  • Sasha and Josh installed another set of 12 crystals in the PS setup in the hall
    • Have now studied ~80 crystals with this setup
    • Batch 8 had some internal imperfections
    • Plan to send 2 discolored SICCAS crystals back to Shanghai after doing transmittance measurements
  • 3 modified PMT dividers have been installed in COMCAL
    • 2 have been fixed after correcting wrong resistor values (needed to keep current draw below 1 mA)
    • Hope to test with beam this weekend
    • Plan is to finalize design soon, then order 150 bases for COMCAL refurbishment
  • Jared presented his study of signal PDFs for Dark Scalar search
    • Using 2 Crystal Ball functions to parameterize detector response (could in principle use double Guassian)
      • Pull distributions look good
      • Iterative parameter smoothing is working
    • Developed a set of python scripts
