Financial Plan 2020 for LPNHE-neutrino group ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DISCLAIMER: estimates for the scientific trips are based on a rather optimistic scenario proposed by Laurent Vacavant at the end of April: "Pour guider les estimations sur ce qui pourra être accompli, le scénario à considérer est le suivant: - présentiel dans les labos IN2P3: 15% à partir du 11 mai, jusqu'à environ 30% à l'été, augmentation progressive à partir de septembre - missions en France: reprise très partielle à partir du 11 mai - missions CERN et espace Schengen: après l'été, et limitées - missions hors-Schengen: Chine/Japon peut-être à l'automne, États-Unis en 2021" and are made under the assumption that the prices of plane tickets come back to a reasonable level by September (Boris, May,29) First update (July,21) [WE SHOULD TRY TO UPDATE THIS PLAN ASSUMING THERE WILL BE NO TRIPS TO JAPAN AND MAKING A LIST OF EQUIPMENT WE WOULD LIKE TO BUY INSTEAD] Expected expenses on equipment till the end of 2020: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - LV cables (e.g. purchased via CERN?): < 1000 euros; - DAQ PC for the DESY test-beam, then to be shipped to J-PARC to replace the existing TPC workstation (~1000 euros); [DONE] - laptop to be used for the FEC test-bench (in Europe and at J-PARC?) ~1500 euros; [DONE] - missing components for the FEC production (~1000 euros); [DONE] - full FEC production (12 pre-serie + 72 serie): ~32k euros [ORDERED FOR PRE-SERIE ~10k] - already purchased at CERN (to be paid later this year): White Rabbit switch (~2500 euros) [DONE] - laptop for Lucile (~2.5k); - laptop for Vlada (~2.5k); - laptop for Sergey (~2.5k); - production of 64 cooling plates by external company (~20k) Expected scientific trips till the end of 2020: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Boris) - 3-4 trips to CERN (~1500 euros in total); - participation in the DESY test-beam? (~1000 euros); - maybe 1 trip to Japan? (~2000 euros); - a few trips within France (FEC production company, etc) (~ 500 euros); (Mathieu) - DESY test beam (7 days) based on last year: 500€ ticket + 7 days (~100€? I don’t recall exactly…) = 1200 € - CERN Upgrade meeting: 200€ + 3 jours (400€) = 600€ - maybe 1 trip to Japan? (~2000 euros); (Stefano) - a trip to Vietnam for the IEEE real time conference where we/I have an oral contribution. It is scheduled at end of October. For that I’m expecting a lab contribution to pay the trip (or part of it): (~2000 euros) - maybe a one week trip to Japan to work on the time distribution (~2000 euros) - maybe a one week trip to Japan for the HK general meeting (~2000 euros) - a two days trip to CERN for the WP4 meeting. This could be a very cheap trip as usual. (~300 euros) - a workshop in Italy (~300 euros) - trip to Rome to work on White Rabbit (~1000 euros); (Viet as suggested by Boris) - CERN Upgrade meeting (~500 euros) - participation in the DESY test-beam? (~1000 euros); - maybe 1 trip to Japan? (~2000 euros); - participation in the neutrino conference (and school) in Vietnam? (~2000 euros); (Lucile as suggested by Mathieu) - CERN Upgrade meeting (~500 euros) - participation in the DESY test-beam? (~1000 euros); - maybe 1 trip to Japan? (~2000 euros); (Adrien) - CERN Upgrade meeting (~500 euros); - participation in the DESY test-beam? (~1000 euros); - maybe 1 trip to Japan? (~2000 euros); - NuPhys conference in London in December? (~1000 euros); (Claudio) - 2 trips to CERN (~1000 euros); - participation in the DESY test-beam? (~1000 euros); - maybe 1 trip to Japan? (~2000 euros); (Jean-Marc as suggested by Boris) - a few trips within France (FEC production company, etc) (~ 500 euros); (Diego as suggested by Boris) - participation in the DESY test-beam? (~1000 euros); (Marco) - participation in the DESY test-beam? (~1000 euros); (Jacques as suggested by Boris) - 3-4 trips to CERN (~1500 euros in total); - participation in the DESY test-beam? (~1000 euros); (Sergey) - participation in the DESY test-beam? (~1000 euros); Current summary (as of May,29): - equipment ~39k euros; - trips ~38k euros (Discussed with Laurent Vacavant a possibility to use money which we will not be able to spend for scientific trips in order to buy some equipment for HK R&D, e.g. GNSS antena, etc. Also mentioned a possibility to pay our NA61/SHINE 2021 common fund contribution in advance. Got no objections. Decision to be taken by the mid October)
