Review of minutes from the last meeting

We went over the minutes from April 10. No significant comments.

Upgrade Plan

  • Four bars of acrylic (2 of 4 feet in length, 2 of 6 feet) have been purchased and delivered to FSU. The manufacturer is not planning a run until the end of May. Paul is looking for another source for the balance.
  • Mark has to go back through his email and order a milling bit for FSU.
  • The costs for the upgrade will be charged to Hall D operations.
  • Beni went down to the Hall and assessed availability of electronic channels:
    • Splitters: in the four boxes, there are a total of 13 empty channels. We need to make more.
    • ADC: 16 available channels
    • TDC: 16 channels minus one for the RF. We need another TDC. Spares are tight.
    • Discriminator: there is a open one, save for 1 or 2 channels.
  • Production has started at FSU on the light guides. A few lefties are done. They are starting on some righties.
  • Paul has found fund to support Ian Winger as an engineer on this project.

NIM Paper

The NIM paper is on hold while we do construction and installation.
