Dear MACRO Collaborators,
Mario Spinetti and I (Jim Stone) have been charged with assembling
a technical paper of the completed MACRO detector to be used as a
reference for future MACRO physics publications. Below you will
find our first pass for a proposed outline. We invite everyone
to review it and make comments for improvements and additions or
deletions. We have tentatively assigned the experts as we know
them for writing the various sections. If your name appears,
please confirm to me and Mario that you accept the responsibility.
If you cannot do the work, please suggest an alternate person.
We wish to proceed with this paper as soon as possible, hence,
we ask that all section writers prepare the first draft of their
sections by the time of the Collaboration meeting at Gran Sasso.
We will have a parallel meeting at GS to discuss and refine the
outline and contents of the various sections.
Best Regards, JIM and MARIO
