New Students

  • new undergrads should take radiation training

  • Bill/Betty will look for third undergrad to do testing

Lab Move

  • Cabinets up, eyewash not yet hooked up to water lines. Alarm is still on door
  • Clean power? electricians may be able to put in what we want, Mike sent an email
  • Zibi to write a list and keep asking for the changes we want
  • Next week: undergrads pack and move stuff

Updates

Jack

  • Romer arm pixels, calculated phi vs. theta looks good.
  • target position may be slightly off (~1 mm?)

Dan

  • calibrate energy in NW. Data from Co60 source doesn't look right
