History
- Creation of the Background Remediation Group :19/11/98
- Goals:
Determine the maximum permanent background level that allows BABAR to operate and performs physics. Make sure that BABAR can provide enough information to monitor the background and protect its subsystems.
- The people
- Steering committee
: Pat Burchat, Andy Lankford, Terry Geld, Tom Himel, Bob Jacobsen, Iannis Karyotakis, Witold Kozanecki, Adrian McKemey, Tom Mattison, Gregory Dubois-Felsmann
- First meeting : Dec 10. Minutes
- Meeting January 6, 8.30 am. Minutes
- Meeting January 19, 2 pm Minutes
- Meeting March 30, 10 am Minutes
- Detector contacts :
- ‘Hardware-oriented’ C. Hast, P. Burchat (SVT) , A. Roodman (DCH) , A. McKemey (EMC), B. Wilson (DRC), H. Band (IFR), T. Liu (Trigger)

The meetings and information channels
- The Background Remediation Hypernews Forum
- During the run, some mcc information day by day
- Background remediation weekly meetings
will take place by video/phone on Fridays at 9.30 am (Pacific time). At SLAC, the venue will be the Pom/Flora video conference room. To Join by phone, call (1)973 321-2000, pass code 14198#
- The video sites are presently : SLAC-2, LBNL, UCSD, CSU, LAL Orsay, Saclay
Special Topics
The January workshop (13-15 January 1999)
The talks are available as hyperlinks in the detailed schedule - List of Open issues for the workshop
- Global schedule
- Detailed schedule
- Executive summary
- BABAR as a background detector
- With exception of the PIN diodes system, all other present background dedicated detectors will be replaced by BABAR. Each BABAR subdetector will have to provide a background monitor signal and a protection signal, to prevent radiation damage. The requirements for these two types of signals are to be found here.
