Minutes

Present:

  • FIU: Werner Boeglin, Lei Guo, Puneet Khetarpal, Eric Pooser
  • JLab: Eugene Chudakov, Chuck Hutton, Mark Ito (chair), Tim Whitlatch, Beni Zihlmann

SiPM configuration

  • We reviewed the Conference call with Hamamatsu representatives and the solution we have decided to pursue: 4 SMD-type 3×3 mm devices in a row.
  • We reviewed the recently received [??? quote from Hamamatsu] for the relevant devices.
  • We looked at the latest drawings from Chuck, [??? 3-D close-up version] and [??? line-drawing version] and discussed various mechanical considerations for the read-out design.

Prototype Report

  • Werner has placed an order with McNeil to make a sample counter.

Simulation Report

Puneet showed results recent results from new studies that model light collection in the counters. He uses Geant4. He described:

  1. Geometry and set-up
  2. Material properties used
  3. Optical surface options explored

Results are not inconsistent with what has been observed on the bench. See his wiki page for details.
