=====Meeting Minutes May 11, 2012=====

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

====Group Business====
  * work in HiRA lab should be done by next week
  * Zibi will submit a work order for clean power
  * 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
===Other Experiments===
  * No official word until after PAC.
  * Lee is likely to run in the fall, Alan in the spring
===Scheduling for longer updates===
  * Jun: May 25
  * Jon: May 18. TPC project overview
===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.
