I. General

1. The Science Mission of CBM

The goal of the CBM Collaboration is to built a dedicated heavy-iondetector to investigate the properties of highly compressed baryonic matter as it is produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the futureaccelerator facility in Darmstadt. The present design of the detector is described in the Letter of Intent.

The primary mission of CBM is to study key questions of QCD inthe region of moderate temperature and very high baryonic densities:

• confinement • chiral symmetry restoration • nuclear equation of state

2. Membership of the Collaboration

• Institutions

• Members

7. Plenary Meetings

The full collaboration has 3-4 days meetings (CBM meetings) at least 2 timesa year. The general forum, the CBM Plenary Meetings, assembles at these occasions. Plenary Meetings are open to all Members of the Collaboration.

All major issues concerning the physics aims of CBM, the design of CBM detectors and other important matters are presented to the Plenary Meetingsprior any decision in the Collaboration Board.

I. General

8. Milestones

On the way to a full functioning Colaboration, te following steps are foreseen:

• Letter of Intent

• Memorndum of Unerstanding

• Technical Design Report

• Physics Performance Report

• Memorandum of Understanding for Maintenance and Operation

II. Collaboration Board

1. Role

The Colaboration Board (CB), is the policy and decision making body of the CBM Collaboration

2. Membership

One representative of each Member Institution

Each Institution has one vote

3. Chairperson and Deputy

4. Meetings

5. Decision Procedures

Decisions require 2/3 majority of the Institutions represented during the vote.

III. Management Structures

1. Management Board

• Role

The CBM Management Board (MB) supervises the progress of the experiment, along the lines defined by the CB and prepares decisions for and makes recomandations to the CB

• Membership

The CB Chairperson in consultation with the Collaboration and Spokesperson nominates members of the MB which are then elected by the CB

Ex officio Members of the MB are the Spokesperson and Deputy, the Coordinators, the CB Chairperson and Deputy

2. Technical Board

3. Resources Board

4. Physics Board

IV. Management Functions

1. General Rules

• All mandates and appointments are valid for a limited period of time as defined by the CB

2. Spokesperson and Deputy

The Spokesperson is responsible to the CB for the execution of the CBM project

He/She takes all necessary decisions in close consultation with MB and CB

He/She represents the CBM Collaboration to the Darmstadt Future Facility Committee, to its

management and to the outside world

3. Coordinators

• Technical Coordinator

• Engineering & Integration Coordinator

• Physics Coordinator

• Resources Coordinator

• Other Coordinators

May be nominated by the Spokesperson such as Test Beam Coordinator
