Meeting Minutes March 9, 2012

Present

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

Group Business

  • Seminar next week at 2:30 on Friday. Move group meeting?
  • Thurs 11 am, research discussion involving lead radii—all should go?
  • Mike will figure out answers to the above questions and email everyone
  • Lab move: floor is finished. Currently at a stop about the eyewash station.
  • Putting in airflow for the pumps, still need LCW
  • Access starting around March 16?

Updates

Dan

  • Working on a program to do full matching in the neutron walls. Lots of bugs, working on it
  • Need to talk to Silvan about how the simulations are going
  • Got the GEANT program for neutron walls from M. Famiano

Mike

  • Efficiency for LASSA: data/dOmega curve a lot smoother when remove pixels that are shadowed by miniball elements as well as strips 7 and 8 (center strips)
  • Strips 7 and 8 on front and back are all lower than would expect
  • Still have some issue at angles 30-35 degrees (Telescopes 3 and 4)
  • Will look at 50 MeV data next. Also account for efficiency losses in center strips

Rachel

  • Efficiency: Jack's program not compatible with 05049 trees. Jack and Rachel will work this out

Bec

  • Efficiency program not filling. Jack thinks this is due to a change he made, will look at it
  • Miniball storage case: needs holes for the rails. The cart and cover are here
  • 56Ni: high energy particles are not well modeled in J. Tostevin's code
  • Energy calibration: not matched well. DE problem? Different thickness on DE?

Jack

  • has lots to work on for the efficiency program

Suwat

  • Resistor is back, bigger than thought, but should fit. Need to figure out how to work it into the step down.
