Meeting Minutes February 24, 2012

Present

Zibi, Rachel, Suwat, Dan, Mike, Bec, Bill, Jack, Betty

Group Business

  • Meeting moved to 1:30 starting next week
  • Updates: abatement scheduled for the 28th
  • Efficiency (Jack): spread out bins across pixel evenly. Working on 2 ways to calculate the fraction of 4Pi covered
  • Bec and Rachel will try to use the program, then we all discuss again
  • HiRA Cans: 2 made
  • Lee's experiment: we'll design the box
  • 14 chip boards on the way from Wash U, they're being tested there
  • Confirmed order of E silicons

Obertelli's Thesis (Bec)

  • 14O spectroscopic factor by knockout and transfer reactions
  • Experiment: p and n transger, elastic scatter of d
  • knockout results consistent with previous results.
  • Weakly bound n transfer, Obertelli only shows (d,t) results. What about the (d, 3He) data?
  • Comparison to Shell Model–is it missing something?

Acceptance Effects in Efficiency (Zibi)

  • Theta vs E for lab and CM systems
  • mask off t, 3He for where overlap in theta vs Ecm plots : smooths out t/3He ratios
  • Similarly, pBUU gives smooth t/3He ratios and looks like the un-acceptance-corrected data when apply a detector filter
  • Point: look at where data lies before making cuts.
