=====Meeting Minutes April 13, 2012===== ===Present=== Mike, Rachel, Bec, Dan, Suwat, Bill, Zibi, Jack ====Zack: Proposed EOS Experiment==== * Collaboration: MoNA / Sherry Yennello's group / HiRA * use reaction similar to typical MoNA kinematics, maybe expand the EOS program later * Purpose: examine sensitivity of Y(n/n) to L of symmetry energy * 30/40 S + 9Be * Look at Y(n/n) in PLF region, maybe make rapidity cuts * HiRA group suggestions: consider including shadow bars? Also, consider something to veto protons (maybe the first later in MoNA) ====Zibi: AT-TPC Experiment Proposal==== * Test out AT-TPC and examine fusion barriers in Pb, Cs * H gas in chamber, look at tracks made, determine energy of fusion * Implications on r process * Calibration: 208Pb, has known fusion cross-section ====Other Experimental Scheduling==== * Lee's: maybe in fall. Alan Wuosmaa's: maybe in spring 2013. Can keep setup in S2 * No updates on RIKEN experiment ====Mike: pBUU paper==== * Modeling Sn+Sn and varied lots of parameters. Looking primarily at DR(n/p): * varied mean field stiffness and momentum-dependence * vary Sint with gamma * cross-sections in screened/free/Rostock model with and without clusters * dependence of DR on energy and momentum-dependence (or -independence) * Repeat with clusters and coalescence-invariance: DR varying with gamma, cross-section type * Look at single yield ratios (pp, nn, np, tt, 3He3He, t3He) * Bill and Zibi suggest other calculations to run
