RDCC Survey Test

Dear LBNE Collaborator,

This is R&D Coordination Committee (RDCC) Survey. The survey is intended to gather information from collaboration on existing and planned R&D activities. We will compile survey results to identify, categorize, prioritize and document the R&D needs of LBNE for the beam, near, and far detectors. The goal is to maintain an R&D plan that will be carried out either within LBNE or in separately proposed efforts. With collected and compiled R&D info and upon request from the spokespersons, the RDCC will review specific programs or proposals for relevance to LBNE R&D priorities and prepare a report. Therefore, the results of the survey will assist the collaboration in planning resources for the future.

Note: This survey is restricted to R&D relevant to LBNE hardware and/or engineering studies. Software, simulations, and analyses that support the hardware development should be included. However, pure simulation/software effort in support of LBNE such as analysis framework or databases will be captured by the software/computing group. Project funded work is also excluded from this survey.
