June 8, 2012 Meeting Minutes
Present
Zibi, Mike, Jack, Suwat, Rachel, Chris, Bill, Bec, Dan, Betty
Group Business
Lab phasing out SSH client for something else
Deletion of experimental accounts: visiting people need a solution
Syracuse conference: if want to go, submit an abstract with results to Bill and Betty.
The theory library is moving/turning into an office. No meetings there any more
HiRA Lab updates: no internet yet. Zibi proposed a permanent solution and computer group will take care of it
We also have a proposal for the clean power
New HiRA silicon E came, Mike will check pin sizes
Work for undergrads week of June 18 when half of group gone: Mike typed up and sent to Bill and Betty
Rachel will organize HiRA cabinet to make room for TPC stuff.
Shipping out to storage: an ongoing project….
In High Bay: get rid of miniball container/cart. Put lexan boxes onto roof
Send Brahms TPC to WMU
CAEN HV: put in locked cage on roof.
Lab watch: Suwat this week, all is good. Mike next week.
Upcoming experiments: RIKEN has only enough money to run two months not three. If that happens, we will probably get pushed back to the spring
REU student working with Suwat
Updates
Dan: working on GEANT simulations
Rachel: For e05049: electronics issue on one bank of miniball.
Suwat: lexan sheet in for TPC
Jack: CRDC correction: slope and offset correction not enough,will need to correct nonlinearity as well
Mike: checking if low thresholds have caused weirdness in t/3He spectra. Look to see in centrality cut
Zibi: Ca+Ca spectra by centrality cuts. Systems see almost no sensitivity through mid-rapidity range
