- First look at the FDC efficiency now with 6.3V threshold on the discriminators. Compared to the 8V thresholds (on the picture attached: black 6.3V, red 8V from previous run) before we see just a little increase of the efficiency from 94 to about 95%: not significant; could be also noise.

- Fernando: the HV filter boxes have been installed and the noise on the CDC was reduced dramatically  down to ~5mV! See the above a link to the GlueX document for scope pictures and explanations. Fernando explained that the noise on the FDC is much lower because the HV is applied at the other end of the wire. Still there was some noise on the cards that were close to the HV cables, that is expected also to go down.

- The power supply of a NIM crate in EEL126 used in the make a cosmic trigger failed; people there smelled it burning. The crate was labeled. Nick and Chris will look into this, and possibly replace the power supply.

- Lubomir answered Eugene's question about the tests with spare package in the tagger. The chamber sees high rates from: 1)background photons over the whole sensitive area and 2) electrons from the radiator in the shear plane of the magnet of the order of 100kHz per wire. Electrons, unlike photons, make hits in the two chambers of the spare package.
