meeting time and location
- 9:30 am EST (JLab time) remote only
- Zoom meeting ID: 161 050 9142 Passcode: 004965
Agenda
- Preparation for mass production of FCAL2 modules -- Sasha
- Summer Students (2022)
- DSG:
- 860 SICCAS foils preshaped. Need to preshape about 40 more, will switch to CRYTUR foils then
- Wrapping rate: about 20 crystals per week
- Chris A continues to braze starps (have right now about 40 assemblies)
- Igal continues cutting ESR, Tedlar, and Kapton foils
- Silicon cookies (GWU)
- Olga is planning to come in the beginning of next week and bring some cookies (about 400), see her report
- Module fabrication -- Sasha
- Cabling of the FCAL insert -- Sasha
- Meeting with Fernando, Tim, and Chris S. regarding LV cable distribution [1]
- Light Monitoring System -- Arshak
- COMCAL tests, TAC running, etc. -- Sasha
- Design of the 3x3 calorimeter prototype (by Bobby B.). It will be installed on the TAC platform during the CPP run and used for other tests later.
- Data analysis
- Simulations
- Workshops/external meetings
- DNP 2022 fall meeting: DNP 2022 web site
- Proposed ECT* (https://www.ectstar.eu/) workshop
