs of the results. A Graph of Preliminary Results should be as self-contained as possible, since it will likely appear in public archives of presentations and proceedings, and might be used by others outside the Collaboration. All such Graphs must contain the stamp "SpinQuest Preliminary" after approval. The Collaboration will only approve a single Preliminary Result for any particular physics observable; it is expected that a Final Result will appear in a near-term publication.  The Chair will coordinate the Collaboration evaluation in a Collaboration meeting. The Collaboration may vote to approve or reject with suggestions of improvement.
