Design Review of  SBND Cosmic Ray Tagger
    March 14, 2016

Charge

The Committee is to conduct a design review of the cosmic ray tagger to assess the status and adequacy of the project.  This review is to help SBND decide whether we are ready to start production of the detector modules and readout electronics.

In particular, the review team is asked to address the following questions:

• Are the technical requirements and specifications adequately defined?  Do the key design parameter follow from them?    
• Are interface issues of the cosmic ray tagger to cryostat and building identified and adequately addressed?
  
• Are engineering analyses documentations sufficient enough to support the fabrication and installation of the system?
• Are the front-end electronic design integrated to the SBND DAQ system?  Are key DAQ issues such as clock synchronization, trigger and data transmission addressed and agreement reached with the DAQ group?
• Can the designs be constructed and installed on schedule?
  
• Have key risks captured and is there a plan for managing and mitigating these risks?
• Is the design presented sufficient enough to support the start of the scintillator module and readout productions?
  

The committee should present its findings, comments, and recommendations as well as answers to the above questions in a written report within 2 weeks of the actual review.
