NeuLAND - FAIR

13. Organization and Distribution of
Responsibilities
The detector design was developed from a subgroup of the R 3 B collaboration, called
the NeuLAND Working Group. The members, as of today, are listed in appendix A.
The NeuLAND Working Group, convened currently by Konstanze Boretzky, GSI, and
her deputy, Ushasi Datta Pramanik, SINP, will build the NeuLAND detector. A close
contact to the R 3 B Technical Coordinator and the Project Coordinator enables a smooth
embedding of the NeuLAND detector into the R 3 B’s full setup.
The responsibilities for the different subtasks are closely related to their associated funding
profile, as laid out in chapter 11. In table 13, we summarize the required tasks for
the construction phase of NeuLAND and assign the institutes with key responsibilities.
More details on the tasks are found in the numerated list below.

1. NeuLAND Submodules and Double-Planes
This task comprises first, the purchase of scintillator bars, photomultipliers and
needed peripherals like voltage supplies and read-out channels, second, the assembly
of NeuLAND submodules and its acceptance tests, third, the arrangement of
NeuLAND submodules into double-planes. The work load is shared amongst the
partners according to the financial contributions. Since, for practical reasons, the
NeuLAND submodules will be built on-site at GSI/FAIR, the external partners
will send personnel to GSI/FAIR for the assembly and testing procedure.
