=====Meeting Minutes March 2, 2012=====

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

====Conferences (Betty)====

  * EOS meeting in Syracuse, Italy September 2012. Only those with results get to go.
  * Astrophysics meeting at MSU, October? 2012
  * Nuclear structure meeting at Argonne, August 2012

====Visitors (Betty)====
  * Yingxun will be here for 3 weeks, starting May 13
  * Our summer student is arriving around May 9
  * Sergio is coming sometime in April

====Group Business====
  * Lab Move: floor is finished, then they will paint the walls (maybe?). Possibly moving next week.
  * Efficiency (Jack): Two methods. A. Calculate fraction of the solid angle for each pixel. B. phi vs theta, times sin(theta)--integrate. Should equal A. For Method B to work, need enough bins in phi, theta and enough bins for each pixel
  * Lee's Experiment: no update on the preamp box. Got remaining chip boards.
  * HiRA Cans: ordering more screws. Jack will make sure Jimmy has the correct drawings.

====Updates====
  * Mike: E vs. Theta in lab and center of mass. No efficiency correction (yet). Theta/dOmega not smooth through theta
  * Rachel: E vs Theta for 05049.  Multiplicity issues: the miniball multiplicity is from the TDC, did not work for first 3/4 of the experiment. So for now will use CsI multiplicity for cuts
  * Zibi: study of varying theta(cm) cuts. Does not see a big dependence on width of Theta(cm) cut.
  * Cuts on centrality: affects single-yields but not double ratio
  * BUU: DR(n/p) always flat, DR(t/3He) increases with increasing energy (in calcium).

===Spring Break next week: only Friday group meeting!===
