Minutes

Attendees: Fernando, Elton, Yi, Eugene, Beni, Chuck, Tim, John (JLab); Andrei (UofR); Alam, Will (USM)

  1. Announcements
    • USM has shipped signed MOU via TNT Express, should arrive later this week.
    • USM connected using ESnet and voice communication was excellent. (ESnet dropped out once at the JLab end but unrelated to USM connection).
  2. Review of Action Items
  3. Update - USM
    • No report
    • Statement of work is now needed to be worked out in detail. It needs to be accompanied by a Fasttrack Schedule with milestones. Will to revisit early draft and update for next meeting.
  4. Simulation runs
    • Simulation of cosmic-ray runs are ongoing and will be ready in time to analyze data.
  5. Cosmic-ray setup at UofR
    • 3rd point completed, will add 2 more points and repeat measurement at center of module.
    • Measurements take long time to accumulate the data and are being impacted by power outages in Regina
    • Overall spectra look reasonable and roughly scale by anticipated factors.
    • Extraction of the npe/MeV numbers will require careful analysis and checks of data quality.
  6. Geometry
  7. SiPM Radiation Hardness Test (Update from Yi)
    • 1x1 and 3x3 mm2 samples were intially tested by Carl and are now being irradiated by the AmBe neutron source from Radcon.
    • Ji has updated his web links to reflect latest calculations by Pavel and his interpretation of those calculations.
  8. Light guides
