Items for Discussion
- Change threshold and maximum number of hits in repository.
- GlueX note under development to describe mechanism for background suppression in the FCAL. Timing information from the FADC will be key in removing background hits.
- At what dose does radiation damage begin to become an issue?
- This source cites this paper and notes a drop in response for TF1 lead glass of e after about a 2 krad dose.
