Objective
To define the scope, deliverables, and milestones for the science beam combiner downselect work package. To list the participants in the activity and their roles.

Scope
This document briefly summarises the scope of the MROI science beam combiner downselect work package as re-defined in June/July 2006.

1 Introduction and Background
The "science combiner downselect work package" is a continuation of part of the beam combiner studies began by Cambridge and NMT in December 2005. The background to and scope of the previous beam combiner studies are outlined in INT407-VEN-0002. The downselect activity will henceforth be managed as a pseudo (unpaid) contract with the Cavendish Laboratory, with some work being "sub-contracted" to NMT. JSY will act as the point-of-contact for communications with the MROI project manager and IDT related to this work package. There will be regular "Work Package" meetings (generally by teleconference), along the lines of the other Work Package Meetings being set up at NMT. The format of a work package meeting will generally conform to the scheme proposed by EB in document INT-401-COR-SM-2006-06-15. The only significant changes from the scope of the previous beam combiner studies are that:


Options for the fringe tracking beam combiner will not be investigated as part of this work package. Studies of possible concepts for a commissioning instrument are no longer part of this work package.

The PNN (Pupil plane Nearest-Neighbour) scheme has been adopted as the baseline combiner concept for the Fringe Tracker, which is now managed as an independent work package.

2 Scope of Work Package
The purpose of the activity is thus to select one of the near-IR science combiner concepts P4S, P8, I4S, I6 to be carried forward. The concepts are described in Baron et al., Proc. SPIE 6268, Paper 64. Due to the level of detail needed to make an informed choice, a side-effect is that a preliminary design for the downselected combiner will also be a work package product. The work package ends once the downselect has been made. The end date for the activity is expected to be in early November 2006. Milestones for the work package are listed in Sec. 4.

Deliverables
Deliverable Date

The following deliverables will be provided to NMT as products of the work package: Final Report comparing preliminary designs for each concept, 6 November 2006 with recommended choice Preliminary design drawings and specifications for NMT's chosen concept. Includes switchyard
27 November 2006

A number of the deliverables from the previous beam combiner studies have already been produced ­ these are listed in Sec. 4.

3 Roles and responsibilities
The participants in the work package and their expected roles are given in the following table (in alphabetical order):

4 Milestones
Milestones with associated deliverables are shown in bold type. Please note that there are no formal deliverables to NMT associated with the other milestones. Internal (to the work package) reports will be produced (and read by the NMT staff on the work package team), but these will not contain sufficient background to be suitable for review by the IDT.
