pid meeting, 7/9

Elton, Tim, Elliott, Mark, yi, beni, eugene, sascha FSU sasha

cryo review, tim still needs to do this, cost estimate needed as well chris confident about He4, but need verification chris was going to talk to vendor

LED pulser system up running, not yet tried with counter used for time walk corrections for time-of-flight useful but a lot of effort could it have been done with the data, but difficult data does not have a start time need to have the scintillator excite

Elton down at USC, similar things being done for CLAS12 they decided against a laser system, will do everything with data with cosmic ray set up they got time-walk correction we will have two planes, that will help large dynamic range in energies needed if it can be done from the data, the calibration system will not be done need a study

Flash ADC would be desireable at some time. time difference idea: Yi

trapezoidal light guide not large enough to cover PMT

new data acquisition system written, not used yet doing measurements with different wrappings want to keep set-up constant

40 cm long trigger counters

cosmic ray measurements using different pedestal reduction program, 400-> 200 counts adjustment on ADC 3 days to collect statistics new material ESR/VM2000, mylar to come then switch to new daq and led pulser

Ralf using aluminized mylar, works well in Germany want a stable material CLAS6 used aluminum foil

Eugene use pair spectrometer, change pair spectrometer magnet to vary opening angle, solenoid will move pairs around acceptance: small opening angle to get through beam tube 2 cm target, vacuum chamber
