  • IU: Matt Shepherd,
  • JLab: Mark Ito (chair), David Lawrence, Simon Taylor, Elliott Wolin, Beni Zihlmann

Announcements

  • The halld group disk almost ran out of space yesterday. Some clean-up was done and the quota was increased from 105 GB to 125 GB. David asked about the cost of this form of disk storage. No one present could answer so he will look into it.
  • A formal request for a new MySQL server has been submitted to JLab IT. The new server will mirror the calibration database and will allow read-only connections from off the JLab site. Agreement for such a configuration was agreed to some months ago.
  • There will be a special session for upgrades at the Collaboration Meeting next week. Richard will present his work on Geant4 in that session.

Review of minutes from the last meeting

We reviewed the minutes from the ??? meeting.

  • On simulating sampling fluctuations in the BCAL, David reported that Elton Smith has summarized the discussion held when Andrei and Irina Semonov(a) were here. Work on this is planned for the summer.

will single particle events veo efficency for pions interesting

Simon - low momentum protons, rare eta 350 MeV/c cut-ff seen improved - track recovery code kinks and borken tracks chi2 distributions improving

Paul M pi recon efficiency what about higher pt ideas being tested changes in hi prining my help

paul pid k cerenkov studies after collab meeting

target vessel dimensions have also changed lowest angle for start counter about 3 degrees

hdds version needed new release needed nightly seems ok

have a look at slides: david
