=====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.
