Minutes

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

1. Announcements
   • Report on calibration from Athens scheduled for next Thu at the cal working group meeting.
2. Review of Action Items
3. Update - USM
   • Will has started drafting a sow, beginning with clearly defining the division of responsibilities between JLab and USM. Preliminary notes in the form of a table listing the tasks have been sent to Elton for feedback.
4. SiPM Radiation Hardness Test (Update from Yi)
   • Samples have been irradiated at different temperatures, and they are in the recovery phase.
   • Recovery is strongly temperature dependent, with recovery at 60 degrees almost complete after a couple of days. Recover at 0deg very slow, no change in the same time period.
   • Preliminary conclusions: recovery is about as expected; gain by cooling 15 deg is 2.6 vs 3.1.
5. Electronics/cooling
6. Geometry and light guides
7. Simulation runs
