Review of minutes from the last meeting

We reviewed the minutes of the January ??? meeting.

  • Sasha asked Beni what he did to get the 41 ps intrinsic resolution with the F1 TDC. Beni did his test putting two versions of the same signal into different channels of the TDC. Sasha will try this.
  • Sasha is waiting for a 25 ps least count TDC from CAEN to arrive.
  • Geometry. We had a rather meandering discussion of how best to arrange the TOF counters. Options on the table include:
    1. Widening the counters from 6 cm to 8 cm to allow PMT's to be in a collinear arrangement.
    2. Shifting alternate counters (in z) enough to allow straight light guides.
    3. Collinear counters with curved light guides to avoid interference between PMT's from neighboring counters.


bent light guides beni agrees to ship a tdc to FSU fishtail OK tow possivble schedules mdrive

construction

numbers for bending, machining, straight
