Group Business

  • work in HiRA lab should be done by next week

  • Need power cables back from storage (Rachel will take care of this)
  • Reminder: undergrads cannot handle radiation sources!
  • Summer student coming next week. Jack will work with him on pin source calibrations
  • Start up Lab Watch next week
  • Trouble reports: who gets the notice if N2 stops working? (Answer: right now, no one)

New Wiki Policy

  • Jon will take the lead on this
  • everyone is an admin on the HiRA wiki!

Target Drives (Jack)

  • Had 3 target drives from the transfer experiments. Turned one into new drive for e07038. Would the same design work for the other two drives for future transfer experiments?
  • target drives are currently in the basement cabinets
  • TD controllers are packed into S3 cabinet
  • Jack will talk to Ghulam. Will need to check new target drives before Lee's experiment

RIKEN

  • presentation by Lu Fei Monday at 7 pm (check your email)
  • Xe beam likely running November-December

Ring Buffer Readout

  • Bec: FEE card test ongoing for TPC.
  • Need new readout system to handle the more data. Zibi discussed with Ron about us switching to Ring Buffer

Short Updates

  • Jon: has an office! W215
  • Suwat: needs to schedule committee meeting
  • Rachel: working on coding LASSA for Jack's experiment
  • Mike: LASSA efficiency.. many “small” problems
  • Dan: working on GEANT, able to read energy deposited by individual particles
  • Zibi: completed edge corrections and accounted for problem strips. Spectra look great! (yields of H, He isotopes).
  • Zibi talked to Pawel, accounting for charge exchange seems to improve the double ratio, Pawel is thinking about how to implement
  • Jack: time calibrations for S800 TDC. Very similar slope for all time channels.
