SHMS-HMS User's Group

General Information

Following on from the suggestion of a more formal organisation of those groups involved in the design and construction of the SHMS by the Hall C Detector Design and Safety Review, a committee was charged with this task at the 2008 Hall C summer workshop. This committee felt that a relatively open organisation would facilitate communication and collaboration within the Hall C user community. Currently it is envisaged that a SHMS-HMS User Group would exist in parallel with the Hall C steering committee; it will be up to the users to decide if the SHMS-HMS Users Group becomes the single formal Hall C users organisation at a later date.

User Board

The SHMS-HMS User Group was formally started at the 2009 Hall C summer workshop when the initial user board was appointed by the Hall C leader. Members were appointed with staggered terms. As the terms of the initial board expire, elections are held by the user group to replace board members. The second elections were held in September 2011, replacing two of the initially appointed members.

The current user board is:
