Review minutes from the April 28 meeting
We went over the minutesfrom last time.
The bias scan was done during the Spring run. Results were reported by Mahmoud Kamel at the Collaboration meeting last week.
Propagation Time Calibration
Eric presented slides on the status of the propagation time calibration. He has tried several methods for fitting the dependence of the time difference between two hit counters vs. the hit position difference, where hit position is measured along the counter and is determined by charged tracks. He sees a few percent variation i the light propagation velocity depending on the fit method. The values are also significantly slower that those measured on the bench at FIU. See his presentation for details.
We had two suggestions for things to try:
- a cut on minimum energy using the FADC data
- restricting the fit region to positions with high statistics
Next Meeting
We will meet again in two weeks, on June 4.
