- FDC was moved on the floor on Monday. Bill, Casey, and Dave glued the 16 reflectors to the gussets of the packages (four per package). The survey group started working on the new targets yesterday and they are working now. Preliminary findings: if looking along z they found distance between the first and last package to the be the same as the measured one within 0.5mm (measured with measuring tape?). However, they found that this is no longer the case if you look at some angle (w.r.t. the normal of the reflectors), as Eugene expected. They are now trying to find what is the range of the angles that is acceptable. They were also instructed to redo all the surveys they did before: the four SMR holders on each package and the flatness measurements.

- Thickness of the packages: the thickness of a cell used so far in the simulation and data analyses was 2.1254 cm. By comparing the angles reconstructed from the Indiana chambers to those from the FDC, Lubomir estimated the thickness should be 2.15 +/- 0.1 cm (for the third package). This created some confusion that the nominal value may differ from the measured one due to the thickness of the glue on the cathodes that is not well controllable. However the problem was solved when Bill looked at the recent I-deas model and found the value there's 2.145 cm (after the meeting, xml file attached). He calculated also from the model the thickness of the full package: 14.42 cm and compared it to the results of the gusset flatness survey (attached) which gives 14.43 cm for the first package: very good agreement! Bill is going to look at the other packages too.

- We discussed again the previous survey results. Even, as stated at the last meeting Bill found
