announcements

no more phone

elliott soa workshop, contact if interested dave and elliott will attend

variable thresholds in code now. not how it will be done david

Andrei: segmentation scheme, not agree, reconstrcution code effects energy resolution. if noise added or hits missed calibration will bias means

bother updating kloe: kloe default is still used in the fine segmentation scheme keep to kloe alive, keep for now

david

single particle plugin if two particles, two events are made

simon

sub groups

matt calorimetry

list of things, 1234 segmentation,334 to switch geometry not as flexible as originally thought will working on it

timing offsets time is set by timeof highest energy block xyz is not taken into account will take some work and attention: matt will try this himself

simon, tracking

quality of track candidates found issues with angle guess for very forward going tracks fixed up angle in track candidate some minor changes

farming out fiducial cuts a possible issue design goal one degree

paul pid

new scheme, slightly different

hermes log of prob ratios beni

instead of adding chisq , try to weight chisq from different sources, the way to do that is not clear, problem is that errors are correlated
