Minutes from target meeting held November 9 2012 in 892-2-009 These minutes are available also from: http://wwwcompass.cern.ch/compass/detector/target/Minutes/2012/ a) Planning for the target platform modifications, magnet tests and target technical run in 2013 were discussed. To make place for the hadron absorber the target platform needs to be shifted 220 cm upstream. The reverse movement from the Drell-Yan position to the present off-beam position needs to be done when switching between the different physics programs. It is preferable to do this movement without unmounting the dilution cryostat and magnet from the platform. The preliminary plan for the movement is in http://wwwcompass.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Drell_Yan/PTmovementTP b) Kaori: the NMR-rack will be moved to the control room except the Q-meter boxes and Yale-cards that need to stay close to the target. Shielding could be made from small concrete blocks under the platform. c) Jaakko: test CERN virtual machines for the target analysis programs. See http://wwwcompass.cern.ch/elog/target_polar/182
