  • The clean room in the TEDF is ready to go! Safety documentation is in the works.
  • 150 more PMTs arrived -- need dimension checks
  • Shanghai Ceramics has still not shipped the crystals, although it sounds like things are reopening there.
    • We have money for 500 more crystals but it looks like a new contract will be needed
  • Still trying to arrange contract with Wuhan (original was rejected due to appearance of duplication of effort).
  • We finalized the light guide design: will go with 18 mm diameter standard tube size, connect with crystal with cookie for ease of maintenance.
    • Suggestion was made to test 3x3 array with beam
    • Can also use existing setup in PS arm
  • Dividers: Chris S. working on procuring parts and constructing several modified dividers (1-2 week time frame)
    • Instrument part of COMCAL with 3x, 6x amplification modifications, need to measure resolution
  • Gluex/JEF up for jeopardy this PAC -- need to put together an update
